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

[onochie]

I either make it straight in it. Use 8, 8oz jars and make sure to put one cup of water in the liner. Or I mix in a bowl that fit inside cover it and make sure you put one cup of water in outer liner.

I make it directly in the liner. I use Frieda Loves Bread’s cold start method.

I make it directly in the inner pot then transfer to storage containers after it has been in fridge for at least 8 hours. Do not stir as this breaks protein bonds and releases the whey

 

[zeuqajwerdna]

I use glass jars (mason or recycled). In 8+ years of weekly batches I’ve never put water in the bottom. Directly into the fridge they go. I have a tiny jar I use for the starter so it’s never contaminated. Easy.

I boil and inoculate mine in the pot and put into pint jars to do their thing

 

[zorak]

I make mine in the pot. I have 2 rings and 2 liners. 1 for savory and 1 for sweet.

 

[wordfuzion]

I use the regular liner. Works great. I have a ring I use only for yogurt.

@wordfuzion you don't need the ring or lid for yogurt. Just a glass lid or plate

 

[labloomer]

Just make it in the metal pan and scoop it into your jar afterwards.

Directly in the pot

A 3 quart liner for pot in pot in the 6 or 8 quart instant pot fits perfectly.

I couldn't handle the weight if I made it in the liner, I used 6 oui jars filled them with the mix put in overnight and it was ready to cover and into refrigerator in morning. Worked for me as I could lift each jar out without a problem.

@tarun27 great reuse! what did you use to cover for storage?

 

[dreword]

@markwp they sell covers for these jars on Amazon.

Using 500ml mason jars in a six-quart Ultra with Mercola Biothin (L Gasseri) as the starter.

 

[thepromiseinglenrose]

I've also done it this way. Duo SV inner pot and regular lid (the SV temperature gets wonky with the glass lid).

 

[casapollo]

I make mine in little jelly jars. The small ones fit 6 on top of the rack.

 

[spade1350]

Usually I just make it in the stainless liner. If I don't, I use pint or half pint canning jars.

 

[coloredearth]

@spade1350Totally agree!!!

 

[lamikin]

I use the cold start method. Then transfer the yogurt to small containers after chilling. I use the metal container which comes with the IP.
