- Join me as I make half a gallon of yogurt for my family. My kids eat it quickly and I feel good about giving it to them.
You'll notice that I stop and start this recipe often. I hope this can be an encouragement to moms: you can juggle many things while still being a mom, first and foremost.

I hate cleanup, so I avoid cooking directly in the pot when possible. I've found that arranged properly three 1-quart, wide-mouth mason jars fit in the 6-quart pot. I add about three quarts of water into the pot to spread the heat around the bottles. I add the milk to the bottles, put them in, and go through the sterilize ("Boil") phase. When that is done, I take them out, place them in a pot or pan with cool water and cover the tops with a paper towel. That allows them to cool down more quickly. Then when the milk has reached the right temperature to add the yogurt, I add it and put them back into the IP. When done, I take the bottles out, add lids and put them in a refrigerator. That leaves me with nothing to clean up.
I have seen that concept a couple of other places, but have never tried it. I'm glad it works well for you!
Didn’t know IP had a boil/streamline setting. I do want to try the approach.
I was looking for a video that explains how to do it in jars... thank you for this comment. I want to try it!
Brilliant!
This is a game Che. Thank you for sharing.
I've been making Yogurt for 5 years. My spouse takes her meds in yogurt. The only difference in my process is that I use Ultra-pasteurized milk - usually lactose free. Using this milk one can use the "cold start" method. You don't need the boiling step, just pour the cold milk in the pot and hit the Yogurt button. I strain it as you do and flavor it some Agave syrup and a dash of vanilla.
Super helpful, and mad respect for you doing all that around taking care of the kids!
Thank you so much! It takes practice and understanding on my part and theirs. They like eating the food that I make, though, so that's good motivation. :)
Great video. Clear and concise. Well done. Thank you Rachel. I am not a yogurt fan myself, but the family loves it. My first batch was a big hit. Not only did my wife and kids love it, it was gone in a couple days. I'm making my second batch now. Thanks again!
I absolutely love that strainer. Thank you for suggesting it!
I'm so glad you like it!
Thank you for this, I’ve just got an instant pot and really want to make yoghurt, I’ve watched a few videos, but yours is the best I’ve found with simple fresh ingredients.
I'm so glad that you found it to be helpful! With two toddlers, I don't have time for anything complicated or fancy. :)
You're video was immensely helpful, thank you so much. I will be making this from now on!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Hi, thanks for the helpful video and your friendly presentation style. I've made dozens of batches of yogurt in my Instant Pot and never sterilised it. I suggest you try that because i believe heating the milk up kills off any unwanted bacteria already on the pot. Also i leave mine to ferment for 24 hours. The longer ferment does make it more tart but it has far more probiotics. Best wishes from New Zealand. Regards Glenn
Thanks so much !!! Great I do ! I'm gonna try this tomorrow !! My elderly sister loves it and needs it for her healgh. And I'm partial to it myself. Km excited !!!
I hope it went smoothly for you! Thanks for watching!
So interesting about straining out the whey - I know you mentioned this to me before but it was so cool to see it! I will definitely need to do this for the hubby and toddlers sensitive tummy! Thanks so much for showing each step! I am going to try doing it this way next time! 😘
I hope it works for them! 😁 Thanks for being here, friend!
Thank you for sharing your recipe!! ❤️❤️❤️
My pleasure 😊
Thanks for the video. I bought and had to return the strainer. It was cracked from top to bottom. I hope to buy it and not have shipping. I also like how you're flexible with making yogurt because life happens.
Great content. Thanks for taking the time in doing this video.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Will try this soon.
Enjoy!
Your video is amazing. well made. I will be trying this
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the tutorial. Unbeknownst to you, you are a professional. This is very similar to my process.
Cheers
I'm happy to share. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing!❤️
My pleasure!
Wonderful video
I enjoyed your tutorial and am going to try making yogurt. How long does the yogurt starter keep? I’m the only one in my house that eats yogurt, but would like to make my own.
Was given an instant pot for Christmas so am definitely going to try this but plant-based as I have a family history of cancer and need to avoid all the estrogen in dairy. Thanks for posting
This is the recipe I used when my child had to be dairy free. I hope you like it!

I understood those instructions! Thanks
I'm so glad it was helpful!
i made the yogurt , thanks for the well explained video
I'm so glad it turned out well!
New subscriber! 👋
I love making Greek yogurt in the instant pot. 👌 I love that strainer-I use coffee filters, and it's messy. I might have to get one of those thanks! 😃
I tried coffee filters and quickly decided I wanted something different. 🤣 Thanks for the sub!
This was excellent. I just bought yogurt for my husband and me. Can I freeze the jars ? Kudos to ur family for eating healthy.
