Frequently Asked Questions - Nature TAURUS

What type of milk to use for successful yogurts?

Preferably use whole or semi-skimmed UHT or powdered milk. Avoid skimmed milk. Fresh or pasteurized milk must be boiled then cooled before use. For firmer yogurts, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of powdered milk.

How long does it take to make yogurts?

Fermentation time is 6 to 15 hours depending on the type of milk and ambient temperature. The longer the time, the firmer and more acidic the yogurts will be.

Why are my yogurts too runny?

Possible causes: milk too low in protein (use whole milk or add powdered milk), inactive starter, draft, vibrations during the cycle, or insufficient fermentation time. Do not move the yogurt maker and check the starter date.

How to clean the yogurt maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool. The glass jars, their lids, and the main lid can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher (delicate cycle). Wipe the body with a damp cloth. Never immerse the electrical base.

Can I use freeze-dried starters?

Yes, you can use freeze-dried dry starters available in supermarkets or pharmacies. Respect the activation time indicated on the package. You can also use a store-bought plain yogurt or a homemade yogurt (up to 5 times).

What to do if my yogurts have a layer of liquid on the surface?

This liquid (whey or buttermilk) appears if the yogurts fermented too long or if the milk was too hot at the start. You can remove it or consume it. Next time, reduce the fermentation time or use ingredients at room temperature.

Can I make flavored yogurts?

Yes, add syrups, chocolate, coffee, jam, or fruits. Caution: acidic fresh fruits can kill the starters. Add them before consumption or cook them beforehand. The manual provides detailed recipes.

How long can I store homemade yogurts?

Plain yogurts keep up to 8 days in the refrigerator, and flavored yogurts up to 5 days. Place them in the cold for at least 2 hours before tasting, ideally 24 hours for better consistency.

Is it possible to use soy milk?

Yes, the manual includes a recipe for soy milk yogurt. Use 1 liter of soy milk with a plain yogurt or a packet of starter. The result may be runnier than cow's milk yogurt.

Does the appliance shut off automatically?

No, the appliance does not have automatic shut-off. You must manually turn off the on/off switch when fermentation is complete. The indicator light remains on as long as the appliance is running.

Instructions for use

Before use:

• Make sure that all the product's packaging has been removed.
• Before using the product for the first time, clean the parts that will come into contact with food in the manner described in the cleaning section.
• To prepare the yogurts you will need a litre of milk and ferment

\*Choosing the milk:

• Preferably choose whole milk or semi-skimmed milk (long life UHT or powdered milk). This milk doesn't need to be boiled before being used. Do not use skimmed milk.
• Whole milk will provide more ferments and

aromas.

• Fresh or pasteurised milk must be boiled previously. They should be left to cool and the cream removed. These types of milk contain more vitamins and dietary minerals.
• To obtain thicker yogurts, add 2 or 3 dessert spoons of powdered milk.
• Use the milk at room temperature or heat it slightly (37°C - 40°C).

\*Choosing the ferment

Choose:

A - Use a yogurt (preferably whole milk yogurt) with an expiration date as far in advance as possible.
B - Use freeze-dried ferment (it can be purchased in supermarkets, pharmacies or specialist shops). Respect the activation time recommended on the ferment instructions.
C - Use the yogurt that you have made yourself. Do not use it more than 5 times.

Preparing the yogurt

- Carefully mix a litre of milk with the ferment. To obtain a homogenous mix, beat the yogurt until the mixture is smooth. Then add the milk while continuing to stir. Make sure froth doesn't form.

Anomalies	Causes Solutions
Yogurts are too liquid in consistency.	The milk used isn't sufficiently rich in proteins.	As semi-skimmed milk was used, add 2 pots of powdered milk - 1 pot of semi-skimmed milk and 1/2 of full milk.
	The yogurt maker has been moved, bumped or vibrated.	Do not move the yogurt maker during the process.
	The ferment is no longer active.	Change the ferment.
	Draft	Do not take out the pots or open the yogurt maker before the cycle has ended. Keep the yogurt maker out of drafts.
	Fermentation time too short	Re-connect the appliance.
Lumps	The milk was too hot.	Next time add the ingredients at a lower temperature.
	The ingredients haven't been mixed together enough.	Beat the yogurt until obtaining a smooth mixture. Then add the milk while stirring continuously.Don't let froth form.
	The milk has turned sour.	Check that the milk has not gone off.
(Whey) liquid on the surface of the yogurt.	The yogurt has been in the appliance for too long.	Remove the whey if you wish or eat the yogurts as they are. Next time, make sure the yogurts are taken out of the yogurt maker earlier.
	The milk was too hot when the ferment was added.	Remove the whey if you wish or eat the yogurts as they are. Next time, make sure the ingredients are added at room temperature.
