I
visited my parents for a weekend recently, and I made them a batch of yogurt. I
tried out the double boiler method to prevent the the milk from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot. They
have a larger supply of pots than I do, so it was a good place to try this! I
did stir the milk occasionally, but I never once began to feel burnt milk
building up on the bottom. This definitely is a good idea in order
to make yogurt-making a more hands-off project. I left the milk on
the stove, and whenever I happened to pass through the kitchen, I stirred it. Once I inoculated it with starter yogurt, I
left the milk incubating between two pots of boiling water covered in towels
and went back home. I asked my mother to put it in the fridge the next morning.
But before she did, she added it to her breakfast smoothie! After the yogurt was transferred to a container, I received a report that there was no burnt milk stuck to the bottom.
