Frequently Asked Questions - YM 3101 wep Exquisit

How to sterilize the pots before first use?

Wash the glass pots and their lids in warm soapy water. For optimal sterilization, you can also immerse them in boiling water for a few minutes. Let them air dry before use.

What type of milk to use for making yogurt?

You can use UHT milk (whole or semi-skimmed) without boiling, pasteurized milk or raw milk (the latter two must be boiled and then cooled to 36°C), or powdered milk for creamier yogurts.

How long does it take for the yogurt to set?

With whole milk, it takes about 6 hours. With skim milk, count about 8 hours. Check the consistency after this time; if the yogurt has not set, extend the fermentation time.

What to do if the yogurt has not set after 6 hours?

If the yogurt has not set, the ferment did not have enough time. Reconnect the appliance and let it run for another 1 to 2 hours. If the problem persists, the ferment may be of poor quality; try again with a new ferment.

How to flavor the yogurts?

You can add flavors (fruits, chocolate, coffee, caramel, honey) either in the preparation before fermentation (mixed into all the milk), or directly into each pot after the yogurt has set. For fresh fruits, it is preferable to add them after fermentation because acid can inhibit the ferments.

How to clean the yogurt maker?

Unplug the appliance. The glass pots, their lids, and the main lid can be washed with warm soapy water. The motor unit must never be immersed; clean it with a slightly damp soft cloth.

Can I use powdered milk?

Yes, powdered milk gives very creamy yogurts. Follow the reconstitution instructions on the package, then use this milk like normal milk. You can also add 3 to 5 tablespoons of powdered milk to liquid milk to thicken the yogurt.

How to store homemade yogurts?

Once the yogurts have set, close the pots with their lids and place them in the refrigerator. They keep for up to 7 days maximum, but the duration depends on the freshness of the ingredients used.

Can I use a store-bought yogurt as ferment?

Yes, you can use a store-bought natural yogurt as ferment. Add one pot of yogurt to your milk cooled to 36°C and mix well. It also works with yogurt from a previous batch, but after 4 to 8 uses, the ferments weaken.

What to do in case of a broken glass pot?

The glass pots are accessories. In case of breakage, order a replacement pot. According to the warranty, broken glass is not covered (paid replacement). You can contact after-sales service via www.ggv-service.de.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Before using your appliance for the first time, wash the lid of the appliance, the glass jars as well as the lids of the glass jars in warm soapy water. DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE PRODUCTS OR HARD UTENSILS. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Do not immerse the motor block in water. You can clean it with a slightly damp cloth.

Prepare the following utensils: a high-sided saucepan, a ladle and a spoon. Ensure all these utensils and the glass pots and caps are sterilized before starting to make yogurt. Allow these utensils to air-dry.

WHICH MILK SHOULD YOU USE?

Any kind of milk can be used to make yogurt. According to your taste, or diet, you can choose:

Homogenized and sterilized long-life milk: this milk, whether whole or semi-skimmed, sterilized with high temperatures (long-keeping milk), can be used without being previously boiled. With this milk you will obtain the best yogurts, firm and without skin. Do not use UHT skimmed milk, you will obtain the best results with whole UHT milk.

Pasteurized milk: this milk is not sterilized. It still contains heat-resistant germs, undestroyed by pasteurization. Using this milk without previous boiling means that the developed flora will be different from the flora of the yogurt.

Therefore, this milk should be boiled. Once it has cooled down, you can use it to make yogurt. This milk gives a creamier yogurt, with a thin skin on top of it which is formed by the cream that goes back up to the surface.

Raw milk (dairy milk): it is compulsory to make it boil. Ideally, the boiling should be quite long. In any case, do not use it without having it previously boiled. As for pasteurized milk, let it cool down before using it in your yogurt maker.

Powdered milk: with powdered milk, you can obtain very smooth yogurts. It sets easily and quickly.

We recommend trying various kinds of yogurt before choosing the one you prefer. Should you like a thicker yogurt, add powdered milk to the preparation (3 to 5 tablespoons, according to your taste).

