Frequently Asked Questions - SJB 15 A1 SILVERCREST

How long does it take to make yogurt in the SilverCrest SJB 15 A1?

Typically, fermentation takes between 8 and 12 hours, depending on the desired tanginess and room temperature. The timer can be set up to 15 hours.

Can I use UHT milk instead of fresh milk?

Yes, UHT milk works well. Just ensure it is at room temperature before adding starter culture.

How do I clean the yogurt maker?

The glass jars and lids are dishwasher safe. The base should be wiped with a damp cloth; never immerse in water.

Why is my yogurt runny?

Runny yogurt may result from insufficient fermentation time, low temperature, or using too little starter culture. Try increasing time or using a thicker milk.

Can I make Greek yogurt with this machine?

Yes, after fermentation, strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth for a few hours to remove whey and achieve a thicker Greek-style yogurt.

Does the yogurt maker shut off automatically?

Yes, it has an automatic shut-off after the set timer expires, so you don't have to worry about over-fermentation.

What is the capacity of each jar?

Each glass jar holds approximately 180 ml, making a total capacity of 1.5 liters for 7 jars.

Can I use non-dairy milk like soy or almond?

Yes, but results may vary. Non-dairy milks often require a thickening agent like agar-agar or a longer fermentation time to set properly.

How do I store the yogurt after making it?

Transfer the jars to the refrigerator immediately after fermentation. The yogurt will keep for up to 10 days in a sealed container.

What should I do if the appliance doesn't turn on?

Check that the power cord is plugged securely and the outlet works. If it still doesn't turn on, contact SilverCrest customer service for assistance.

7.1 This is how yoghurt is made

To make your own yoghurt you will need:

- 1 l 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.

7.2 Making plain yoghurt

1. Boil 1 | 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.

5. Put the pots in the base section 3.

6. Put the lid 1 on the base section 3.

7. 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.

10.Switch the appliance off.

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket after use. This is the only way to ensure that the appliance is completely de-energized.

2. Allow the closed pots to cool down slightly and then put them in the refrigerator.

7.3 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.
