Thank you so much for this video Jill! I've been making perfect yogurt exactly like you described here for a year and I have shared this video far and wide. This yogurt has made a big difference in My Vegan cheeses... I stopped using rejuvelac and just use probiotic capsules and this yogurt and whatever I make and it's amazing.

Thank you so much for this video! I am now making all of our yogurt in my ipot! I use Westsoy Plain Organic Unsweetened soy milk (it only contains organic soybeans and filtered water) and have had consistent success! My husband is the yogurt eater, and he likes it much better than store bought! I also purchased your soy yogurt recipes--but haven't had the time to look through them yet. Thanks again!

Jill, you are an inspiration with both your recipes and your great attitude. I can do the recipes, but I struggle being happy. You help, so thanks!

I never should have doubted you, Jill. I only bought one quart of milk just in case, but then I had to go out the next day and buy two more. We used to eat yogurt by the gallon before we went vegan. I briefly bought WholeSoy yogurt before they went out of business and that was the last yogurt I had. I don't care for almond or coconut yogurt and what I really want was plain, unsweetened yogurt. OMG, it was like meeting up with an old friend. The kids then requested your granola to go with it. Yay for yogurt!

Perfect, Perfect!! Turned out thick... and, did I say Perfect?! I decided to make 3 smaller jars with one Eden milk and starter. I just shook it up and divided it into 3 jars. I’ll definitely make again and try your mayonnaise and cheese. Thank you! Finally nota fail ... Perfect 😁👍

Seriously??!! I just love you! Oh and the yogurt recipe! I go to 'Cultures for Health' for the vegan fermented vegetable starter which is awesome!!! NEW to IP and glad to find you!

Hi and thanks for the great video!! I was wondering - do you add water to the bottom of the liner? Also, after you remove the jars from the Instant Pot, when do you put the lids on - while the jars are still hot or do you wait for them to cool for two hours?

Hi Jill! Sorry if I'm overthinking this -- I have the 6 quart IP. I'm only making yogurt for myself so probably only need to use one carton of soy milk. Would that be one packet of the Cultures for Health + the 1 carton of soy milk distributed across 2 pint jars? Love your recipes, hoping to make more over the next little while! You were the first recipe for making beans in the I Pot I followed -- perfect advice! (And so glad I have liquid smoke in the cupboard now).

Hi, Jill. I just found you. Love your humor. I have been using Westsoy, unsweetened milk. It too is just soy and water. I have a 6 quart pot so use 6 tall pint jars and Solgar Advanced 40 + Acidophilus, one pill per jar. Put the milk in the blender, stir just to make a gentle vortex and empty 1 pill per jar ( so 6 pills) into the blender. Fill the jars, cap them loosely. I put a cup of water in my instant pot. Then process for 10 hours. Works every time. Saw it on KZread.

Jill,....If you are still checking in....I miss your Videos!! I make Instant Pot Soy Yogurt (from soy beans) every week. Started making Instant Pot Dairy yogurt after watching this video years ago. Soy Yogurt starts by making Soy Milk...soak 2 cups of beans overnight...strain...measure out 8 cups of (preferably) filtered water... blend beans in VitaMix with just enough water to make a "milkshake" thick bean mash. Preheat the rest of the 8 cups of water....add bean mash to the preheating water...COOK the bean mash under low-med heat until it starts to boil. Stir a lot and watch for boiling over...(it will if you aren't quick on the draw). Strain out milk using a nut bag or cheese cloth. Then use the soy milk in the Instant Pot to make the yogurt. I started with the "Cultures For Health" "Yogurt Starter"...lasts about 6-9 months by keeping 2-3 tbsp each time to culture the next batch. I usually use a Greek Yogurt strainer overnight to make (thicker) Greek Soy Yogurt. Everybody says home made yogurt lasts 3 days...but it lasts a week if kept in the fridge. It was pasteurized in the Instant Pot. Just keep the yogurt covered and refrigerated. The (still) live cultures won't let your yogurt be taken over by foreign critters that fast.

I am so happy right now ! Thanks Jill for all your inspiration. Old post: Well I just tried making it and I failed but I think I know what I did wrong . I added maple syrup and vanilla before in mixing phase and it didn't set so ya... I failed but I will try again tonight the regular way as directed :( I won't waste it though I will poor over cereal because it came out looking like what it went in as .

