For those that make yogurt with the IP do you boil the milk in the pot or in individual containers?
I’ve been using the IP to make yoghurt since I bought it, but I don’t boil the milk in it, I prefer to use the cuisine companion for that, after the mixture is done I pour the yoghurt to the glass jars and then I put them on the IP using the yogurt function.
Last week my cuisine companion was out of work so I decided to try and boil the milk in the IP, in the instruction manual it says that the milk can be put on containers over the trivet and adding water to the bottom of the IP, so I did just that.
When I opened the IP there was milk in the bottom mixed with the water, I thought the milk had boiled and spilled, I lifted the glass jar to place it on the counter to let it cool and when I had just cleared the IP walls the bottom of the jar fell, the milk spilled all over the counter and the floor and I was standing there with the jar in my hand thinking what just happened? I lifted the second jar and it also had no bottom, so that was why there was milk on the IP.
I used the same glass jars I use every time, and they are jars for canning so they are heat resistant, I can’t understand what happened, I just know that it was a nightmare to clean all the spill milked, because the IP was on the stovetop, so the milk spread in the counter, in the drawers, had to remove everything from the drawer, and the induction stovetop started beeping and lights flashing, I think some had run below the stovetop.
I would like to try again but I’m afraid it will happen again since I don’t know what caused it, I don’t what to boil the milk in the pot so I don’t have to clean it between boiling and making the yoghurt, has I prefer to make it in portions rather then having to divide it after
