LAKELAND MULTI YOGHURT MAKER

Thank you for choosing the Lakeland Multi Yoghurt Maker.

Please take a little time to read this booklet before you use your machine and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

You can make fresh and healthy home-made plain yoghurt, Greek-style yoghurt and soft cheese with the Lakeland Multi Yoghurt Maker.

Delicious and nutritious, with no artificial sweeteners, additives or preservatives; yoghurt is a great probiotic snack packed with calcium and live bacteria. Use whole milk for thicker creamier yoghurt, semi skimmed or skimmed milk for yoghurt with fewer calories, or strain plain yoghurt to make creamy tangy Greek-style yoghurt.

The Multi Yoghurt Maker is really simple to use, just a small portion of plain natural yogurt stirred into warm milk begins the transformation. You can make a batch overnight in as little as 8 hours, or stir a little lemon juice into milk to make soft cheese in 10 hours.

Flavour your yoghurt with fruit, nuts and honey, or eat plain. You can also use it as an ingredient in herby dips, dressings and smoothies.

Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same excellent quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the company back in the 1960s.

Our products are hand-picked and thoroughly tested so you can be sure that everything you purchase will be a pleasure to use for many years to come.

MAKING PLAIN YOGHURT

Yoghurt makes yoghurt! Yoghurt is a live milk product, which can reproduce itself in warm conditions. Easy and inexpensive to make at home, all you need is some natural live yoghurt and milk to get started.

In addition to the Multi Yoghurt Maker, you will need a food thermometer, heat-proof bowl, pan and whisk.

Once you have tasted your first batch, you can adjust the time setting on the Multi Yoghurt Maker to suit your taste. The longer the time it is heated, the tarter it will become. The starter yoghurt you have chosen will also affect the final flavour, try a few different yoghurts to find which gives the flavour you prefer.

GUIDE TO TIMINGS

Different types of milk take different amounts of time to turn into yoghurt. You will need to set the time on the Multi Yoghurt Maker according to the milk you use.

Whole milk = 8 hours

Semi-skimmed milk = 10 hours

Skimmed milk = 12 hours

Non-dairy milks will require more time

QUANTITIES REQUIRED

	Starter Yoghurt Milk
Large Container (1.8L) 165ml	1485ml
Small Container (1.6L) 150ml	1350ml
Greek Yoghurt (1L) 100ml 900ml

- Turn your Multi Yoghurt Maker on to preheat for a few minutes before you start. Make sure the containers are removed and the lid is on the Multi Yoghurt Maker.

• Take the starter yoghurt (natural plain live yoghurt) from the fridge so it has time to warm up closer to room temperature while you are preparing the milk.

- Measure the milk for the container you are using (see above). Add this to a saucepan, bring to the boil and immediately remove from the heater. Use a whisk to mix the milk occasionally, - this helps make thicker yoghurt. Then leave to cool down to 32°C to 43°C. Check with a cooking thermometer to make sure it has cooled to the correct temperature. Remove any 'skin' which has formed on top.

- Measure the starter yoghurt for the container you are using (see above) and gently whisk into the cooled milk. The fresher the starter the better, so check the 'Use By' date. Take care not to whip or beat the mixture too vigorously - the consistency should be smooth with no lumps.

- Pour the mixture into the container and add the cover. Place the container inside the heater and add the lid. It should fit snugly on top.

- Turn on the Multi Yoghurt Maker and select C-1, set the time for 8-12 hours depending on the type of milk you are using.

- Leave the Multi Yoghurt Maker undisturbed until the end of the cycle. Many people find it convenient to make yoghurt overnight, switching on the machine before they go to bed. When the Multi Yoghurt Maker has finished the display will show '00h' and the power light will go out.

- At the end of the cycle, switch off and unplug the Multi Yoghurt Maker. Do not leave yoghurt in the Multi Yoghurt Maker after the timer has finished. Remove the lid slowly as condensation forms during heating. Take care, the heater base and the container will be hot. Use an oven glove or cloth when removing the container.

- There may be a small amount of liquid (whey) on top of the yoghurt in the container. This is normal. Stir the yoghurt in the container and replace the cover. Put the container in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

- Enjoy as a plain yoghurt or flavour with our serving suggestions.

- WARNING: Do not keep yoghurt in the refrigerator for more than 4 days after you have made it. Do not use expired milk or expired yoghurt in the Multi Yoghurt Maker, only use fresh ingredients.

MAKING GREEK-STYLE YOGHURT

Greek style yoghurt has a creamier, thicker texture. Removing the whey creates a healthier yoghurt with less sugar and a higher protein density.

- To turn the plain yoghurt into Greek-style yoghurt it needs to be strained through the strainer included.

- The strainer has a capacity of 1 litre so if you only want to make Greek Style Yoghurt, make plain yoghurt in the quantities in the table on previous page.

- Remove the plain yoghurt from the fridge after cooling for 3 hours.

- Place the strainer inside the large container, pour in the plain yoghurt. Place in the fridge to strain for 6 hours. The longer you strain the plain yoghurt, the more whey will drain into the container and the thicker the resulting yoghurt will be.

• After 6 hours you will have Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy plain, flavour with our serving suggestions, or use as an ingredient in other recipes.

MAKING SOFT CHEESE

To make a soft ricotta-style cheese, mix 1000ml of whole milk and 50-60ml of lemon juice in the small blue container.

- Put the container and cover into the heater.

- Add the lid.

- Turn on the Multi Yoghurt Maker and select C-1, set the time for 10 hours.

- Once the appliance has finished, remove the container and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

- Place the strainer inside the large container, pour in the mixture. Place in the fridge to strain for 6 hours.

- Enjoy plain, flavour with herbs, or use as an ingredient in other recipes.

