Does anyone know if this is suitable for cracking/dehulling soy beans? I'm looking to make tempeh.

I don't know for sure but if you start low setting and progressively mill to whatever texture you seek should work.

You won't be able to use this with soy beans. Soy beans are oily and the oil will cause the grinder to clog. The instructions also mention this if you are able to access the instructions online.

I have not made soy milk,only almond milk and didn't have to pour it thru a cheese cloth because the container that hold nuts/beans has tiny holes ,kinda like a coffee pot that hold grinds ,when you pou r it out it's strained...a great thing!!!

I've used it to grind nutmeg, and it works pretty well. You need to put more than one nut into the chamber for it to work well (and it gets pretty noisy), but it will grind it up.

I would certainly think this bender would handle soaked lentils with ease. I use it to make peanut butter and since it is heavy-duty enough to grind roasted nuts, it should have no problem with lentils. I also grind cashews for recipes with the blender. I make batters for waffles using canned garbanzo beans and rolled oats.

Sort of. I mash grains in mine. Max temp i use is 75 C. The inner liner begins to buck and warp a bit at that temp so I wouldn't recommend going higher.

I read the same thing before I made the purchase. I only use it for coffee beans , so I can't attest to how it works with spices. Wish I could have been more help . Best regards�

Pamela, did you ever try this? I'm also interested in whether it will crack if I use a pan of water to make steam for artisan bread.

Thanks for your post--I called Sanyo customer service and they said cooking beans are fine. I haven't tried that yet. I have made rice numerous times in the cooking already and the results have been fantastic!

It is great for baking and sauteing, but anything at a high temp requires a different oil. E.g., I use grapeseed if I roast veggies.

Works really good for beans (so fare chick peas, red beans, black beans) also works great to make homemade stock or french onion soup quickly. As a slow cooker I have made 3 roast and they came out really good, we actually got rid of our Crock pot.For rice, have not tried it yet, sorry.However, the pressure release valve broke after only 6 months. Currently trying to get a replacement under warranty.

The way the mill works, I would bet it has to be dry, but hard uncooked rice would be fine. I have only used hard wheat in the grinder. It is gravity fed as you turn it. You can't use anything that would clump together or gum up in any way. I am not familiar with soy - sorry.

I haven't used it for blending beans, but have found that for large amounts of food, a good ol' beater or blender works better. You may have success because the blade is very sharp; however, you have to be careful for overspray! Good luck!

If you use whole beans and grind them a little coarse, that's the best option. However, I've used pre-ground beans and its worked fine, you just have to beware the extra-bitter magic dust that settles out into the last sip. This is probably true of any press though

I wasn't sure so ran a test for you last night. Made some tea and put it in the fridge. Didn't use stove top boiled water, but microwave boiled water. No cracking. You might want to make a bottle holder of some sort since the bottle was very hot. You should still check with manufacturer about cracking danger though. I have used a similar thickness bottle, that let's you unscrew the bottom to fill with ice, then add your tea and hot water to make instantaneous ice tea. Hope this helps.

Think you might end up with MUSH instead of a minced bean...use your chefs knife..chop-chop...think it would be better. This handy tool is great for herbs...parsley....etc

Hi there. As far as I understand, the cooker we bought can be used for shabu shabu, with this said, should serve very well for hot pot food recipe idea, we'd like to perform with this cooker. However, yes, the directions are MIA, I also used the cooker for some steamed veggies and the smell of burned material intrigued me a lot. And, finally the strainer you can used it when you cooking ramen, noodle soup, and the meats, spices, and noodles can be thrown inside to cook al dente.

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.
