Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 I did some reading that maybe Carageenan isn't good for us to eat and after finding out that Silk was owned by the dairy company I switched to Vitasoy - then vitasoy added carageenan so I switched to vitasoy in the box. I think it tastes great! Melinda >>>I still buy Silk, though. It is good stuff. Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Speaking of cheaper soymilk, I've been thinking in investing in a soymilk maker. I figure it'll pay for itself in about a year... but is the product from a home soymilk maker actually good? I like unsweetened Silk or Westbrae, if that makes a difference. Thanks! -kt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 We got a soymilk maker and figure it paid for itself in weeks, not years. You can make milk from about any kind of nut or grain, and adjust the recipe however you like. I often mix in a little millet for a smoother texture (but not too much--millet adds a bit of bitter too) and sweeten it to taste.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 There is something that you can use to make your own soy milk? I have never seen something like that, but I would love to get it! Where do you get it at? Erika admartin5 wrote: Does your maker strain the milk?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Some soy flour I bought recently has a recipe for making soy milk. It doesn't use a machine, but it has precipate/sludge at the bottom. It didn't taste as good as Silk or Walmart soy milk. .... Be kind. Be of good cheer.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Yes, we got it from VegWeb online for about $100; I don't know the brand, it's Japanese I guess, it works very well and makes close to a half-gallon in about 20 minutes. The only thing you have to be vigilant about is cleaning the strainer afterwards. It's very fine and you need to clean it with a toothbrush before the okara dries on. We often make a dip out of the okara with garlic and spices and spread it on crackers for lunch, too. ------ Does your maker strain the milk?

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 My concern with making your own soymilk is that it will not be fortified. > - > DJ > > Thursday, May 25, 2006 7:47 AM > Re: soymilk > > > We got a soymilk maker and figure it paid for itself > in weeks, not years.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Just take vitamins. LOL It is better for you, when it is freshly made and has nothing else added to it, especially sugar.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Make sure you use unsweetened unflavored for things like mashed potatoes. You don't want sweet vanilla potatoes.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I use soy milk for everything. When a recipe calls for milk.....I use Silk. Works of me. Sue ---- placidazure1 9/29/2007 6:27:49 PM Soymilk Hey all,I've recently been gravitating more towards vegetarian cooking,and would like to know if anyone cooks with soymilk? I'd like to substitute soymilk in recipes if I can.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Renny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