I will try and get more details on making the beans. I know I do a similar thing in the oven, but doing it under pressure seems like it may be different. I just put the jars of beans, with liquid as required, into a baking pan. I do this a couple of times a month, sometimes more often, depends on what kind of mood I am in. quart jars, beans, veggie broth, seasonings, peppers, onions, whatever you like, put into a deep pan, (I have an old steam table type deep pan I bought at a restaurant supply store ultra cheap, ) put the jars into the pan, put it into the oven, and then fill to about an inch below top of pan, slide shelf into oven, cook until done. then when done, pull jars out of pan, so pan is not so heavy, put on a cooling rack, and then pull pan of hot water from oven. wala, home cooked beans, different types, all in their own jar to put in fridge. But, I will have to ask her how she did this in her instapot. I am single, so this is good for me rather than making one large pot of beans, I like a variety. I primarily use a yogurt maker that holds one large quart jar, and I have for some time used the edensoy milk. just the best. costs a bit more, not available here, so I order by case from edensoy.

Sell the LUX iPot you have and go buy a DUO model with the yogurt function. Seriously, the LUX does not have the low temperature control to incubate the organisms for yogurt. Here’s my Amazon affiliate link to the Instant Pot DUO60, 6-quart. It will make 3 pints of yogurt; if you click through the link to get over to Amazon and look at the 8-quart DUO80 model, that one will hold 3 quart jars. That’s enough for making “sour cream”, yogurt cheese, and salad dressings, along with breakfast yogurt. Amazon link: simpledailyrecipes.com/ipot

I couldn't find any Edensoy milk around here ( I've since ordered 2 cases from Eden Foods) so I tried making it with Westsoy. Westsoy only has 9g of protein per serving vs Edensoy's 12g. It turned out tasty but just not really thick. I've blended in some konjac powder which did thicken it but I want thick yogurt from the get-go. I'll be making a new batch next week with my newly arrived Edensoy milk. HAPPY!!!! HAPPY!!!!! I now have a request :-) Can you try making ricotta using soy milk? I think it should work with the Edensoy. It would be so cool to make fresh cheese the old fashion way. I would feel so Italian. ;-) I love you channel and I especially love your humor!

I've also used just one capsule for 2 quarts and that works too. I get the thickest yogurt when I heat the milk to really hot, let cool and then make the yogurt, although usually I don't bother. Hope this works for you!

The Vegan Real Yogurt culture starter is a direct set culture, so it will only work once in general. You'll have to purchase new starter when the box runs out. You may or may not be able to make a subsequent batch, but it is not a self-perpetuating long term culture.

According to the Cultures for Health pamphlet, the soy milk is supposed to be heated to 110F before adding the culture, but it seems that you don’t do this. Have you ever heated the milk first? How soon should it be consumed with/without heating?

Hi Deborah! Back when I was learning how to culture yogurt, I heated the milk, but I skip that step now. I get consistent desired results (truly thick yogurt) adding the culture to the room temperature soymilk. Once the yogurt is yogurt, I seal and refrigerate jars right away and store them on the top, back shelf where it's coldest. Opened jars are best eaten within 3 days. Unopened jars keep very well up to 2 weeks. (I've forgotten unopened yogurt at 3 weeks and it was as good as fresh.) I do make certain the jars and lids I use have been freshly sterilized before I add the soy milk and culture. I hope I've been helpful. Feel free to ask as many questions as they come to you, I'll tell you everything I've learned over the last 22 years of making yogurt at home.

I made yogurt straight in the inner pot, once. It ferments the same. However, afterwards, here’s what happened: when I started breaking up the yogurt to transfer it into containers, it lost its thick consistency. I ended up with a much softer yogurt. After a day in the fridge, the water in the yogurt separated. When I stirred it back in, the yogurt had the consistency of a creamy salad dressing. That’s not a bad thing, if I had wanted to make a large batch of creamy salad dressing. That wasn’t my plan. From then on, I went back to making yogurt in individual mason jars. The less I disturb the yogurt, the thicker it remains. Also, fermenting straight in separate sterile jars then sealing them after the fermentation process, extends its freshness in the fridge. My family is taps into one jar at a time, while the others remain sealed, chilled, and fresh. I’ve had undisturbed yogurt kept in the back of the top shelf of the fridge for 3 weeks. It looked and tasted great without any concerns or mishaps. I hope this helps. Happy new year!

I get the separation too.

Jill, In the last yogurt video you said to put the tray in the insti pot and add 1 cup of water.... Then you also showed the method to use the insti Pot liner directly. I just purchased your book and you do not talk about or show the method for making the yogurt directly in the liner. Will it still work with this recipe? And without going to the "boil" part first using the steam button? Can you clarify please?

