INTRODUCTION

The Cuisinart Electronic Yogurt Maker takes the guesswork out of making yogurt at home. Simply mix together the ingredients and pour them into the yogurt container, letting the yogurt maker do the rest. You will love the ready-to-eat chilled results. Homemade yogurt is a healthy and more economical option to store-bought yogurt. Not only a great source of protein and calcium, yogurt also contains probiotics, or good bacteria, that are crucial for a healthy digestive system.

Either plain or flavored, yogurt is the perfect anytime food to enjoy alone, with granola, or in your morning smoothie. Yogurt is also a great ingredient to have on hand in the kitchen for delicious and moist baked goods, as a secret ingredient to marinades for meat and poultry, and also the perfect vehicle for soups and sauces

    8 hours is the default starting point but refer to recipes for more specific guidelines. Note: In the case that the yogurt maker is accidentally turned off during the cooling process, it is possible to skip fermentation and proceed directly to cooling mode. To do so, scroll down past 1 hour and the LED will display “C”. Once Start is pressed, the cooling mode will begin.

Tips and Hints

Cultures and Fermentation
The taste, texture, and consistency of your yogurt will depend on the type of culture that is used. Each type of culture contains different bacteria strains with individual properties that affect the tang and taste of the yogurt as well as its texture. Some yogurts are meant to be thin and runny whereas others are meant to be thick. Yogurt can be fermented from a purchased culture or from yogurt that is either store-bought or homemade with a reusable culture. Use only one type of culture per batch of yogurt.

Mixing cultures may force different bacteria that are not meant to coexist to compete with one another instead of properly fermenting. Fermenting times vary depending on the type of culture used. There are two types of yogurt cultures – direct-set and reusable. These two types of cultures also vary depending on yogurt flavor – Bulgarian, Piima, Greek, etc. The Cuisinart® Electronic Yogurt Maker uses thermophilic culture. Thermophilic (heat-loving) culture needs an elevated temperature to ferment as opposed to mesophilic culture, which is best suited to ferment at room temperature.

If you are unaware of what type of culture you have, check the ingredient list of the culture or ask your supplier. When fermenting with store-bought yogurt, the average fermentation time is 6 hours. The fermenting time can always be increased or decreased while the yogurt maker is in operation.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning Accessories and Housing/Base:
Rinse the yogurt container, yogurt container lid, and housing lid immediately after each use so the food doesn’t dry on them. All can be washed with warm soapy water or on the top rack of the dishwasher. Wipe the housing/base clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the base or the plug in water or other liquids.

Storage
The Cuisinart Electronic Yogurt Maker stores neatly on the countertop in a minimum space. When it is not in use, store the unit assembled to prevent loss of parts. The Cuisinart Electronic Yogurt Maker is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Any service other than cleaning and normal user maintenance should be performed by an authorized Cuisinart Service Representative.
