[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went through a brief period making yogurt in the instapot and I don’t see what the fuss was. It's not very thick, and no cheaper than buying it. I prefer the thick Icelandic skyr. Am I missing something? [/quote]

Nope. You are not missing anything. [/quote]

The only reason people make their own yogurt is to tell people they make their own yogurt. [/quote]

Maybe they want to avoid microplastics or they go through a lot of it. DIY is way more affordable. [/quote]

it’s not really any more affordable though. [/quote]

It is. I make enough for at least a week of daily breakfast using less than a gallon of $3.89 milk. If you could direct me to plain whole milk yogurt cheaper than that, I’d love to know brand/source.[/quote]

I went through a brief period making yoghurt in the instapot. From what I remember, the yoghurt was comparable to the Brown Cow yoghurt in texture and flavor. At the time those were selling for $1 a pot in the supermarket. I was paying $4-5 for a gallon of good organic milk. Plus you still had to buy a yoghurt to start the batch. The outcome was maybe a few dollars savings per week. It wasn't worth the hassle.

Totally fine, I 100% get not wanting the hassle (I could not be bothered to make tomato sauce and plenty of other things from scratch). But Brown Cow appears to currently be $5 for 32 oz, so using half a gallon of $3.89 milk is cheaper, if not easier.[/quote]

Yeah for many people 2 days worth of waiting and effort isn’t worth a couple dollars of savings. Me included. [/quote]
