Step 1

Pour the milk into your instant pot.

Step 2

Press the yogurt function key. Press the adjust button and set to BOIL.

Step 3

Close the lid but don't bother to seal it. We are not working under pressure.

Step 4

Once the instant pot chimes to tell you it's done remove the lid. Let the yogurt cool to 115 degrees F. (this will take some time. Set it your fridge an hour. Set the timer and check it.

Step 5

When the milk is cooled to around 115 degrees F. add your yogurt starter and whisk it into the milk.

Step 6

Set the lid on the instant pot and press the yogurt function. Press the yogurt button until the control panel show a time.

Step 7

Press the adjust key until you find the time that best works for you. (I usually use from 8 to 16 hours)

Step 8

Let the instant pot sit until the timer dings or you are ready to check your yogurt. Jiggle the pan a bit to make sure its set. Add more time if you want your yogurt more set.

Step 9

Your yogurt is now ready to eat BUT IT IS NOT GREEK STYLE YET.

Step 10

GREEK STYLE: You must strain the yogurt through a cloth until it thickens for the Greek yogurt style.

Step 11

Let the yogurt strain several hours to all day to thickness you prefer.

Step 12

The more you strain it the more lactose you remove. If you strain it long enough it will go to a soft cheese texture.

Step 13

Scoop the greek yogurt out of the strainer.

Step 14

Pour the whey into a mason jar and store in fridge. (Whey is useful for baking breads and making greek yogurt pancakes)