FERMENT

To transform milk into yogurt, a ferment must be added, which will help the process to take place.

You can find these ferments in powder (bought at the chemist's) or in another natural yogurt bought in a store.

SUGAR

You can sweeten your yogurts when eating them. You can also sweeten them when you prepare them, by adding sugar at the same time as the ferments. Make sure you whisk well until the sugar melts. You can also use a substitute in case you cannot use sugar. The amount of sugar depends on the taste of each person, but generally one or two teaspoons per pot is enough.

PREPARATION OF NATURAL YOGURTS

1) For 7 glass pots, measure 1400 ml of milk from the market or fresh milk or pasteurized milk, then pour it into a high-sided saucepan.
2) If necessary (according to the kind of milk used), the milk must be heated almost to the boiling point (approximately 95°C). Keep the milk at this temperature for about 3 minutes, then remove the pan from the heating source and allow the milk to cool to body temperature (36°C). Do not allow the milk to boil, otherwise the yogurt will taste or smell bad or will remain too soft.
3) If you use milk that does not need to be boiled, just heat it a little, then let it cool down to body temperature (36°C).
4) Add the ferment and stir.
a) Powder ferment: take a little milk out of your saucepan, pour it into a glass pot, add the ferment, close the glass pot and shake it vigorously in order to distribute the ferment evenly.
b) Ferment coming from another yogurt: in your saucepan with cooled down milk, stir one pot of natural yogurt (bought in a store or coming from a previous batch of yogurts).
5) Distribute the mixture over the 7 glass pots. DO NOT PUT THE LIDS ON.
6) Put the glass pots in the yogurt maker and put the lid on the yogurt maker.

7) Plug in your yogurt maker. It takes about 6 hours to make yogurts from whole milk, and about 8 hours to make yogurts from skimmed milk.
8) Press the switch. It turns on when the yogurt maker is working.
9) After 6 or 8 hours, check that the yogurts have set well. If they have not, that is because the ferment has not had time to act. Begin again starting from point 7. If the ferment has a good quality, it should be a success after the second try.
10) When the yogurts have set, switch off the appliance.
11) If the yogurts have set well, close the glass pots with their lids and put the glass pots in the refrigerator.

TIPS

Once you have made a first batch of yogurts with ferments, these are weakened and will give less smooth yogurts than natural yogurts. Keep one to have ferments for the next batch of yogurts. After 4 to 8 batches, according to the milk you chose and the conditions of use, we recommend that you use new ones.

Once the yogurt maker is plugged, do not move it and make sure it will not be affected by shocks or vibrations.

In some conditions of use, there can be much condensation. To gather water, we advise you to always open your yogurt maker by making the lid pivot on the rear part of your yogurt maker.

PRESERVATION

Since your yogurts are made without preservatives, the expiry time will be shorter than for yogurts sold in shops.

We recommend eating your yogurts within 7 days. This length will vary according to the quality and the freshness of the products used.

TO SERVE

Once the yogurt has cooled down, it can be served with natural flavour or with honey or sugar to sweeten the yogurt. You can also add fruit toppings. You can flavour the yogurt according to your personal taste.

FLAVOURED YOGURTS

You can either stir the flavour (fruits, chocolate, honey...) in each glass pot individually when the yogurt has cooled down or in the milk mix before dividing it into the glass pots.

You can stir the flavour/the ingredients (fruits, chocolate, coffee, caramel, honey...) either individually in each pot (and thus make up to 7 different kinds of yogurt in one time) or in the preparation before you make your yogurts (in this case you can only make one kind of yogurt at a time).

You can use various fruits. The amount of fruits depends on your personal taste. Fresh fruits might contain acid, which kills the ferments and prevents the yogurt from setting. In this case, put fresh fruits in the already set yogurt or bake the fruits beforehand.

CLEANING

Unplug from outlet before cleaning.

The pots, their caps and the lid of the yogurt maker can be cleaned in hot soapy water.

Do not immerse the body of the yogurt maker in water. Just clean it with a soft damp cloth.
