Okay. ALRIGHT. I caved. You've all been asking for me to make a yogurt video so I FINALLY did it.
But I figured if I'm gonna make a yogurt video, it's gotta be done to show how you can do it TWO WAYS: Regular (unstrained & creamy) and Greek (strained & thick)! And no having to pre-boil any milk and buy a candy thermometer here - we're doing this the best and easiest way: the cold start method.
And honestly guys, I'm not sure why I waited so long. It's THE EASIEST THING EVER, absolutely amazing AND WAY CHEAPER than buying it in the store! This is literally one of the most amazing features your DUO or Ultra Instant Pots have!
*NOTE: Frieda Franchina claims to have coined the phrase "Cold Start". So I will credit her on the name of that method.

I use normal pasturised milk (no boil) and it works wonderfully!!! Lasts for up to 4 weeks in the fridge!
Also.......strained it makes the best creamy yogurt cheese ever. Just line a square container with cheesecloth pour in the strained creamy goodness to the rim, fold the cloth closed, pop the lid on and let it sit in the fridge for 5-7 days!!! No need to buy cream cheese anymore.....this stuff is awesome!!!
I make yogurt once a week - although I personally do the 'boil method' - sterilizing the pot, bringing the milk up to boil, cooling, then adding the yogurt starter, incubate for 10 hours, chill undisturbed for 6, strain (same strainer) for about 3 hours. It's a longer process by a few hours, but so worth it. Fairlife milk is $$$. And out of each batch of non-sweetened yogurt, I freeze my own 1 TBSP starter cubes and keep those in a container in the freezer. I haven't bought yogurt in 2 years!
Karen Lombardi / reg milk is better then fair life. It’s almost $4 for 1/2 gallon. I’ve recently tried it and it’s not as good as the traditional way. The whey doesn’t even come out yellow with fair life. I keep the whey and use it as my starter. Fair life also needs to sit for 12 hours to get the tangy Greek flavor. I also used the condensed milk in it. Wasn’t a fan. To each his own.
At what point do you freeze the 2-3 tablespoon? Like right after the instapot incubates 8-10hrs or after you strain and leave it in the refrigerator for a few hour?
When it's completely strained to my liking, I transfer it all into a designated yogurt container - THEN I pull my Tablespoons to freeze. After they freeze, I pop them into zip bags and into a sealed container. I thaw them out in a measuring cup that I set into a dish of warm water while I get my yogurt started. Don't microwave it!
I've never even tried Fairlife ... because all they have at my market is Chocolate anyway! I never thought of using the whey for starter ... I'll give that a try too! And I'm with you about the sweet ... I like it plain, with honey and fruit, I've used flavored syrups for a changeup, use it on potatoes, and my famous banana bread :)
Karen Lombardi why waste your actual edible yogurt when you can use the whey? Whey stays in the fridge for 6 months or you can freeze it. Most people dump the whey but it’s good for smoothies, gardening, making breads. You don’t need to waste any of the milk when making yogurt. I’d never buy yogurt again. I’m single and I make it 2 times a week. I also make Kiefer. It has 3 times The probiotics then yogurt and it’s easier. It’s a little weird at first with the separation but no tools needed. Just the grains. No cooking, it just sits and it’s sooooo healthy. The amazing things God provided us naturally for cents. ✨🙏✨
My mom had been battling a post operative infection. I made your Greek Yogurt (fantastic BTW) and since her doctor said my mom should really up her intake of protein for wound healing, I gave her the whey from my straining of my yogurt. She is doing really great now her infection is almost gone and her wound is healing nicely. She uses the whey in her smoothies every morning. And, she loves the yogurt too. She say's it's the best she has ever had. Thanks, Jeff!!
Jeff, I made the unstrained yogurt, It came out perfect and it is the best yogurt I haven ever eaten in my life! Thank you for the awesome videos.
I’ve been wanting to make yogurt in this thing for a while. Now you have given me the motivation to do so. Thank you and I’ll do an update to let you know how turns out.
I can't tell you how often I come back to your recipe!!! Hope you are well during this difficult time. Thank you for inspiring me to experiment in the kitchen!!
I am making my very first batch as we speak, boil method. When I put it in to incubate, I set it for 9 hrs. The timer started counting up, wasn’t expecting that and was confused. I ran to you tube and looked you up and was reassured that my pot is working properly. Thanks so much for the video and instructions!
If you invert the strainer on the inside of the lid( minus the bottom container) it will pop out like a Jell-O mold. If you keep the whey and add berries or bananas or what ever, it makes a great health smoothie!
