Flavoring Yogurt How do you flavor each jar differently before you cook them?

You could easily flavor each jar separately so long as you don't fill them too full when you pour the milk in.

I think you have to flavor the entire batch as a whole, or use a spoonful of different jams/curds on each jar as you are about to eat it. My favorite flavor so far is to the hot milk in the pot add 1/3 cup pure maple syrup. This, of course, flavors the whole batch. My kids say this is better tasting than any store yogurt they've ever had. Super yum.

Thanks; that's what I've been doing but wanted somehow to flavor orange, lime, etc in just one jar. Oh well. Never thought of the maple syrup though; sounds great.

Make sure the "milk" you're using is sweetened w/ something like cane sugar or blend some figs, dates, or prunes into the liquid before making the yogurt. Also, follow the instructions in the Schinner Vegan cheese book and add soaked cashews to the mix. Alt, go fake w/ a bit of agar agar or some startch (say, tapioca).

You need to strain it first. Then add flavors if you like (honey, vanilla, etc.).

Flavorings are added in the second ferment stage. You can find more info and a video here: http://www.kombuchakamp.com/2011/09/10-easy-recipes-for-flavoring-kombucha.html

I don't know how to answer your question. To mske it greek, just strain in a filter or strainer. This allows the luquid to pass thru into a bowl or draon. Greek is just thicker cause less liquid in the yogurt.

I have only ever used a glass jar to make the yogurt. The yogurt always comes out tasting great. I prefer the glass as it does not leach chemicals as plastic does.

You can use small, Bell Brand, glass canning jars. They are a perfect fit, and I can fit 7 into my yogurt maker.

There are limited instructions. It is pretty much a basic recipe for plain yogurt. There are so many different things you can add to it, pretty much whatever fruit, granola, or honey suits you. It is easier to make yogurt than using the stove-top method since you do not have to monitor the temperature. You just let the yogurt maker do it for you. In my opinion, it would be better if it had a timer, but for the price we think it is a good machine. We make yogurt for the whole family and like not having to wash out individual tubs. Making it in one large batch works well for us since different family members eat different amounts in a meal. There are limited instructions. It is pretty much a basic recipe for plain yogurt.

The recipe book has several recipes that include yogurt. I made several batches using yogurt and liked the creaminess and dairy flavor. The recipe book suggests using cubes of yogurt that has been frozen. I sometimes just mixed in refrigerated yogurt when I was ready to eat the dessert. I really prefer it WITH the yogurt.

I just received my yogurt maker yesterday and would like to make flavored yogurt. Can you tell me when to add the fruit and if I have to cook it first or can I add it raw.Thank you.

FYI: the yogurt is NOT "cooked" (incubated?) with the plastic tops. The glass jars are uncovered in the yogurt maker and the tops should never come in direct contact with the yogurt itself. After the yogurt has finished incubating (I let mine "cook" about 6-7 hours), I just put the tops on lightly so the yogurt can "breathe" while it cools down in the fridge. After the yogurt is cold (several hours), I then securely close the tops. I don't like plastic, but I don't mind these. They just protect the yogurt and keep it fresh.

I didn't notice anything about yogurt in the instructions, but it's a very limited recipe/instruction book. www.hippressurecooking.com has a ton of recipes and tips for using electric pressure cookers - you may be able to contact them for advice!

I store my yogurt in mason jars. Determine how many cups your container will hold and that will be the amount of milk you will use to make your yogurt. When making Greek yogurt in the strainer it will reduce the amount by half. I can fill up a small mason jar with the Greek yogurt. I found I can safely set the mason jar in the yogurt maker without damage to the jar. That makes it easy to just put in the refrigerator. If I want a larger amount then I use the white container that came with the unit.

No jars for this one. You will use the Provided plastic container. Depending on the milk u're using you have between 2 1/2 cups (whole milk) and 1 3/4 cups ( skim milk) of yogurt per batch.

You pour your mix into a container which fits into the machine. The machine comes with one, or you can use a quart plastic container from store-bought yogurt, or you can use wide-mouth glass jars (Mason jars). The machine itself is completely plastic, but it never touches the yogurt.

The yogurt is made in one container. If you want to put it in jars after it's made, you can, but to make it, it's done in bulk. A recipe I make uses 3 cups of milk and 2 cups of heavy cream. It all goes into one container, so it's making 5 cups of yogurt in one bulk container.
