It may seem silly that you need to use store-bought yogurt to make your own homemade yogurt, but you need the live active cultures in the store-bought version as a starter. The good news: once you make your own yogurt, you can use it to start the next batch, and so on. You will need a candy thermometer for this one, to make sure the milk gets to the right temperature on the stovetop before it goes into the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker.

Directions

  • Step 1

    Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 115°F (46.1°C).

  • Step 3

    Stir in the yogurt, seal with lid, and place in the water bath. Set the timer for 24 hours. Cover the water bath with plastic wrap to minimize water evaporation. Add water intermittently to keep the jar submerged.