Your recipe is great, from a girl who does not care for yogurt I love it so does my family. Just made my 3rd batch. My strainer cane in this morning and now I am making the Greek. Thank you, I love my pot and looking forward to making your dip. And checking your other recipes. Thank you a pleasure to listen to.
We love our instant pot because of you, therefore we have named our instant pot "Jeffrey" in your honor. Your videos are perfect. Our Jeffery recently made gumbo and it was the best ever. Thanks so much.
You think you can’t just steal peoples names huh?
Lol I think naming you Instant Pot Jeffrey is genius.
haha thats funny
maybe will name the 3 qt Mutt and the 6 qt Jeff
Good idea I'll called mine the same name!
Love that idea! I named mine R2D2, bc I love the cute sound it makes when you put the lid on.
I just made the regular yogurt and it is absolutely perfect and SO delicious! I think it is one of the most yummy things I've made in my IP! Thanks Jeff!
Got the strainer you mentioned, thank you. I prefer whole milk but would rather have milk direct from the source because it tastes better than homogenized pasteurized stuff from the stores. In the dark of the morning before breakfast in the sub zero weather I'd trudge cup the road to the barns and find the milk cow waiting to enter the milking parlour. I'd pout some feed in her manger, clean her udder band tie her tail down to keep from being swatted as stuff thawed, sitting on an one legged stool I'd begin milking. The feral barn cats would line up along the wall behind the cow waiting to be squirted with milk. I'd usually fill 2 pails. I'd bury forehead in her flank where it was nice and warm. I'd lug the full pails back to the houseman taking them to a cold room where there was a large tank with a conical bottom and a glass tube on the side of it with a spigot on the bottom. The cream would float to the top so that the milk could poured off. What was not drunk or used for cooking was fed to the chickens and slopped to the pig. Cream was used for tea and grandma's coffee and churned. It was also sold to the local creamery along with eggs that were candled before taken to town. All of our cattle were tested by a vet so there was little danger of disease. All of the milking was done before and after the schoolbus. In the winter I never saw my home in daylight but we could see the Aurora Borealis.
Gene Park I LOVE this tale, Gene! Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful life!❤
Gene Park I remember that cold milk as it ran over the ice thing into a milk can . So cold ,sooo delicious. My mom didn’t have a butter churn, so she used a clean mason jar, and the butter was soo good on fresh baked bread. Better then cake 🍰 . My dad worked on dairy’s back in the 1940’s .my happiest memories were in those times ,playing in the alfalfa fields ,and the wonderful smell of the alfalfa freshly cut. And also the cats and kittens Waiting for the squirt of milk, me too ! And the sweet taste of the bran right out of the “gunnysack “ ! Even though the world was in turmoil ,a child has sunshiny days and peaceful nights ,if they are lucky ,I was lucky ! Blessed Be every precious child no matter who or where they are on this planet !👱🏿♀️👩👳🏿♀️🧕🏼👦👶👩🏽🦳👱🏿♀️👩🏻🦰👩🏻🦲we are all one family , Mankind ! So be kind to one another . Blessing and love to all. And treat your pets good and all other creatures on this Earth .👍👍👍👍👍🦋🌈👵🏻🐶👩🏻🦰🖖👽💕
How beautiful! Thank you for sharing Gene:)
Geez...write a book about it all !! You are an amazing story teller. I felt the cold...I laughed at the kitties...like I was lookin over your shoulder ! Thank you...I miss the country...😢
I made regular yogurt over the weekend using your method and it was delicious! Thanks Jeff! Love your videos.
Made this yesterday and just sampled it (the sweet version) and its utterly delicious x Thank you for yet another great recipe x
OMG! Thank you! This is the best recipe! It's so easy for making Greek Yogurt! I use the Noosa plain it comes out creamy every time!
I've fallen in love with Greek yogurt and Amazon has a good deal on the IP Duo today. Thx for posting.
I followed your recipe for regular yogurt, Jeffery and it is so yummy!!!!! Thanks!
Jeffery, you are a hoot and a half! Thank you for all your encouragement, your orange and blue “Instant Pot Bibles” and just being fun to watch and learn from!
ty so much for caving on your yogurt stance :D I stopped buying yogurt at the grocery store when they started sweetening with frankenstein sweeteners. I absolutely love the idea of using condensed milk as a sweetener :)
I just made my first yogurt rule of thumb never do a gallon of milk now I gave a gallon of yogurt 😂
LMAO
Our house can go through that much in a week, lol make some frozen yogurt maybe??
frenchie girl in the usa 😂
LOL 😂
I always make a gallon because we strain a lot of the whey out to make Greek yogurt. It reduces by almost half
Wow this is awesome I had no idea you could make yogurt like this, so cool!!
