Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share 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 Share 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 Share 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.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
