You can make yogurt either with the inner pot or use glass boles. The 
process to make yogurt involves two steps. The rst step is to 
pasteurize the milk by heang it to 180° F/83° C. This serves two 
purposes: (1) killing pathogens and harmful bacteria which can grow 
during the fermentaon period, and (2) denaturaon of milk proteins, 
which prevents curding of milk and makes the proteins easier to 
absorb. 
Instant Pot provides two convenient ways to heat your milk. If you use 
the inner pot to make yogurt, press “Yogurt” then “Adjust” to “More” 
mode when you will see the word “boil” on the display. Instant Pot will 
then boil the milk to 180° F/83° C. When it’s done, it beeps and 
displays “yogt”.  
If you use a container or boles to make yogurt, you can steam the 
milk by: adding 1 cup of water in the inner pot, pung in the steam 
rack and placing your container or boles on top of the rack. Select 
the “Steam” funcon and set the me for 1 minute. Once the process 
is over, use the “Natural Release” method to release the steam. 
The second step aer heang the milk is to let it cool to below 115°
F/46°C, if you don’t have a thermometer, wait unl the milk is 
lukewarm. Then add an adequate amount of yogurt starter or fresh 
yogurt. If you use a container or boles, you can place them in the 
inner pot without adding any addional water. Press the “Yogurt” 
funcon key, and adjust the me using the “+” and “-“ keys based on 
the instrucons of the yogurt starter. The program automacally starts 
in 10 seconds. When the program completes, Instant Pot beeps, 
displays “yogt” and goes to standby state.  
The yogurt can be served plain together with other dishes (e.g. curry), 
or mixed with honey or jam to make a fruit yogurt. 
 
Jiu Niang, also known as fermented glunous rice, is a sweet and mildly alcoholic delicacy of Asia. 
It is highly nutrious and easy to digest, commonly used to make desserts in China, Japan, Korean 
and other Asian countries. Glunous rice, also known as scky rice, is used in making Jiu Niang. 
Glunous rice contains high concentraon of starch which is converted to sugars during 
fermentaon.  
1.  Soak two cups of glunous rice in cold water for at least 5 hours unl the rice grains can 
easily be broken with ngers.  
2.  Drain the water and wrap the soaked rice with cheese cloth and put it into a steaming 
basket. Place the basket on top of the steam rack (trivet) and add 2 cups of water into the 
inner pot. Run the “Steam” funcon for 30 minutes. Use Natural Release method.
