Well, after I cracked my crock pot making yogurt, I decided I shouldn’t do that again, so I had to decide what to do. I used to have a little yogurt maker, but it died after fifteen years or so. I decided to step into the 21st century. I got an Instant Pot with a yogurt setting.
I was really pleased to find out it also has a setting to pasteurize the milk, so I don’t have to do that on the stove top in a double boiler.
It made the process super easy and way less cleanup. It’s big enough to hold the entire gallon. I think this was a good option. It can also be used as a slow cooker (to replace the one I broke). And I won’t break it by plunging the stainless steel pot into a sink of cold water!
Now I’m back to making yogurt to force on my family.