Thank you!! You make learning how to use my new IP fun and relatively easy!! You are very watchable and welcoming!
Thanks for this demonstration. My first try wasn’t successful but you give me hope. Lol. I love your videos.
Im making yogurt for the first time using your recipe. My housemates and I are excited!!!
Tried your recipe for the "regular" yogurt. Omgosh! I followed each step and it came out perfect. There is no comparison with store bought. I will never buy yogurt from a store again. ❤❤
Yeah I got an instapot and I am excited to make this! Love your recipes!❤️🌻🌷
Thanks for making the video I am so excited in making homemade yogurt. My grandmother used to make homemade yogurt the old fashion method. Now I have an instant pot can't wait to make it next weekend. I love fairlife it has more protein than reg milk.
Jeffrey Thank you for this yogurt video i am a Diabetic and i like to have homemade quick healthy easy recipes and i love yogurt but it's expensive
so thank you for this recipe i really appreciate it.
Love your videos. thanks so much you really helped me figure out what kind i like the best. I have already made the one with sweetened condensed and love , but I think I may leave it out the next time cause I don't need the added sugar.
Thank you. Very informative. Can't wait to make it in my Ultra. The creamy version!
No matter who they are we are all one family , The Family of Mankind ! Blessed Be .Happy Holidays And a fantastic New year !!🎉🎊
Hi Jeff, and thank you! I made the regular yogurt this way last night. Divine. Maybe too good! I'll certainly never buy it at the store again. Love your videos.
Just made this as the video instructs. It came out perfectly and I have a strainer like Jeff's en route. I will make Greek yogurt next.
I made the one using the condensed milk. It is the best yogurt ever. Not too sweet but just right. Made homemade granola for it and it is great! Thanks. Love all of your videos. Got my Granddaughter hooked on the instant pot and you too. My Granddaughter is ordering the strainer to do Greek. (I used Fage Greek yogurt)
Still my favorite. Simple and DELICIOUS! Thanks again. I freeze 1/2 because I live alone and the sweetened one thaws exactly like when it was first made. Some say the texture changes but not mine maybe the condensed milk?
Thanks! I've made yogurt before, but never the easy way you have shown. I've never tried the Fairlife milk, but I'm going to. The creamy yogurt looks so yummy!
Turned out perfect!
Thanks! I had no idea you could make yogurt without heating the milk up and cooling it down before you added the yogurt starter. Thanks! I have that yogurt strainer, it works great. I have lined it with coffee filters, it makes getting the strained yogurt out a bit easier without hurting the fine mesh.
Very good video! Clear directions and easy to watch!
Brewing as I type. Can’t wait to try tomorrow!
Turned out amazing and mild. Nothing like you buy in stores .
So enjoyed watching your video. Very informative and so simply explained. Thank you for sharing.
I made this last night!! Added condensed milk!! YUMMY - Thanks Jeffrey
Great video, I got a couple of different things from it we always have here sweetened condensed milk to make flan. I also enjoyed seeing that yogurt strainer I'm going to get one of those I can also use that for when I make my pot cheese that is a cheese that is in between Cottage cheese and farmers cheese you could use it for desserts for regular dinner dishes, my favorite macaroni and pot cheese. Happy New Year!
Thank you for your detailed videos!! You are awesome!! My type of thinking. Again, thank you, you are inspiring me to use my IP, as soon as it comes.
Just got my Ultra. WhooHoo
I'm making this today. It's cooking now.
Fingers crossed 😊
Jeff I love all your videos!! Love my IP and love yogurt so I can’t wait to make it just like you showed us. Not sure about the sweetened condensed milk as I’m trying to avoid sugar so what about adding Stevia drops instead? Thank you so much. You’ve taught me everything I needed to know about using my IP. And, all your recipes are the best. 😍
Best video on instant pot yogurt. So many others were incomplete.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This totally fixed my Greek yogurt game 👌😁
Made yogurt using your recipe, it is fantastic. Will do it again.
I tried to condense yogurt, it so good. I eat for breakfast with my oatmeal. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Please, please, please make more recipes in the Ultra pot!!!!
Thank you :-)
I love when he said "what can't it do!? Well it can't do my taxes!!" This is video help inspire me! Thanks for posting!
