Best Container Options for Making 1 Quart of Yogurt in an Instant Pot

[papruss]

In the liner. I think 4 pint jars will fit.

Use the cold start yogurt recipe in the liner. Then repackage.

I make it right in the pot letting it brew over night

 

[emmalove]

Straight in the pot.

I use jam and jelly jars. Double stack with loose lids with 1 cup of water in the liner. Set on yogurt for 11 to 12 hours, remove from pot, tighten lids, dry jars and put in the fridge.

I make mine in the pot with the sealing ring out and the top on. Transfer to strain

I have always used the linner pot until my husband did a batch in jelly jars, so much less work to store the yogurt.

 

[fredjames007]

I use 4 old spaghetti sauce jars… 4 holds the exact amount of Ripple I use for a batch of yogurt… and I can still close the lid with the vent open for the 12 hour incubation time. I love no cleanup after )

 

[csmom08]

I use the pot of the Instant Pot.

 

[hunter48]

You could use pint jars instead

 

[fuelbuddy]

I use the liner and after it refrigerates for desired tim , I unit in containers

 

[dreamers]

What about 2 pint jars? 

 

[rushingjohn]

I make it directly in the pot. Strain it and add to pint mason jars

I use the oui containers. I’ve saved them for a while and I bought lids from Amazon.

@jos56fed do you know if the pottery jars that LaFermière yogurt is sold in can be used as well? I have about 6 of those.

 

[jos56fed]

@elsieba I don’t see why not. It’s not pressure cooking so most vessels should be safe. I use a trivet to keep the heat off the direct bottom though

 

[elsieba]

@jos56fed thanks

I make mine (with full fat milk) in a tall cylindrical stainless steel container I bought at The Container Store, uncovered, that barely fits in the IP heightwise and lets the lid close. Afterwards I put that in the fridge to really gel, then leave it there, lightly covered, spooning out whatever I need and sweetening and perhaps flavoring each serving.

 

[hokiedad]

I use the pot and then a different vessel

 

[sweeti4you]

Make it in a clean dry pot liner.
