Hi Mercy.....I have used my soy milk maker to make rice milk. I used brown rice, I toasted it in a dry pan and then soaked it overnight. I did not cook it. The ratio I used was 1/2c rice to 2c water. Your machine will come with a very fine sieve, but I too found the straining the most difficult part of the process. I might buy a nut milk bag for the next batch. I prefer soy milk, but I am sure you'll be able, with a little experimenting, perfect your recipe. There are a lot of different methods discussed on the net. Have fun!

Soy is very high in estrogens which directly causes issues with all endocrine glands INCLUDING the THYROID. Don't let anyone tell you any different. See Dr. Ray Peat.com for more info if you need to read the white papers yourself.

Soy doesn't contribute or cause thyroid problems, it interferes with the medication dosage so your physician needs to know.I haven't tried rice milk yet

I exclusively make rice milk with this machine as my 2 year old is allergic to dairy, soy, coconut/almond/ all tree nuts. I have used both white and brown rice, usually the brown for the health benefit. Machine works like a charm and comes with instructions. Just add about 3/4 cup dry rice- no need to soak, add water, and press the "porridge" button and voila you have rice milk. Season and sweeten ti taste. Rice milk does tend to thicken so i add water periodically to thin it back out.

I know it's been a long time since you've posted this, but I'd like to know if you mean regular cups, or the rice cooker cups? Cause I just learned today that those measurements are different. (Explains why my rice was crunchier than usual the other night when I was too lazy to wash the rice cooker cup.)I was thinking of setting this up to try this weekend, and you're the first one to post what seems to be a reliable recipe.

I tried soy milk but it didn't work very well -- yogurt was runny. You need to add some regular milk.

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk. The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank. I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk. If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers. Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it. (I'd be surprised)

I have not used the tofu maker and doubt that I ever will; however you never know. I may run amuck one of these days. I like to make my own soy milk and it seems that after the soymilk maker was done, I strained out all of the akara, put the soymilk back into the machine and mixed the tofu directly in the maker. I've used the tofu form that came with the soymilk maker and I've used a cute Japanese wooden box--I think that the wood one is the traditional tofu box.

I have tried heating soy milk and it turned a little grayish and separated a little. Almond milk works better.

Haven't tried coconut milk yet. I understand that it is hard to get it thick without adding some sort of thickener. I did try goat's milk and it turned out rather thin. Not sure if I didn't let it go long enough or too long. The goat's milk was also really tart. I'm like you I would like to try some coconut milk. I make coconut milk kefir a lot. It's really good.

Well, I guess the bean paste is too thick for this machine to make. consider this machine will boil/heat the combination of crushed beans, sufficient water is a key element. Too less water will cause demage to the pot itself. I made soy milk with this machine and it works pretty good, every time after the soy milk is filtered out there are some gounded beans left, that is very thick, like a paste. But that is a by-product.

milk is basically liquid meat it has a lot of chemicals in it that are given to the cattle just use New Zealand whey whey that is after everything is spun out and they give no chemicals or products to cattle there it works even if you have a milk allergy what is what you want but I ordered the New Zealand whey you can get it at amazon.com I have no financial interest in this company and I use it all the time for protein muscle milk has I believe and you do not want soy because soy is an estrogen producing product which could cause diseases

i'm not sure if you asking about their other products or if you are asking about the soy sauce itself......soy sauce is made from soy beans its not typically a dairy product.........have you ever used soy sauce before?!

Yes! I have made it many times. Use large shred coconut, & unsweetened. I buy it in bulk. I fill a large (6 cup canning jar) jar half full with lightly packed with coconut, and up to the 6 cup line with water. let soak over night. then in the morning I pour the mix into the machine, make sure the water is to the fill line, and run the soaked bean setting. and then strain with the provided strainer. you can sweeten if you like , add vanilla, or what ever you want. I use the coconut, or almond meal for cooking and baking after. Also, you can experiment with combos of coconut and other nuts. And the amount of nuts or coconut you use is up to you. I have had lots of success with it just playing around with raw versions, or using almond extract. Its a really great kitchen tool over all. My oldest son cant drink dairy, and the amount of money I have saved on making my own milks has more than payed for this machine. We have not made soup with it like they say you can , but I am sure that would be easy to do. Hope that helps!

The instructions say "you can substitute soy, almond or coconut milk for regular milk. Cooking time might need to be augmented for nondairy milk."

Hello there, I am a loyal buyer of the product, but not the manufacturer. I think, though, they are vegan simply because the contents are merely medicinal herbs, along with a glycerine gel-cap. The specific blend of herbs assists with the balancing of the thyroid gland, which appears to be "out" in most people, due to fluoride in the water supply, Fukushima radiation, and nutritional deficiencies. Best of luck to you!

This is great. I use Elaine G's recipe too so this info helps. I wanted to know if I could use 2% lactose-free milk since I'm short on regular. I'm also going to add 5% cream- which I didn't realize had other ingredients in it- like "modified milk ingredients. " If you can make yogurt with soy milk- [which I would never use], I don't see why this wouldn't work. I'll try and see. I have also found keeping the temp. at the simmer point for a minute before cooling and the culturing temp. a little cooler than suggested makes a thicker, firmer result.

I usually put in 1/2 cup beans and fill the water to the top/max line (there are min and max water lines on the container). After filtering the grounds, I get about 4 cups of pretty thick soy milk. I buy soy beans from Bob's red mill(Bob's Red Mill Organic Soy Beans, 24-Ounce). The price is 18.56 for pack of 4 on Amazon with free shipping. So you are looking at about 77 cents for 4 cups of soy milk. I buy Bob's mainly because the calories are lower(I'm trying to lose weight lol~). If you don't mind slightly higher calories, I believe soy beans are actually much cheaper at local farmer/Asian stores. Even Bob's has a non-organic but higher in calories version which is much cheaper at $12.08 on amazon. Also when I was doing the research, someone said to look for Non-GMO beans. Hope it helps~

Anyone have basic non dairy milk recipe's work with this machine? I would love to try coconut milk in a can, premade cashew milk or almond milk, a probiotic capsule and that's it. I have had it work in the oven with light on, incubating for 24 hours, but can't get it to work in this machine.

The input voltage of the soy milk maker is 110 (at least that is what it says on the bottom of the container and that is the voltage of the outlet I plug it into). I can tell that the milk is fully cooked by the taste. If it is not fully cooked, it has a "raw" bean taste. Try chewing on a soaked soybean before putting it into the maker and you will see what I mean. What the maker does is grind the beans into very fine pieces; and, since the pieces are so fine, they cook a lot faster than the whole beans.This is what enables the maker to work so quickly. If you've ever used soy flour or garbanzo flour for cooking, you know that it cooks in a matter of seconds.I hope this has been helpful.
