Since soy is bad for thyroid problems how would one use this machine for Rice Milk? Would I need to purchase a different straining method.. I have ordered the product, but have been looking for information for rice milk. I've made it before, and it is...

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.

Thanks - that encourages me to experiment. The first thing I tried after rice was oatmeal but got the proportions wrong and it boiled over into a great disaster! With a lot less liquid now I don't use any other method for steel-cut oats - so easy!

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 have tried making tofu using this machine several times using both store-bought and homemade soy milk. It has not set once! I also am not sure if the instructions are referring to liquid or powdered nigari. The milk takes on a terrible taste when I add 10 ml of nigari powder undiluted.

I usually mix with water just to keep a tab on the overall caloric content, but mixing it with milk is really good too, and makes it a bit more creamy. I really like this product in smoothies; I don't usually drink without adding some fruit and blending it up into a shake. I haven't tired with rice or almond milk, but I imagine that would be fine.

Hi Andrea, Your question caught my eye because I'm trying to learn to follow the GAPS diet. Do you have any recommendations on making yogurt? I'm trying to decide on the most effective method to make yogurt on a regular basis. Any tips would be most appreciated.

I'm vegan. Frothing soy milk works really well, better than cow's milk. Almond milk doesn't froth well.

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?!

I used almond milk tonight for the 1st time and it wouldn't froth at all. I finished making my latte,though cause I was curious,but it tasted bad..therefore,if you want to use an alternative to cow's milk,choose soy milk. I especially like an unsweetened vanilla kind since I like my drinks sugar-free.

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

In my experience, milk works perfectly fine with this blender bottle (I have used whole milk before). I have no experience with soy milk. I drink whey protein isolate and never have any issues with it sticking to the bottle or with chunkiness.

I believe it is the type of starter you use and not the machine that determines what "milk" products you can use. I know the yogourmet brand says you can use other milks like soy and almond... hope this helps.

That depends how you've prepared, soy is very delicate, so if you left soybeans for more than 12 hours in water, that may have been the problem, after letting in water, it is necessary soy wash several times until you get out all the foam is water, however, to give you a better answer me that preparation method you have used. For one year I prepare my soy milk with a machine called soy maker. But before the machine used the standard preparation method. In anyway you can use the milk that you have now for make a tofu, or yogurt. When you doing good the milk you can make Vegannesa too. ;) The Bob's Red mill soybeans are organic and delicious. Sorry for my English, I am using a translate application but I want to help

I did make almond milk with it. It came out a little thick. It doesn't have a setting to make an unheated milk like you usually would for almond milk. Unless the juice button is it. There are no instructions for it. I just used the soymilk button. I returned mine and got one that is a lot less work and has a mill button for making raw nut milks. The milk turns out way smoother too. I have the soyabella now.

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.