Your video is so helpful, I'm making yogurt for the first time. My insta pot/lid sure is spicy smelling. I added water to the pot and did a 15 minute steam cycle that did help a little bit. I'm steaming a 2ndtime, but this time, i added a little vinegar to the water, i hope it works, but I am prepared to run a 3rd time with just water increase 😊
A clean IP and homemade yogurt? Win-win! :)
Wonderful video I probably watched it 4 times, lol
I am trying to cut down on my sugar intake so I was exploring what kind of artificial sweeteners would work and it occurred to me to try the Tang liquid concentrate drink mix that I use in my water bottle these drink mixes come in many different flavors from many different companies so it gave it a try - just add the tiniest bit of this stuff to your yogurt because a little goes a long way.
It was absolutely fantastic, way beyond what I could possibly have hoped for.
Give it a try, remember go sparingly and keep up the great vids.
Great video! I am wondering what you do with the whey? Also, have you ever had yogurt with honey and lemon? It's one of those flavor combos that's a super winner (and how the traditional way to eat yogurt in Greece!). Adding chopped nuts is a super tasty option for honey and lemon too! Thank you
I have never heard of adding lemon and honey. I'll have to try that! I usually save the whey and use it as the liquid for my kids' smoothies.
Started my newest batch and accidently did it on low for two hours. I restarted and added and extra hour on normal. WILL THAT WORK?
Thank you for such an informative tutorial. Making this today. Also went over to Kristen’s site just to watch.
Kristen is an amazing source for all things related to the instant pot. Thanks for watching!
Made it and it turned out perfect. My first 2 qts of homemade yogurt. ThNk you!
I loved your video thank you
You are so welcome!
Can you add sweetened condensed milk? If so, at what step?
I use the whey to make a fermented lemonade. It’s delicious and nothing wasted.
I have never heard of that--I am intrigued! Do you mind sharing your process?
You can also use the whey as a starter
I make yogurt in the IP, but, use ultra filtered milk, yogurt starter and put on yogurt setting… that’s it!
This is a fool proof and guaranteed method that I have also used many times. The one downside of using the ultra pasteurized/ultra filter milk like Fairlife is the cost. A bottle of Fairlife which is not even a half gallon is like over four dollars vs a gallon of whole milk which is 4.50. I wish it was as economical since we eat a lot of yogurt.
This was delicious. I used a squirt of honey and I threw in some leftover chopped pecans. It was so good.
Yum! I am so glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
How long can I store yogurt in the refrigerator? Also, I have a mason jar vacuum sealer, if I use that will the healthy bacteria stay alive?
I used a flavored yogurt with live cultures and it worked fine!
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your video! I have been making yogurt in my crock pot for several months now and am just trying my quick-cooker tonight.
I also use 8 oz jars but add flavoring as it is consumed - usually drink powdered mix-ins or liquid sugar-free flavor mix-ins for drinks. It works great!
It is so rewarding to know exactly what is in our food!
@@homemakingwithjoy Agreed! It's also nice to have some control over cost/quality as well.
I did not let mine sit a little while before cooling it down and the finished product was thinner than I'd like (though my kids LOVE it). I will let it sit just a little longer next time.
Just came across this video when looking for a way to make my husband yogurt. Thanks so much for sharing!
I have 2 questions....
1....For the 2 TBS or so that you reserve for your next batch...can it be frozen in case there is a lot of time between batches?
2....How long will this last in the fridge? I'll probably just put it in a large bowl for him to scoop out what he wants, but he
craves it in spurts. lol
So I totally messed up… I put the yogurt starter before I cooked it… will it work??
What about draining off whey?
What size lid do you use
Hi Rachel,
I’m wondering where you purchased your fine mesh strainer for making your Greek Yogurt?
Hi! The link is in the description of the video. 😁 Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel...nice work! I'm wondering why you chose the boil method as opposed to the cold method of making yogurt.
Thanks for watching! I prefer not to buy the ultra pasteurized milk required for the cold method--it is an extra thing to remember from the store and it costs more. I don't mind the boiling process.
I’m not certain, but I think getting the milk to 180 F is critical. My final yogurt came out super watery, from what I read getting the milk to 180 and keeping it there for a bit helps get the finished product more gelatinous.
Thank you very much for all the tips! How long can you store yogurt in a fridge?
Great question! My kids devour it in 2 days 😂 but I would guess 5ish days in the fridge
How long did it take to go from Boil to yogurt?
Can you use half of the recipe? If so would it be the same method and times?
❤❤❤
I just did this today because of your video! Where did you get your straining bowl at?!
That's great! The strainer is linked in the description. :)
Did you say the brand of the strainer? I have some very old small plastic ones ( which still work). I’d love that big one that I could use to strain it all at once
It is linked in the description for you 😁
A good video, well done
Thanks so much!
thanks cool yogurt making video
I'm glad you liked it!
Would it be ok to use one quart of milk? It’s only my husband and I and I wouldn’t want it to go bad before we can use it all.
I don't see why that wouldn't work! 😊 You wouldn't need as much starter, but otherwise the incubation process should the same.
How could I add protein powder so it becomes like the oukos pro?
I would just mix it into the finished product before you eat it.
Thank you for everything. Can I use milk from the store?
