Heat Milk to 180°F - 200°F to denature the protein. This takes roughly 40 minutes. The Instant Pot screen will change to “YOGT” when the boiling is done.

Check the milk temperature with an instant read thermometer in a few spots to make sure the milk is over 180°F. Stir with a silicone spatula.

If the milk is not over 180°F, close the lid and heat the milk with the "Slow Cook Less" function for another 15 minutes.

After the milk is heated over 180°F, place plain yogurt with Active Bacterial Cultures into a heatproof bowl or measuring cup. Do not add the yogurt starter to the hot milk, as it will kill the bacterial cultures.

Cool Milk to 113°F: Leave the pot on counter-top and wait until the milk cools to 113°F, or quickly cool in a cold water bath while stirring. Water bath will take 2 to 4 minutes.

Ladle cooled milk into the yogurt bowl/cup. Gently mix it with the measuring spoon. Pour the yogurt milk mixture in the inner pot and give it a few gentle stirs with a silicone spatula.

Place inner pot back in the Instant Pot. Use the Yogurt Normal Function to incubate the yogurt. Adjust the time to 8 to 12 hours, with longer time being tangier. Be careful not to move the Instant Pot around until the yogurt has set.

Once the yogurt has reached your desired tangy level, remove the inner pot of yogurt and place it in the fridge for a few hours to stop the incubating process. The yogurt will also thicken a little.

Transfer yogurt into containers or if you want to thicken it, strain it using cheesecloth or coffee filters.