Depends on what you pay for it and which brand you buy as well as what kind of milk and culture you make yours of - so an impossible question to answer. You would have to do your own calculations...

Yes, even with the cost of EdenSoy milk (most expensive), and a starter, it turns out about half the cost of a large container of plain, unsweetened Silk soy yogurt. But that is harder and harder to find. If you use Trader Joe's soymilk, about half the cost of EdenSoy, it is cheaper, but not quite as thick or flavorful.

I tried this yesterday, purchased both the exact Soy Milk and Culture from Amazon as per Jill's video and followed the directions to a T - even "cooked" for 11 hours instead of 8 only to open my IPot lid and find runny milk inside my bottles. So discouraging!!! So I put them in the fridge over night to see if they would "set" and woke up to the same runny milk. Put them back in my Ipot, 8 hours is almost up so I'll check soon but not even sure if its safe now. Why wouldn't this work for me?!

Hi Marie, Did you ever have any luck with your yogurt? My first guess as to the problem is that your cultures from Amazon were bad. Second guess is that your IP is not getting warm enough to culture the yogurt, but I doubt it. I've heard that Amazon storage conditions are not that great (very HOT warehouses), and I would suspect the cultures got too hot and were killed. However, when I have made yogurt that turned out runny, I've immediately turned the IP back on for several more hours and it has always thickened up. Good luck!

Would you use 1/2 or whole pkt of starter per each pint in the 5qt iPot?

I do this, and when using starter I use a whole package per quart. However, I do not always use starter. Once I have made yogurt, for a while I can simply take a tablespoon of yogurt from my previous batch, and use this as my starter, and after a time, it seems to lose stregth, and I need some new starter again. Now, you have to keep your jar of yogurt free from contamination, so if you want to be sure you have not damaged the culture, just take a couple of tablespoons from each jar, or one heaping tablespoon, put into little containers in freezer, then drop into soymilk when ready to make yogurt. let it thaw first, or you will need to keep in instapot longer to make up for the frozen cube....lol.....but this is how I do it anyway.

I go to the link where it says to get the recipes. WAY too many books to know which one it’s in. The OMG first book isn’t even here yet . Can I have a hint to the recipe written? Made my own soy milk so have to “act” since it’s already been a day and apparently it’s a 3 day shelf life. Got scared by all the Monsanto soy stories so thought I should make the stuff (not as easy as almond milk). Lol

I purchased new cultures and made the yogurt and it turned out great !!!!!

They had 16 & 4 oz jars at the store this morning. I got the 4 oz. unpacked the new 6 qt Pot.....looks like a larger jar would be better but what do I know? Soybeans have been soaking since last night. Maybe just make the soy milk today (sorry, Eden, I’m going to have to be a purist with my soy products...except organic tofu). Tackle you yogurt tomorrow after I calm down from owning now two I Pots, a juicer, a VitaMix (all out on the counter and the coffee maker and toaster (for hubby) left out for hubby on another counter. My cutting board still fits, however, so I’m good. Lol Last counter holds 2 baskets one for root veggies (onions, garlic, etc) and one for fruits. If I ever become a Tiny House or RV person my kitchen will have to be renovated to fit this stuff. I’m not able to see giving it up...probably ever.

I’m a bit confused on the “sealed” setting with no water in the pot and the soy milk in jars, the ferment temperature does not get hot enough to seal the pot. Did I miss a step?

@@sherileepoetcmt Here's an interesting comment on another website about yogurt turning pink. Hope this helps: Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I had a problem with a similar organism a few years ago - not only yogurt but also my cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream. A friend who is a lab tech took some culture samples and the source was three of my rubber or silicone spatulas which had been through the dishwasher but apparently the spores were imbedded in the material itself. I switch to using only stainless steel - utensils and have never had the problem since then. I threw away the "contaminated" spatulas. I also threw out all the spatulas with wooden handles as they all cultured with organisms that were not necessarily pathogens, but better to be safe than sorry. The ones with bamboo handles were entirely free of any organisms. Any plastic material, even the hard plastics, after a few uses can develop microscopic "pores" in which these spores can hide and infect anything that is put in the container. About the only way to get rid of them safely is to steam them for at least 15 minutes. The chemical disinfectants can be effective but also difficult to remove and bleach just doesn't do an adequate job.
