CLEAN COMPONENTS BEFORE USE!

Maintenance

  1. Before cleaning, unplug the appliance.
  2. Clean the base and the cover with a damp cloth and avoid abrasives.
  3. Do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.
  4. All part must be hand washed.

Before First Time Use

  1. Remove any labels or stickers from appliance.
  2. After periods of prolonged storage, thoroughly wash the cover, glass jar, and lids in warm, soapy water. Then rinse and dry them completely.
  3. Wipe the inside of Yogurt Maker with a damp cloth.

Instructions For Use

  1. You will need the following utensils: a high sided saucepan, a pitcher, thermometer (provided), and a whisk.
  2. Ensure all these utensils are thoroughly washed with soapy warm water, rinse and dry before starting to make yogurt.
  3. To make yogurt, pour 2 Quarts (equal to 2 Liters) of fresh, pasteurized milk (use either whole milk, skimmed, semi-skimmed, or alternative milk) into a high-sided saucepan.
  4. Heat the milk to 180°F/82°C or until you see the milk bubbling on the side of your saucepan. Do not overheat as the texture of your yogurt will become grainy.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the milk to cool to lukewarm (110°F/43°C). To accelerate the cooling down process, place the saucepan in cold water.

6. Stir in one cup of plain yogurt with live active culture with 16 oz. of lukewarm milk in a separate bowl until the yogurt is dissolved and you have a smooth mixture. Once the yogurt is completely dissolved, empty contents back into the rest of the lukewarm milk and mix well (The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. If you use the homemade yogurt or purchased from the store, please repeat only 1 time.)

6A. Euro Cuisine Freeze-dried Yogurt Starter can be used instead of yogurt. Pour one double package (6 grams) of starter into a cup and gradually add 6-7 tablespoons of lukewarm milk. Once the starter is completely dissolved, empty contents into the rest of the lukewarm milk and mix well.

  1. Pour the mixture into the 2 Quart (equal to 2 Liters) glass jar of the yogurt maker.
  2. Cover the yogurt glass jar with its lid.
  3. Place the glass jar into the yogurt maker.
  4. Cover the yogurt maker with its clear cover.

To Operate

  1. Plug the Yogurt Maker into the electrical outlet. The display will briefly show '8888', and then it will show 'C-1' (default program).
  2. Press the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons to switch between the two programs.

When you have selected your desired program, press the SET button on either C-1 or C-2. SET

A. If you have selected C-1, the display will show 110°F, which is the ideal temperature for making yogurt. Press the SET button again and the display will show '08H'. Press the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons to set the time between 8-12 hours. In the C-1 program, the temperature is set to 110°F and cannot be changed.

1A. To start the program (C-1), press the POWER button and the power light will illuminate. The display will show the hours, which will count down until your yogurt is ready. Do not move the Yogurt Maker once it is switched on. When the cycle has finished, the display will show '00h' and the power light will go out.

2A. If you want to cancel the Yogurt Maker mid-cycle, press the Power button and the program 'C-1' will show on the display. You can then reset the Yogurt Maker again.

3A. When the cycle completes, remove the plug from the electrical outlet.

4A. Water may condense on the clear lid of the yogurt maker.

5A. To stop the incubation process, remove the yogurt glass jar from the yogurt maker base and place it in the refrigerator for about 8 hours before serving, or until the yogurt has cooled.

Allowing the yogurt to cool down will also help the yogurt to become firmer.

B. If you have selected C-2, the display will flash '110°F'. Press the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons to set the temperature between 78°F to 132°F in single degrees. You can press and hold the buttons to move quickly through the temperatures.

(warning Note: Due to differences in programming between Fahrenheit and Celsius, the displayed temperature may not exactly match the desired temperature in Fahrenheit. In such cases, you can select a temperature that is 1 degree higher or lower than your target temperature.) When the temperature is selected, press the SET button again. The display will flash '08H'. Press the INCREASE and DECREASE buttons to set the time between 1-99 hours.

1B. To start the program (C-2), press the POWER button and the power light will illuminate. The display will show the hours, which will count down until your yogurt is ready. Do not move the Yogurt Maker once it is switched on. When the cycle has finished, the display will show '00h' and the power light will go out.

Allowing the yogurt to cool down will also help the yogurt to become firmer.

THE YOGURT MAKER SHOULD REMAIN PERFECTLY STILL DURING THE MATURING PROCESS. DO NOT MOVE THE APPLIANCE, REMOVE THE GLASS JAR, OR EITHER OF THE LIDS AS THIS WILL AFFECT THE FIRMNESS OF THE YOGURT.

Choosing The Milk

The following types of milk may be used:

  1. Pasteurized milk of any fat content (full, 2%, 1% or fat-free).
  2. Powdered milk.
  3. Long-life UHT (Ultra High Temperature) sterilized milk.
  4. Soy Milk. Be sure to use UHT plain soy milk which contains one of the following ingredients: fructose, honey, malt, or high sugar content. These ingredients are necessary for fermentation and you will not succeed if none are available in the milk.
  5. You can achieve making yogurt with plain Almond, Coconut, Rice, Soy Milk, and Lactose Free Milk. Please choose the type that is in the non-refrigerated section of your supermarket (except lactose-free milk that can be from the refrigerated section of the supermarket) and make sure that there is at least 6 grams per serving of sugar in the milk. Your milk should be plain with no flavoring. Sugar is food for the bacteria. If not enough then add sugar or pasteurized honey to it. Follow the same instruction as for the regular milk. Please note that with this type of milk you might get water separation. The water in the milk becomes the whey and the solid become the yogurt. You can either top off the whey or mix it for softer yogurt.

Recipes

The Euro-Cuisine yogurt maker can be used to make different types of yogurt.

Unflavored Yogurt

The taste and texture of yogurt varies according to the milk and yogurt starter selected. Yogurt may be made with milk of any fat content, even nonfat milk. You should experiment with milk of various fat contents to determine which you prefer.

Flavoring Yogurt After Cooking

You may choose to make flavored yogurt and add sugar, honey, flavorings, fruit, or other ingredients to taste just prior to eating.

Instructions For Making Greek Yogurt & Yogurt Cheese

  1. Make a batch of plain yogurt with your Euro Cuisine Yogurt Maker. It is important that you do not add any gelatin to your mixture while preparing to make yogurt.
  2. After your yogurt is made, soak your specially designed cotton straining bag in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes prior to use. Remove bag from water and place in a bowl to cool.
  3. Fill the cotton bag with up to 2 quarts of yogurt and pull cord to close.
  4. Hang the cotton bag over a bowl or sink for approximately 6-8 hours or until Greek yogurt or cheese reaches desired consistency. During the process, liquid (whey) will drip out of the bag. As more whey is separated from the yogurt, the thicker the Greek yogurt/yogurt cheese will become.
  5. Remove the Greek yogurt/yogurt cheese from the cotton bag, season to preference, and enjoy.
  6. Both Greek yogurt and/or yogurt cheese should be refrigerated.
