Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 18h10m

Yield 8 cups yogurt

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 cups whole milk, cold
1 tablespoon freshly opened whole-milk Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Pour the milk in a 6-quart Instant Pot® and put on yogurt setting. Press the adjust setting to boil (see Cook's Note). Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. After the boil cycle is complete follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid.
  • Stir the milk and check the temperature using an instant-read thermometer. The milk must reach a temperature of at least 180 degrees F. If the milk is not yet hot enough, repeat the boil cycle until the milk comes up to the correct temperature.
  • Remove the pot insert and allow the milk to cool until it reaches a temperature of 110 to 115 degrees F. (To speed up this process, place pot in an ice water bath and stir, being careful not to get any water into the milk.) Place 1/2 cup of the milk in a small bowl and stir in the store-bought yogurt until combined. Stir the yogurt mixture back into the milk mixture in the pot.
  • Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Put on the yogurt setting and set the time for 9 to 12 hours (9 for a looser, milder yogurt and 12 for a thicker, tarter yogurt).
  • Remove the lid (there will be no pressure, so no pressure release is required). Carefully remove the yogurt and transfer to resealable containers.
  • Refrigerate until completely chilled and set, about 4 hours.

2 litres (½ gallon) Fairlife ultra-filtered whole milk
2 tablespoons (32g) yogurt with active bacterial cultures

Steps:

  • Optional Preparation - Sterilize Equipment: Place 2 cups cold water + trivet in Instant Pot.

Close lid (Venting Knob position doesn't matter).Yogurt Incubation: Press the Yogurt Button & use the Yogurt Normal Function to incubate the yogurt. Adjust incubation time to 8:30 hours - 12:30 hours depending on how tangy you like your yogurt. You can open the lid for a taste test once the yogurt is set (roughly 6.5 hours).*Pro Tips:i) Longer incubation time = tangier yogurtii) The timer will count up instead of count down when the incubating process beginsiii) Don't disrupt the fermentation process by moving the Instant Pot or opening the lid. Wait until yogurt is set (roughly 6:30 hours) before opening the lid.
  • Stop the Incubation Process: Once the yogurt has reached your desired tangy level, remove the inner pot of yogurt and place it in the fridge for a few hours to stop the incubation process. The yogurt will also thicken a little. Now (or before serving) is a good time to mix in flavorings.
  • Optional - Strain Yogurt: If you prefer a thicker yogurt, use a Yogurt Strainer to strain the yogurt.*Pro Tip: the longer you strain = the thicker the yogurt becomes.1 Hour - about 1.5 cup (375ml) of whey will separate from 2L of yogurt2 Hours - about 2.5 cups (625ml) of whey will separate from 2L of yogurtOvernight - about 4 cups (902ml) of whey will separate from 2L of yogurt. You will have a little over 1L of Greek yogurt after straining overnight.

Tips:

  • Use Whole Milk: Whole milk produces the thickest and creamiest skyr, but you can use 1%, 2%, or skim milk if you prefer.
  • Use Fresh Cultures: For the best results, use fresh skyr or yogurt cultures. You can find these cultures online or at some health food stores.
  • Incubate at the Right Temperature: Skyr needs to be incubated at a warm temperature between 86°F and 95°F (30°C and 35°C) for 12-24 hours. You can use an Instant Pot or a yogurt maker to maintain the correct temperature.
  • Strain the Skyr: After the skyr has incubated, it needs to be strained to remove the whey. You can use a cheesecloth-lined colander or a yogurt strainer.
  • Chill the Skyr: Once the skyr has been strained, it needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before eating. This will help it to thicken and develop its full flavor.