Thanks Jeff and Happy New Year, tc. HoppyBob
i just bought a IP Duo 6 quart from Amazon Prime Day. Your Yogurt recipe is the 2nd. thing I'm making today and doing over night as you did. Only I'm using Almond Milk instead. I'll be adding the Stevia sweetner in the morning. I want to Thank You for making this video, all the others are boiling the milk first, which I thought was totally unnecessary. I priced Almond Milk Yogurt at my SuperValu and it was $1.59 per 5 oz. container. The IP will pay for itself in Almond Milk Yogurt itself!!
Thanks for showing me how to make yogurt. I appreciate it
Very good video, very clear and straight to the point
This is so good the yogurt with the condensed milk. love it i made it with regular milk. warmed the milk up to 35 celsius en bam my yogurt was ready in the morning.
Thank you for the video, I just got my Ultra Duo, 6QT today and once it's done with the water test I'm making this yogurt. I have the Light Free Fairlife Milk instead of the Whole Milk but eh. Looking forward to having some of this yogurt tomorrow morning. No plans in cooking in the IP today besides yogurt so I'll be doing that.
Can you link to that strainer? Thanks for the tutorial! I've been considering making my own yogurt but hadn't worked up the nerve yet.
Made this yesterday and ate some today, this is fabulous! Thanks for the instructions!
Hey Jeff, how ya doing? I just made your yogurt recipe in my IP. Wow, I will never buy store bought again. It was fabuloso! I will be making the Greek style also. Thanks to you I love my Instant Pot and all your recipes. Keep up the good work. And ignore the haters who make stupid remarks about your music and repeating. I love you:))
love the simplicity of your method...some of the other videos I've checked make it look like rocket science...
Sounds easy. I’m gonna have to try that. We love yogurt and eat it all the time. Thanks for sharing. And yogurt is getting expensive.
Good video with two options for yogurt. Thank you.
Hi,just found your video and it's amazing I just have a tiny question about the creamy yogurt, after it cooks do you have to keep it in the pot covered in foil or can it be transferred in a smaller container then rest in the fridge? Thank you in advance
Greek yogurt is also great for baked potatoes instead of sour cream.
Debra Graham Good to know.
Thanks! I got more relevant information from your video than the official Instant Pot video. The only additional information it included was a way to incubated the yogurt in glass jars. It involves an additional step, but only adds an additional 1 minute cook time.
Thank you so much for doing this video. It was so interesting but I don't have any desire to do it myself!
Oh Christie, you should give it a shot, at least once. His method is really simple, and you won't believe how much better homemade yoghurt tastes.
People please leave his music alone, his video's are great, if you don't like the music, just tune it out. He has so much good information. and very plesant. Love you Jeffrey
To tell you the truth I didn't even realize there was music until you pointed it out, Jeff has good taste in music sounds like light piano jazz. I guess I was just so tuned in on Jeff's instructions, but yeah you people leave the music alone!
Im a collector of gadgets ..already got lots of electric pressure cookers slowcooker etc which I use everyday. I make my own yoghurt and dont mind improve everything and this instant pot have my undivided attention..what make is it as I surely gonna want one for yoghurt.
The fact of multi using makes it the more attractive.
I enjoy the vid so much
Beginning 25+ years ago, I would purchase plain Dannon yogurt and place it in a cheesecloth "bag" to strain the whey. Used it for potato casseroles, etc. Then Greek yogurt came along... I will try your method, with my new IP, but may use the cheesecloth, as before. Thanks!
I bought an Instant Pot three weeks ago, and made yogurt in it using full-fat milk. Just put it on the Yogurt setting on High, and it will boil the milk for you to 180 F. Then remove the bowl to a cold ice bath and stir until it reaches 110 F. Then stir in your culture starter yogurt, and put the pot back into the Instant Pot. Hit Yogurt button again, but this time on the Normal setting. Set the time for 8 to 10 hours, and it works perfectly ❤
Hi Jeffrey. I made the regular yogurt yesterday and had some this morning. Yummy! Can the Greek yogurt also be flavored with the sweetened condensed milk? Would you still do it for 10 hours? BTY it is way better than any store-bought yogurt I've ever had. Thanks.
Good video, and both yogurts looks delicious.
When I was in Greece I bought a yogurt thinking it would be like most of the American tangy yogurts I have tasted, but the Greek yogurt was super thick and NO tangy flavor. It was the most delicious yogurt I have ever tasted. The many Greek style yogurts I have since then tasted in America don’t taste anything like the yogurt I tasted in Greece. Greek yogurts in America aren’t as delicious as the yogurt I had while vacationing In Greece. Hopefully, when I make Greek style yogurt at home it will taste as delicious as the Greek yogurt in Greece. 👍
Did you try it?
