Using Non-Pressure Cooking Smart Programs

Smart Program: Yogurt

The Yogurt Smart Program is a non-pressure cooking function with 3 preset
options to allow you to make different types of fermented dairy and non-dairy
recipes.
For best results, follow a recipe when making yogurt.
If you are starting with unpasteurized or pasteurized milk, follow all the steps in
"To Make Yogurt" below.
If your milk is ultra-pasteurized, you may skip ahead to "Step 2 – Add Starter
Culture". This method of yogurt making is called "cold start".
What You'll Need:
• Food Thermometer
• Milk or a non-dairy alternative
• Active yogurt culture
