Disinfecting Containers; Preparing Yoghurt - Miele DG 4164 Operating Instructions Manual

Disinfecting containers

The steam oven will disinfect baby
bottles and other containers so that at
the end of the programme they are as
germ free as they would have been had
they been boiled. Check beforehand
that all parts, teats etc. are declared by
the manufacturer to be heat resistant to
100 °C and also that they can withstand
hot steam.
^ Dismantle, clean and thoroughly
rinse baby bottles. Place the
individual parts in a perforated
cooking container, ensuring that they
do not touch one another. Cover the
cooking container with the tray or the
lid.
^ Select Steam without pressure
P100 °C.
^ Set and confirm a duration of
15 minutes.
All parts of the bottles must be
completely dry before they are
reassembled to keep them germ free.

Preparing yoghurt

^ To prepare yoghurt you will need
100 g yoghurt (with live culture) and
1 litre of milk. The yoghurt and milk
should have the same percentage fat
content.
You can either use unchilled long-life
milk or fresh milk. Fresh milk will,
however, give a better set. If using
fresh milk it should first be heated up to
90°C (do not boil it), and then left to
cool.
^ Mix the yoghurt and the milk together
and then pour the mixture into 6 or 7
portion sized glass jars or special
yoghurt jars. Seal the jars.
^ Place the jars in a perforated
container, ensuring that they do not
touch one another.
^ Select Steam without pressure P
and reduce the recommended
temperature to 40 °C.
^ Set a duration of 5 hours.
Allow the yoghurt to cool and then
place in the refrigerator. It will not
achieve its maximum set until it has
been thoroughly chilled.