I've made yogurt about 10 times. It always came out great. I'm going to try it with
Fairlife milk. It will cut out 2 steps (heating milk and cooling it to temp). I have the
same strainer, it works great. Be gentle with it when cleaning it. Will comment on how
it came out. I'll be making it tomorrow. Thanks Jeff
Made it with Fairlife milk. Results were fantastic.
I like doing the cold start, less hassle. Don't have
to heat and cool milk.
Love the recipe. Nothing better then homemade Yogurt! I would love to see you try making a dairy free coconut yogurt using the IP :)
Me to. I cant have dairy products, even lactose free stuff bothers me
Nice!! Thanks for this video!!
I have found that making it homemade and using no sugar, it is not as tangy or as sour than store bought. much more enjoyable to me
Hello, can yogurt starter be stored in the freezer? I was thinking about putting two tbsp of starter in tiny containers and storing in the freezer so I always have it. That way if I don't want to make yogurt within two weeks I don't have to buy a whole container of starter yogurt. PS Fairlife milk is now available in Canada. Thank you for the wonderful videos!
I don't even have an instant pot and I have watched 2 of your videos now. I am definitely going to get one though. Maybe not today, but it will happen.
I haven't tried the cold start method yet but now I will. That strainer you are using for Greek yogurt, could it be used to clarify stocks or broths too? Or would you avoid using it for yogurt and broth?
Can I add sweetened condensed milk to the boil method yogurt? Unfortunately my Lux doesn't have the yogurt button so I have to do the boil method which is no big deal, I was just more curious as to if i could add the sweetened condensed milk or not.
Love yogurt, would love to try your amazing recipes, Do you have a link where I can purchase the yogurt strainer from, Thanks for sharing 😀❤️😀
Can Fairlife milk with DHA Omega-3 added be used to make yogurt? Thanks.
great vid...i'll have to try both of these.
Hi Jeff...does it have to be WHOLE MILK Yogurt for the starter? Also could I use alittle Bliss Creamer along with the can of Sweetened Condensed milk to make it even alittle more sweeter ?
We love your UA-cam Channel and your recipes.Keep up the good work. I have used both of the yogurt recipes and like them both. I have found the one that calls for sweetened condensed milk a little sweet for my taste. Using the same recipe, could I cut the condensed by half and still have great results? Thanks so much!
I used half a can of condensed milk and it turned out really good.
Hi, I love your videos, thank you!! I have a question, I have an Instant Pot Air Fryer + EPC Combo 8QT Electronic Pressure Cooker; what setting do I use for yogurt, then?
Question: Id like to use some of the homemade yogurt as a starter for my next batch. However, if I add the sweetened condensed milk before making the yogurt, obviously the finished product will not be plain anymore. Will this cause any undesirable effects if you used this sweetened yogurt as a started for the next batch?
I have made your creamy yogurt and love it. But in watching this again, am wondering if you can add say 1/3 of the condensed milk to the greek yogurt just to give it a little sweetness. Will it still turn out thicker? I like greek yogurt because of the thickness but usually have to add something sweet to it so that it isn't so bland.
Making my first patch of the regular yogurt with the sweetened condensed milk tonight before bed. looking forward to how it turns out tomorrow!! Although I was wondering how much does this make and will taste good with pie filling?
I think it’s delicious with cherry pie filling.
can i use the yogurt i just made for the starter as my next batch?
Yummy it looks so good!!!!
Once the yogurt cycle is finished, is it alright to pour it into jars before letting it set in the refrigerator? Or, is it necessary to put it into the fridge immediately when finished?
Would the one with sweetened condensed milk be good with Caramelized sweetened condensed milk? And, would it be ok to add vanilla to the sweet one at the beginning?
Loved this video!!!
Great video. Tanks. I was wondering what if I wanted to do a Cashew or Almond yougurt? Would it be the same way?
Great video! What if your Instant Pot does not have a yogurt setting. Is it possible to do manually?
I made the sweetened condensed milk version and it set in fridge overnight. I just went to transfer it to another container and the SCM separated or settled. I had to mix it all together but now it is super runny. Any suggestions?
i love your videos they are easy and funny. keep doing what your doing great job take care and have a good night. you should write a easy instant pot cookbook and please add some kosher recipes. thanks again bye for now
Freeze the whey in an ice cube tray and then empty into a plastic freezer bag. Do the same with stocks.
