It's no secret that fermented milk products are good for the digestive system. And for the whole body as a whole. Bifidobacteria, vitamins, calcium again - all this is important and necessary in any diet.

For me, the best example of fermented milk is yogurt. Light, tasty, combined with all fruits and berries - easy to eat. But the question is: how to choose this product in a store so that it has more benefits than harm? Dyes, flavorings, preservatives – it’s scary when you read the ingredients.

I decided to learn how to cook such happiness at home. My mom knows how to make yogurt in a slow cooker, so I borrowed her recipes. We even made the first one together at her home - so that I could probably do it myself.

Yogurt in the Polaris multicooker

If you don’t have starter on hand, you can use either leftover homemade or store-bought yogurt. My mother and I cooked with a store-bought one in her slow cooker, and everything worked out well.

Kitchen appliances and utensils: multicooker and mixer, mixing container (deep), cups with lids (we got 6), spoon, multicooker bowl.

Ingredients

To make yogurt tasty and healthy, you need to responsibly approach the issue of choosing ingredients:

• You can use any milk, be it whole or pasteurized – you can get yogurt anyway. The main thing is that it is fresh; do not be lazy to check the end of consumption date on the packaging. Milk must also be sold from the refrigerator. If you buy whole meat at the market, always pay attention to the cleanliness of the seller’s hands and never hesitate to take a sample. There, this is the only way to establish that it is good and has not gone sour.
• Take any yogurt, preferably in a glass. Either with or without filling – to your taste. The main thing is that the expiration dates are observed, it is sold from the refrigerator, and the label indicates that it contains the bifidobacteria we need. My mother takes Activia, and everything always works out.
• Take fruits or berries according to your desire, taste and season. Even frozen ones will do. This is an optional ingredient, but they make yogurt taste much better.

If everything you need is at hand, you can start creating our fermented milk dish.

Yogurt in a Redmond multicooker in jars

At home, I decided to prepare this dessert strictly according to the recipe - with sourdough. I don’t have multicooker cups, so I cooked in jars with lids. It turned out no worse.

Cooking time: 11-12 o'clock.
Number of servings: 4.
Calories: per 100 grams of finished product 120 kcal.
Kitchen appliances and utensils: multicooker, deep mixing container, jars with lids, spoon, multicooker bowl.

As you can see, the set of dishes and equipment has not changed much. Nothing complex was added to the products either.

Ingredients

You already know how to choose milk, now let’s figure out the rest:

• Cream can be found in any store. As with any dairy product, the main criteria here are that they are sold from the refrigerator, that the expiration dates are in order, and that the container is not damaged.
• Dry sourdough can now be bought anywhere. But I am suspicious and only buy it at the pharmacy - there is at least some kind of quality control applied to the products. It is important that it is refrigerated, that it is sealed tightly and that the end date is correct. Otherwise, the bacteria inside the jar will die or there will be fewer of them, and this is not at all useful for us.

When you have everything you need in the kitchen, you can start preparing our fermented milk dessert.

Or just sprinkle with chocolate chips - all options are good, choose to your taste.

Tips for preparing yoghurts in a slow cooker and serving them

• When preparing such a product at home, it is very important that the milk, cream and yoghurt (or starter) are at the same temperature, preferably from the refrigerator.
• The fattier the milk from which you are going to make yogurt, the thicker it will turn out.
• In order to make yogurt, bifidobacteria need to work. If after the allotted time you open the multicooker, and the contents of the jars are completely liquid, close everything and leave for another hour or two, everything will definitely work out.
• Store the finished fermented milk product only in the refrigerator and for no more than three days.– there are no preservatives, it tends to spoil.

These desserts are served chilled. This is a great light breakfast for those on a diet. Yogurt looks great for an afternoon snack. This dish can be the perfect dessert for any table and any meal.

Yogurt in a slow cooker (easy way)

We will need:

1 liter of milk, I bought 2.5% fat in the store

1 jar of Activia without additives (by the way, with such a starter, yogurt is even tastier than with flavors and fillers).

How to cook:

Pour all the milk into the multicooker pan, turn on the “Baking” mode, and stand nearby so as not to miss the moment when the milk heats up to 40 degrees. I cooked in a Panasonic 10 multicooker, I didn’t close the lid, so the milk heated up to the desired temperature in 5 minutes. I checked the temperature with a thermometer, this is important because the quality of the finished yogurt depends on the temperature of the milk:

As soon as the milk reached 40 degrees, I pulled the saucepan out of the multicooker so that it did not overheat. I turned off the “Baking” mode.

I poured some milk into a mug and mixed it with Activia:

This mass was poured into milk and mixed thoroughly.

turn on the “Heating” mode for 15 minutes.

Turned off “Heating” and rested for 1 hour.

