The one I’m looking at doesn’t have the yogurt function but I figure I could improvise. I’m going to practice in the next few days making it in my standard crockpot. It’s actually a really simple process, it’s just keeping the yogurt warm for eight hours and at the right temperature for incubation That I was wondering about. Or whatever it’s called while it thickens.. Anyway, I figure if I can get a good product out of my standard crockpot, the instant pot warming function should work just fine.
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.