Yes! That's what I use. 🙂
Can you add a can of sweetened condensed milk to this rather than honey at packaging time?
Yes! It was too sweet for our taste, but I have done it before. :)
I will do it right now…
You can also use Fairlife 16:10 ultra pasteurized milk. Pour it into your instant pot and add your cultured yogurt and whisk it so there’s no lumps. Put it back into your instant pot and use the yogurt setting that is not the boil setting . The instant pot will warm the mixture to the desired temperature and then you set the timer for however many hours you want it to incubate…I usually set mine for 8 hours. When the time is up you remove the pot and let it cool. After it’s cool I put mine in the refrigerator to let it set up then I pour it into the yogurt strainer like the one in this video. I then put the strainer in the refrigerator to let the whey separate from the yogurt. Save the whey to use in several different ways. The longer the yogurt is in the strainer the thicker it becomes. I put mine in individual containers and keep them in the refrigerator and pour the whey into a jar with a lid. I’ve done the stove method years ago and had great results but I think the instant pot method is the easiest. Just remember that you use the boil cycle for regular milk and the yogurt cycle for ultra pasteurized milk like Fairlife.
Yep! This is called the cold start method. I prefer to use regular milk, but I know lots of people like your method, too!
This is a fool proof and guaranteed method that I have also used many times. The one downside of using the ultra pasteurized/ultra filter milk like Fairlife is the cost. A bottle of Fairlife which is not even a half gallon is like over four dollars vs a gallon of whole milk which is 4.50. I wish it was as economical since we eat a lot of yogurt.
Hello. I'm new to your channel. I liked your easy going style. I've decided to to subscribe.
Thanks for your kind words!
Same here! Thanks for the video Rachel!
You're welcome! Thanks for being here!
I have read if you use ULTRA PASTEURIZED milk you don’t have to heat it, just put in instant pot with store bought yogurt! Anyone try that?
Are you talking Celsius?
Is this a 3qt instant pot ? i'm asking because i want to get one but i don't know if it's enough for 1 person or too small
I have the standard 6 quart Instant Pot. The vast majority of IP recipes are written for the standard model. You might have a harder time finding uses for the 3 quart, depending on what you're making.
@@homemakingwithjoy Thanks, but wouldn't the 6qt instant pot be too big for 1 person ? i cook every day something new because i don't like too much leftovers
If that is the case, I would recommend learning the individual foods that you can make in an Instant Pot (hard boiled eggs, steamed veggies, fresh or frozen meat, yogurt, etc) as opposed to full meals. Any of those items can be adapted for the 3 or 6 quart Instant Pots.
I have both 3q and 6q and I find I use the 3q more for my family of 3 for almost everything but soup for which I use the larger pot.
Excellent..do you sterilize your jars
Thanks for watching! No, I don't sterilize the jars.
If you're using pasteurized milk you only have to heat to 140 degrees.
Good job well done 👍🥰
Thank you!
I tried your method and the result was excellent 👍 I have made yogurt twice since then I am really happy thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰👍
@@taj9000 I'm so glad to hear it!!
What can I use to strain the whey or what do you recommend?
I use a strainer linked in the description. You could also use cheesecloth. 🙂
clean tea towell over a strainer works good too.
Excellent awesome,,,
Thanks!
Can i use caserole lid ?
The yogurt incubates around 110 degrees F, so as long as your lid can handle that, I think so!
Is the whey acidic? How can it be used?
I wouldn't consider it acidic. I often use mine as the liquid base in smoothies. Some folks use it in place of water in baking. Others water it down and use it in their gardens as fertilizer. There are lots of options!
I'm sorry but I have to ask. What happens if you use a flavored yogurt? Does it not work or does it give it a different flavor? Asking for a friend.....
It won't work. I've tried it.
Is vanilla yogurt okay to use as a starter?
Ideally it would be plain, but I've heard that other people have used flavored yogurt with success. It's up to you if you want to give it a try!
I’ve used vanilla yogurt as a starter and it worked just fine. (Make sure it has live cultures). When your yogurt is done, save some for your next batch and you won’t have to buy any it anymore .
My instant pot keeps showing “Lid” , it wont start without it,
If your Instant Pot model requires the lid to be on, you can take off/open the pressure regulator or remove the silicone ring to ensure that your yogurt doesn't come to pressure. I hope that works!
Cute cheeks!
A pint is 2 cups
What you are showing us is a 1:2 pint mason jar😵💫
16 minutes for something doesn’t take even 5 minutes
Very informative! But your face is too close to the camera.
Nuh uh. It needs to be closer. 😅
@@jimheath980 it’s as if i can feel her spit on my face 😂😂
Do you ever freeze your 2 T. Starter?
I think I have a baggie of starter in the freezer but I'm afraid it won't work since it's been a few months. 🫣
I have frozen it, but it hasn't ever lasted that long in my freezer. (My kids are big fans of yogurt!) Sorry I'm not much help!
@Homemaking with Joy thanks! We'll I might just have to buy a small cup of starer so I can make more yogurt soon. 😋
