More On Pasteurizing in the Instant Pot

9/18/2018

I think I have the instant pot pasteurization thing figured out. I upgraded my instant pot to one that does yogurt. I'm getting about 3 quarts in the morning to pasteurize and found that straight out of the goat it takes 22 minutes to bring the milk to 165 degrees. If I leave it for the whole cycle it will go to 185 which is fine for drinking but too hot for cheese making. So if I am saving up milk to make cheese I can use a timer and make it more accurate. I don't know why yogurt makers pasteurize at 185 for yogurt but this is much cheaper than buying a pasteurizer for upwards of 350.00 if you can even find one.

*On an added note: Here is my homemade cheese press. Wonderful husband priceless. Out of pocket cost was 10$ for the springs from Amazon. Thanks Bennie!
