Suggestions For The Choice Of Milk; Tips; Yogurt Recipe From The Chefs; Cleaning And Maintenance - Cuisinart YM350E Instructions

B. Suggestions for the choice of milk
Yogurt can be made from any milk, and you can use all types of
milk with your yogurt maker. The choice will thus depend directly
on your personal preferences.
1. Pasteurised milk of any fat content (rich in fat, %, 1%). This milk
is used most often and gives the best results.
. Powdered milk. This results in a firm yogurt, richer in calcium
and in proteins.
3. Long-life sterilised UHT milk. This results in a relatively firm yo-
gurt without skin.
4. Farm milk. It is advised that you boil this kind of milk before
using it to kill any harmful bacteria. If using goat or sheep milk,
the yogurt produced will not be as firm.
5. Soy milk. Make sure you use UHT soy milk that contains one of
the following ingredients: fructose, honey or malt. One of these
ingredients at least is absolutely necessary.
NOTE: The level of fat and solids in the milk directly affects the
flavour, texture and nutritional value of the final product. Also,
the firmest yogurt is the kind obtained with whole milk. It also
has more flavour, fat content and energy. Skimmed and semi-
skimmed milk result in more fluid yogurt.
C. Tips
• Yogurt made from whole milk will be creamier than that made
from semi-skimmed milk. Note: If you use skimmed milk, it won't
work!
• UHT milk can be used directly chilled.
• Fresh (farm) milk must be boiled for long enough before using.
Make sure you chill it (to about 43°C) before adding the ferment-
ing agents.
• You can keep the yogurt for between 7 and 10 days in your re-
frigerator, but it is better to eat it within four days of making it.
• People who have an allergy or an intolerance to cow milk can
use goat or soy milk. Goat milk is rich in proteins and easier to
digest.
D. Yogurt recipe from the chefs
• 1 l semi-skimmed milk
• 1 natural yogurt (preferably farm), about 140g
• Semi-skimmed powdered milk (amount:  pots from the farm
yogurt that you will be using)
Mix all the ingredients when cold, and then pour into the pots
provided. Place the pots in the yogurt maker and allow to cook for
9 hours. Cover the pots again with the lids and allow to chill for at
least four hours in the refrigerator before eating.
