Before using for the first time • Hand wash all the detachable parts, the ladle, the lid and the bowl before initial use. • In order to prepare yoghurt, you will need a litre of milk and some yoghurt bacteria culture. Choice of milk • Yoghurt can be made from milk of various fat contents; Skimmed milk (less than 0.1 %), Whole milk (3.5 %) or even other kinds of milk. • Milk with a higher fat content, such as whole milk (full fat milk), will give the yoghurt a firmer consistency and more flavour. • It takes 5–10 hours to make yoghurt, depending on the type of milk used and how you want it to taste. You should experiment until you find a combination which meets your taste. Choice of bacteria culture • From a shop-bought natural yoghurt with the longest best- before date as possible (freshest). • From a yoghurt you have made yourself. • From a freeze-dried culture bought at a health food shop etc. Operating instructions Making the yoghurt 1. Heat the milk to 80–85 °C (to kill any other types of unwanted bacteria cultures) 2. Allow the milk to cool down to: 40–45 °C and carefully mix your yoghurt culture into the milk. If using natural yoghurt, mix in about 100 ml yoghurt to 1 litre milk. Fold in carefully with a spoon, do not whisk. 3. Pour the milk-yoghurt mixture into the bowl. 4. Put the lid on the bowl and place the bowl inside the yoghurt maker. 5. Plug the yoghurt maker in and switch it on. NOTE: • Do not move the yoghurt maker while it is switched on. • Avoid using the yoghurt maker in places which are very dry or which are subject to strong vibrations. Cooling the yoghurt 1. Remove the lid of the bowl to prevent drops of condensation falling into the yoghurt. 2. Place the bowl of yoghurt in a fridge for at least an hour before it is to be consumed. If you wait for 2 hours, the yoghurt will be firmer. 3. Never store the yoghurt in the fridge for longer than 8–10 days. 4. Never place the entire yoghurt maker in the fridge, only the detachable parts.
