[quote=Anonymous][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]

Making yogurt can be so easy and hands off though. I have a yogurt machine I got off Amazon so to make yogurt, you pour the milk in, stir in your starting culture/yogurt, and push a button. Do this in the morning and then at the end of the day transfer your yogurt to the fridge or the strainer if you want thicker yogurt (bonus, the whey that drains make for amazing biscuits!). Then voila, the next morning you have yogurt. [/quote]