“Warm up” again for 15 minutes.

Left for 6 hours. I left it overnight, early in the morning I put the pan in the refrigerator, and when I took it out, the yogurt looked like this:

I poured the finished yogurt into jars and closed the lids.

no fuss with banks

no need for a napkin on the bottom of the pan

put it in the night and sleep well

I really liked this method of making yogurt in a slow cooker.

Many girls simply cannot live a day without light diet yogurt. Children love to enjoy this wonderful fermented milk product, especially if you add something sweet to it.

Now we will prepare yogurt according to several recipes, naturally in a slow cooker. At the same time, we will calculate the cost and calorie content of the product.

In any case, yogurt is very tasty and healthy, but today this product is quite expensive, and you won’t always find it fresh.

The slow cooker yogurt recipe I settled on

I've tried many recipes. And I stopped there. I consider it the simplest and most useful.

Ingredients:

• pasteurized milk, fat content 2.5% or more
• two bottles of bifidumbacterin (or lactobacterin)
• two tablespoons of sour cream, fermented baked milk or yogurt

It is important to take sour cream or fermented baked milk that tastes good to you. And use only pasteurized milk. You can take baked milk, the taste will be even more interesting.

Recipe and preparation:

pour approximately 720 ml of milk into a convenient bowl. Open the bottles with bifidumbacterin and dilute their contents with warm water. Add to milk. Add two tablespoons of sour cream or fermented baked milk there.

Mix everything directly with a spoon in the jar. We don’t really need high-quality mixing, so we just stir without fanaticism.

By the way, the second option is to put the sour cream immediately into jars, pour milk with bifidum bacterin into it and then simply mix.

Pour into yogurt cups, cover with lids, and place in the multicooker bowl. Close the lid, install and launch the yogurt program. In my case, the standard program is 8 hours exactly.

When the process is complete, place the yogurt in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Bon appetit! As you can see for yourself, everything is simple and fast (not counting the operating time of the multicooker, but you can set it overnight).

Cost price

Yogurt in a slow cooker (basic, simple recipe)

Prepare the following products:

• A liter of milk (any fat content from 2.5% and above).
• Ready-made yogurt (Activia is best).
• Sugar – use as desired.

Note: for those who are on a diet, do not use full-fat milk. But the tastiest yogurt comes from fattier milk. For the first starter, ready-made yogurt without additives is used. In the future, you can use your product.

Preparation:

Let's start cooking! Heat the milk to 40 degrees. You can also do this in the microwave if you don't have time. Add 125 gr. (one package) of pre-purchased yogurt and mix everything well with a whisk or spoon. Do not use a mixer.

Pour the finished mixture into baby food jars. The capacity should not exceed 200 g. Place a silicone mat or a soft napkin at the bottom of the multicooker bowl. Pour 1 liter of warm water into it and place the jars (keep them open). Cover with baking paper.

Set the "Multi-cook" mode. To prepare yogurt in a multicooker in this mode, set the temperature to 40 degrees, and program the time for at least 6 and no more than 8 hours! Turn off the heating. After the program ends, remove the jars and place them in the refrigerator.

After 2-3 hours, fresh yogurt is ready to eat. Now you can add corn flakes, berries, muesli or sugar to the product if you wish.

Fruit yogurt in a slow cooker

You will need:

• 1 liter of milk
• a glass of fruit (banana, apple, peach... any fruit of your choice and according to the season)
• glass of live yogurt

Preparation:

Wash the fruits thoroughly, peel them, remove the seeds and pits, and use a blender to make a fruit puree.

Boil milk, cool to 40 degrees, add fruit puree and yogurt. Mix and place the resulting mass into washed and dry portioned jars. Place the jars in the multicooker bowl, first placing a cloth or silicone napkin on the bottom. Pour warm water into the bowl so that it covers only a third of the height of the jars.

Set the multicooker to “yogurt” mode for 7-8 hours. If your multi model doesn't have a special mode, no problem. For these cases, there is a scheme tested by other owners of multicookers:

• heating 15 min
• multi off 1 hour
• heating 15 min
• multi off 3 hours
• open the multicooker and transfer the jars of yoghurt to the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

The trick is to not open the multi and not let the water temperature drop below 40 degrees. You can check whether your gadget maintains this mode without yogurt by heating the water for 15 minutes and checking after three hours.

Yogurt in a slow cooker without jars (with honey and walnuts)

Preparation:

Pour warm milk into a multi bowl, add starter (sourdough, yogurt or sour cream). “Yoghurt” mode for 8 hours. You should get a fermented milk mass and a small amount of whey. If you took store-bought milk, there may be a lot of whey.

Separate the mass from the yogurt, for example using a sieve, put the mass in a bowl and add nuts and honey.

The delicacy is ready, enjoy your meal.
