Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 I have a Gourmet Automatic soy & Nut Milk Maker I got a few years ago and used it a few times, wasn't too crazy about the results and put it away until recently. I added some salt and sugar to it and now its pretty tasty but still grainy even after draining through cheesecloth. The tofu I made with the machine has been grainy also. Do all soymilk machines have similar results? I want to stick with an all soybean recipe. I've heard about the SoyQuick machine, how are the results for that? I really like Silk Unsweeted and would like to make soymilk comparable to that. Thanks Quote
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 I have one that I bought last year. It does have a funny taste, but mine wasn't grainy. I haven't made tofu yet. I have the stuff to make it, but haven't had time. I don't think you can make it taste exactly like store bought, though from what I've read. I put a little salt and vanilla in mine and it's not too bad. I tell you what I do like is the okara (I think that's what it's called). It's the leftover mush. It really is good. I made some sort of pattie with it and pan fried it--yum. With your machine, do you use dry or soaked beans? Supposedly, soaked are better, but I don't know.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Per batch i add 1-8 tsp of fine salt and 2 tbsp sugar, put it in the fridge overnight and the flavor is much better. I do use soaked beans On Sat Feb 6th, 2010 3:01 PM EST Elaine Pollard wrote: >I have one that I bought last year. It does have a funny taste, but mine >wasn't grainy. I haven't made tofu yet.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 I'm not sure what they put in it to make it taste so different. I used to love 8th Continent--especially the chocolate, but I don't think they make that anymore. Or at least they don't sell it near me. Quote
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 I treated myself to a SoyQuick premier for Christmas, to make oat and nut milks. Nothing that I have made so far has turned out grainy. I presume that you sieve the milk after it is done? To date the most successful I have made has been milk made from tiger nuts (chufas) and the hazelnut milk which I made last night. I added a pinch of cinnamon to the tiger nut milk (horchata in Spain) but apart from that I have made no additions. It even seems to freeze well with no ill effects. I haven't got round to making tofu yet, although I do have the soya beans and the kit. Christie Quote
