So far, my husband is the Instant Pot engineer here, so I’m not sure - but it seems to only have a sort of low-med-high gauge for the manual ‘saute’ function; and low may be too high and imprecise for yogurt. I’m sure there’s someone out there doing it, though.
The first time I made yogurt, I didn’t use any equipment; just heated the milk and set it in a wrapped-up bowl in a warm place.
I think you’re right, that little might be too warm. I’ve been reading directions on the Internet on how to use a crockpot and you only use the heat function to heat up the crock for a short while. And then stick the incubated milk in there cover it with a towel and let it sit with the heat off.
The one I’m looking at does have a warm function, but I’ll have to figure out what temperature that is first.
Maybe it would be nice to buy the one with the yogurt function after all. It’s only 20 bucks more. But it does say you can can in it, pressure can, which I don’t see the others as saying. Happy just asked this morning what I want for a Christmas present, so I am mulling this over. It’s either that or an alpaca. They are awfully cute. But since they are herd animals I would probably need three.
You are right. If you get the yogurt mix warmed up I would just sit it in the oven overnight and it would stay warm enough
