Frequently Asked Questions - SJB 18 A1 SILVERCREST

How long does it take to make yogurt with the SJB 18 A1 yogurt maker?

The fermentation time is generally 8 to 12 hours, depending on the recipe and ambient temperature. The yogurt maker has an integrated timer for precise adjustment.

Can I use plant-based milk in the SilverCrest yogurt maker?

Yes, you can use soy, almond, or oat milk. The result may be less firm than with cow's milk. Adding a thickener can help.

How to clean the glass jars and the housing?

The jars and lids are dishwasher safe. The housing is cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the housing in water.

What to do if the yogurt is too runny?

Increase the fermentation time by 1 to 2 hours or use whole milk. You can also add powdered milk for a firmer texture.

Does the yogurt maker turn off automatically?

Yes, the yogurt maker has an automatic shut-off after the set time. An audible signal may indicate the end of the cycle.

Can I make fresh cheese with the SJB 18 A1?

Yes, this yogurt maker also allows you to prepare fresh cheese by draining the yogurt after fermentation. Use a cheesecloth or a strainer.

What is the total capacity of the yogurt maker?

It holds 7 jars of 150 ml each, giving a total capacity of about 1 liter of yogurt.

Can I make flavored yogurts?

Yes, add fresh fruits, honey, or vanilla extract to the jars before adding the inoculated milk. Avoid overly large pieces.

How to choose the fermentation time?

The longer the time, the firmer and more acidic the yogurt. Start with 8 hours and adjust according to your preferences. The timer allows setting from 1 to 12 hours.

Where can I find the complete instruction manual?

The manual is available for free in PDF on the website notice-facile.com for the SilverCrest model SJB 18 A1.

DANGER to and from pets and livestock

Electrical devices can represent a hazard to pets and livestock. In addition, animals can also cause damage to the device. For this reason you should keep animals away from electrical devices at all times.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock due to moisture

- The base, the mains power cable and the mains plug must not be immersed in water or any other liquids.

- Protect the base from moisture, water drops and water splashes: Failure to observe this instruction may result in an electrical shock hazard.

- Should liquids enter the base, pull out the mains plug immediately. Have the device checked before reusing.

- Make sure that the surface under the device is dry.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock

- Never put the device into operation if there are visible damages to the device or the power cable or if the device has been dropped before.

- Only connect the mains plug to a properly installed and easily accessible grounded power socket whose voltage corresponds to the specifications on the rating plate. The wall socket must continue to be easily accessible after the device is plugged in.

- Ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged by sharp edges or hot surfaces.

- When using the device, ensure that the power cable cannot be trapped or crushed.

The device is not fully disconnected from the power supply, even after it is switched off. In order to fully disconnect it, pull out the mains plug.

- Only use the original accessories.

The device is fitted with non-slip silicon feet. Because furniture can be coated with a wide variety of varnishes and plastics, and treated with various care products, the possibility cannot be excluded that some of these substances have ingredients that may attack and soften the silicon feet. If necessary, place a non-slip mat under the device.

- Do not use any astringent or abrasive cleaning agents.

6. Making yoghurt

6.1 This is how yoghurt is made

To make your own yoghurt you will need: - 1 I milk or cream

NOTE: The amount of fat contained in the yoghurt will be the same as the milk you use. To make creamy yoghurt, do not use milk but fresh cream, or add some cream to your milk.

- Several teaspoons of live yoghurt culture (organic yoghurt, probiotic yoghurt, home-made yoghurt, commercially available yoghurt with live cultures).

NOTE: Organic yoghurt, probiotic yoghurt and your own home-made yoghurt always contain live cultures. Some commercially available yoghurts are long-life products and no longer contain any live cultures. Just try out your "favourite yoghurt" as the starter culture and see whether you are happy with the result.

- yoghurt maker - approx. 10 - 12 hours' time

Milk contains lactose. It is converted into lactic acid by lactic bacteria (yoghurt culture), so allowing yoghurt to form. So this process is successful, the yoghurt maker ensures the best temperature for the yoghurt cultures to easily propagate.

The milk should not contain any other bacteria as this might contaminate the yoghurt. Therefore ensure absolute cleanliness, particularly where the yoghurt pots are concerned. In addition, you can boil the milk beforehand and allow it to cool down to around 40°C before adding the yoghurt culture.

NOTES:

• Home-made yoghurt is generally more creamy and not as thick as commercial products.
• Water may separate off during preparation, but this is normal. Just pour away the water or mix it back in.
- You can use the yoghurt you have made to start off the next batch. The more often you do this, the thinner your yoghurt will become. If it becomes too thin, you should start afresh with a new yoghurt you have bought.
• If you only use 900 ml milk, this will make your yoghurt a bit thicker.
- If you add 3 - 4 tablespoons of powdered milk, this will make your yoghurt thicker.
- Yoghurt will become thicker if you let it mature for a day in the refrigerator before eating.
- UHT milk does not need to be boiled before making yoghurt.
• Instead of using yoghurt cultures from another yoghurt, you can also use yoghurt powder bought from a health food shop or online.

- Yoghurt can also be made with soya milk. In this case use a yoghurt made with soya milk as the starter culture.

6.2 Making plain yoghurt

1. Boil 1 l milk.
2. Allow the milk to cool down until it is lukewarm.

NOTE: If the milk is too hot when you add the yoghurt culture, this will kill the bacteria, and no yoghurt will be produced.

1. Once the milk has cooled down, add around 5 teaspoons of yoghurt containing live yoghurt cultures.
2. Stir well to mix in the cultures properly.
3. Fill the milk into the yoghurt pots 2, which have been carefully washed.
4. Screw the tops back on to the yoghurt pots 2.
5. Put the yoghurt pots 2 in the base section 3.
6. Put the lid 1 on the base section 3.
7. Insert the mains plug 5 into a wall socket corresponding to the specifications of the rating plate.
8. Switch the yoghurt maker on using the On/ Off switch 4. The indicator light in the On/ Off switch 4 lights up. After around 10 to 12 hours the yoghurt will have set.
9. Switch the appliance off.
10. Remove the plug 5 from the wall socket after use. This is the only way to ensure that the appliance is completely de-energized.
11. Allow the closed yoghurt pots 2 to cool down slightly and then put them in the refrigerator.

6.3 Ideas for recipes with yoghurt

You can use plain yoghurt to make yoghurt containing fruit or yoghurt with any flavour. There are no limits to your creativity! But do not do this until after you have made the yoghurt, or your recipe will not succeed.

Fruit yoghurt:

Mix in fresh fruit or a product made of fruit such as jam.

Other flavours:

Add vanilla sugar, vanilla, nuts, chocolate sprinkles, nougat, coconut flakes or other flavourings to the yoghurt.

Tsatsiki:

Add chopped cucumber and garlic to the yoghurt as well as a little olive oil.

7. Cleaning

Clean the device prior to its first use!

DANGER! Risk of electric shock!

• Never immerse the appliance in water, and protect it from splashes and water droplets.