A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS AND HINTS AND TIPS

THE STARTER

• Use unflavoured plain natural yoghurt, the freshest available with a long 'Use By' date. The probiotics in the starter yoghurt are what helps turn the milk into yoghurt.
• If you make yoghurt regularly, save some of the unflavoured yoghurt from your last batch to start your next. If you do this, ensure you don't save it too long or the probiotics can weaken and the yoghurt won't set. We only recommend doing this for 2-3 batches in a row. Then use a fresh starter.
• Yoghurt with flavouring or fruit in it, or a liquid yoghurt will not work as a starter.

THE MILK

• After boiling your milk, check with a cooking thermometer to make sure it has cooled to the correct temperature.
• To make thicker yoghurt you can try adding 2 tablespoons of powdered milk to the milk before boiling. Add more if you would like your yoghurt thicker.
• You can experiment with making yoghurt between 39^ to 45^ .
• Yoghurt made with semi skimmed or skimmed milk will have a thinner consistency.
• Yoghurt can be made with other types of milk. You can experiment with evaporated, goat's, ewe's, soya, almond or coconut milk instead of pasturised dairy milk. These milks will take a longer time to make into yoghurt. Calories, fat content and flavour will vary with the type of milk chosen.
• If experimenting with untreated goat's or ewe's milk, bring to the boil and simmer for 7 minutes before cooling.
• Long-life UHT, evaporated and powdered milk have already been treated and do not need boiling. Use at room temperature, not straight from the fridge.

THE LOCATION

• Yoghurt will take longer to make in a cool, draughty room. If possible, choose a draught-free position.
• Movement will cause separation and uneven texture so avoid moving the Multi Yoghurt Maker when in use and do not place it on top of a source of vibration e.g. fridge or washing machine.
• Keep the Multi Yoghurt Maker away from heat sources such as ovens and stovetops. Do not place it on a shelf above a radiator.
• Tempting as it may be, do not lift the cover or disturb the Multi Yoghurt Maker until it has finished, this will disturb the yoghurt making process.

USING YOGHURT IN RECIPES

• Spoon over muesli and drizzle with runny honey.
• Try flavourings such as puréed tinned fruit, chopped nuts, maple syrup or vanilla extract. Liquid flavourings will dilute the yoghurt.
• Yoghurt makes a cool, creamy accompaniment to savoury dishes like curries and chilli con carne. Add fresh chopped herbs, garlic, chilli or ground spices such as cumin, turmeric or coriander.
• Fresh yoghurt makes a smooth base for salad dressings, dips, seafood sauce, cucumber raita and toppings for jacket potatoes.

BAKING WITH YOGHURT

• You can experiment using yoghurt as a healthy substitute when baking. Low-fat yoghurt (made with semi skimmed or skimmed milk) can be used to reduce or replace shortening, oil, butter or sour cream. It adds a creamy texture to your recipes.
• When a recipe calls for butter, replace 12 the butter with half as much yoghurt. For instance, instead of 1 cup of butter, use 12 cup of butter and 14 cup of yoghurt.
• When a recipe calls for shortening or oil, replace half the oil with 34 the amount of yoghurt. For example, instead of 1 cup oil, use 12 cup of oil and 34 cup of yoghurt.
• Substitute yoghurt for sour cream in recipes, in the same quantities.
• Yoghurt can even replace some of the water or milk in a recipe. Start by substituting 14 of the liquid with yoghurt. The result will be creamier.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: Why are the lights on the display panel not working?

Answer: Make sure the Multi Yoghurt Maker is plugged into the wall socket and turned on.

Question: Why is my yoghurt not the correct consistency?

Answer: The starter yoghurt may have been added to the milk before it had properly cooled, which has killed the probiotics.

Question: Why is my yoghurt very thick and smells peculiar?

Answer: The temperature could have been too high or the time set for too long.

The ingredients used could be past their 'Use By' date, if in doubt, do not eat the yoghurt.

The milk may not have been brought to a full boil before mixing the starter in.

The yoghurt mixture may have been ‘over mixed’ before being put in the Multi Yoghurt Maker.

The Multi Yoghurt Maker may not have been turned on or set for the correct amount of time. Try setting it for longer.

If you used yoghurt from a previous batch as a starter, you might have saved it for too long. After a few days the probiotics in the previous batch can weaken and could make a yoghurt with too liquid of a consistency. We recommend only using the previous batch as a starter for 2-3 more batches. You can freeze your home-made starter to make it last longer.

The yoghurt used as a starter may not be fresh enough and the probiotics could have weakened too much to turn the milk to yoghurt.

The yoghurt starter needs to sit at room temperature before mixing it with the milk.

The temperature in the room may be too low.

Question: Why does my yoghurt taste strange?

Answer: The starter yoghurt or milk may have expired.

Flavoured yoghurt may have been used as a starter instead of plain yoghurt.

The yoghurt may have been left in the Multi Yoghurt Maker too long and overheated.

Question: Why is a liquid (whey) collecting on the surface of the yoghurt?

Answer: A little liquid is normal, try mixing it into the yoghurt.

The milk may have been overheated causing it to separate.

The yoghurt may have been left in the Multi Yoghurt Maker too long and overheated. If there is a lot of liquid you can pour it off.

The Multi Yoghurt Maker may have been moved, stirred or bumped during heating, or could have become too warm.

For best results, don't stir or move while in use and keep away from hot surfaces.

Question: Why is my Greek yoghurt the wrong consistency after straining?

Answer: The Greek yoghurt may have been strained too long, if it is too thin, it has not been strained long enough.

If it is too thick, stir a few tablespoons of whey back into the yoghurt. If it is too thin, strain it again.

Question: Why does my yoghurt have a grainy texture?

Answer: The milk was overheated. Take the milk off the heat immediately after it has boiled to temperature.
