And it is in all models, without exception, since after the end of cooking each multicooker is simply obliged to keep the food warm until it is turned off from the network.

All you need is milk and sourdough. The latter can be purchased at supermarkets or pharmacies in your city. Sales of starter yogurt starters are also actively developing via the Internet in specialized online stores. This starter is a dry powder in the package that you just need to dilute with milk. As a starter, it is quite possible to use ready-made yoghurt bought in a store. It is only important that it be a natural living product, and not “something” from the category of cheap surrogates.
Product Tips:
Milk. It can be as pasteurized (from the package), and homemade. Yoghurt made from high-fat milk has a more dense texture and a richer flavor, but is not suitable for a diet menu.

Now in the offers from manufacturers you can see the starter cultures of various species - for example, with lactic and bifidobacteria or symbiotic. For yogurt, which will be prepared in a slow cooker, any of them will do. Before use, be sure to read the instructions for packaging - there are clearly painted proportions and sequence of actions. Shop yogurt.

Cooking yogurt in a slow cooker: a step-by-step recipe with photos
And now we present you a master class with step-by-step photos from which you will learn how to cook yogurt in the Vitesse VS-525 multicooker. There is no special program for yogurt in it, but there is a universal heating function.
Products:
Cooking Shop Activia yoghurt in this case will serve as a leaven. It should be put in a wide bowl, pour the same milk (it can be directly from the refrigerator) and stir the mass with a broom until the yogurt is completely dissolved in the milk.
Now you just need to pour the milk into clean glass jars or glasses. Choose dishes of this size so that it can be put in the multicooker bowl. In any case, the capacity of the jars should not exceed 0.5 liters.
At the bottom of the multicooker bowl pour some water at room temperature. Cover each jar from above with cling film (it is better to take a film for microwave ovens). Put them in a slow cooker and close the pan with a lid. If you have a lid with a valve (it is on multi-cookers that can cook under pressure), then you do not need to install it in a sealed position, and you can even completely remove it.
Connect the multicooker to the network and enter it into the “Heating” mode. Now you just have to wait until the yogurt is ready. This will happen in about 4-6 hours. You can periodically remove the lid during the cooking process and see if it has reached the desired condition. Remove the yogurt jar from the multicooker and tilt it slightly to the side: ready-made yogurt will not flow out of it, as it will get a jelly-like consistency. If the contents of the jar remain liquid, then put it back in the slow cooker - let it heat itself further. Upon completion, the yogurt is removed from the slow cooker, allowed to cool and put in the refrigerator. In principle, it can be eaten immediately, but it is tastier when cold. When serving, add fresh, frozen or canned berries, pieces of fruit to the table, pour syrup from jam or chocolate sauce.
In the same way, you can cook yogurt in other models of the Vitesse multicooker, as well as in the Redmond, Polaris, Orion, Supra, Mulinex multicookers and all the rest.
The yoghurt recipe that we have offered here has been tested on personal experience. So you must be able to do it. Finally we will give some more tips and tricks:
jars of milk and sourdough before installing in a slow cooker, be sure to cover with cling film - do not miss this moment. The fact is that in the process of heating condensate will accumulate under the cover of the multicooker, and it is undesirable that it gets into containers with yogurt; ferment yogurt right in the bowl from which you will eat it later. If you shift it - for example, from a jar to a creamer - then it just breaks down and looks like sour kefir. This is perfectly normal - just such a delicate texture. So do not worry and do not think that the problem is the quality of milk or yeast. But even with an unsightly appearance, it will remain unreal tasty. And the problem of lumps can be solved, after all, beating the “broken” yogurt with a broom or mixer at low speed; when introducing fruit puree or berry mass into ready-made yogurt, keep in mind that its consistency will become thinner.

Homemade Sourdough Yogurt
To make a delicious homemade yogurt, it is not necessary to buy ready-made starters - any live product without fillers from the store is perfect.
150 ml jars are enough to ferment 1 liter of milk. Most importantly, look at the date of manufacture.
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of UHT milk 1.5% fat
- 1 jar of live yogurt 150 ml.
Cooking
Mix the contents of the jar and milk whisk. Beat is not necessary, as long as the consistency is homogeneous and no lumps remain. Pour into jars that fit in the multicooker bowl. Screw caps. It is especially convenient to use tall jars of baby puree. If the jars are of different sizes - it is not scary.
At the bottom of the multi-cooker bowl, lay a towel folded in several layers.
Put the banks. If they, like me, of a different volume, substitute something so that the covers are on the same level. Pour water at room temperature so that it reaches the caps.
Put the yogurt in the slow cooker, close the lid and turn on the “yogurt” mode for 8 hours (this is my standard time, the slow cooker REDMOND RMC-M90). It is best to put a slow cooker with yogurt at night, so that in the morning you can have breakfast with delicious homemade yogurt.
- Superpasteurized milk is best suited. It is sterile, but at the same time, retains all the beneficial properties of natural milk.
- Choose milk with the fat content that is optimal for you. For children, it is better to use milk with a fat content of 1.5%. Even if you go on a diet, do not limit the amount of fat. Remember the need and do not go beyond the norm. If you eliminate fats completely, the body will react negatively.
- Sterilizing jars before making homemade yogurt in a slow cooker requires that “harmful” bacteria not enter the product. Tell your friends and family how easy it is to cook yogurt in a slow cooker, how this dietary product is tasty. Attract those who are not indifferent to a healthy diet!
