Step 1

Pour milk into a 6-quart Instant Pot and secure lid. Press the Yogurt setting until it reads “Boil.” This cycle will take 35 minutes.

Step 2

Follow manufacturer’s guide for quick release, making sure to wait until cycle is complete before unlocking and removing lid.

Step 3

Check that the milk temperature is at least 180°. If less than 180°, repeat the boil cycle. If 180° or higher, remove inner pot and cool milk in an ice bath until it is between 110° and 115°, checking frequently with an instant read thermometer, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Once milk reaches 110° to 115°, place Greek yogurt in a medium bowl. Remove about a cup of milk and whisk it into yogurt. Whisk yogurt mixture into Instant Pot until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Secure lid and set the Yogurt setting to Normal for 8 to 12 hours.

Step 6

Transfer yogurt to clean containers. Chill until completely set, about 4 hours.
