Instructions

  1. 1 Turn a self-cleaning oven on for 10 minutes at the lowest temperature, about 170 degrees F (77 degrees C). Turn the oven off and keep door closed to gently heat the oven walls, about 50 minutes.
  2. 2 Pour milk into a heavy pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until an instant-read thermometer registers 185 degrees F (85 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Let cool to 115 degrees F (46 degrees C).
  3. 3 Mix 1 cup of cooled milk and yogurt together in a bowl until incorporated. Pour back into the pot of milk and stir to combine. Ladle the milk mixture into 5 very clean glass canning jars and screw on the lids.
  4. 4 Place the filled jars into the warm oven; leave the oven off and turn the oven light on. Leave the jars inside the closed oven for 6 hours. Remove the jars without shaking and place in the refrigerator until thickened, about 2 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour milk into a pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes; do not let it boil over.
  2. 2 Remove from the heat and let sit until you can leave your finger dipped into the milk for 10 to 15 seconds without it burning, 30 to 60 minutes. Pour in yogurt; there's no need to stir.
  3. 3 Put the lid on the pot and carefully wrap a blanket around it. Place the wrapped pot in a slightly warm place where it will be undisturbed for 6 to 10 hours; overnight is best. Then transfer to the refrigerator to allow the yogurt to continue to thicken.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place four 10-ounce jars in a slow cooker. Fill the slow cooker with water up to 1/3 inch of the jar rims. Remove the jars and set aside.
  2. 2 Cover the slow cooker and preheat on High for about 20 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, pour milk and milk powder into a saucepan and whisk to dissolve. Heat over medium heat until just steaming and a thermometer reads 179 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and place the bottom of the pan into a bowl of ice water. Cool milk mixture until the temperature drops to 114 degrees F (46 degrees C). Lift the pan out of the ice water.
  4. 4 Measure about 1 cup milk mixture and pour into a bowl. Stir in yogurt until thoroughly blended. Return yogurt mixture to milk mixture in the pan. Pour milk-yogurt mixture into the 4 glass jars, filling up to 1/2 inch of the rims.
  5. 5 Check that the water temperature in the slow cooker is no higher than 114 degrees F (46 degrees C). If it is cooler, cover and allow to come to temperature. If it is too hot, uncover and turn off the slow cooker.
  6. 6 Set filled jars in the warm water; the water level should be up to the level of yogurt in the jars. Cover with a folded dish towel and then with the slow cooker lid.
  7. 7 Turn slow cooker off. Allow to set for 6 hours, keeping the water at 114 degrees F (46 degrees C) as best you can. Check the temperature with your thermometer after about 2 hours, taking care not to disturb yogurt. If lower than 114 degrees F (46 degrees C), turn the slow cooker to Warm for 10 minutes, then shut off again. Check temperature again at the 4-hour mark and repeat. Do not stir or poke yogurt at all during this time.
  8. 8 Check yogurt after 6 hours by pressing gently on the top or tipping the jars to see if it is set; it is done when yogurt is firm and there is a thin layer of yellowish liquid on the top.
  9. 9 Remove the jars from water and dry them off. Top with clean lids and place in the refrigerator.
