Soybella Drink Maker!

[Fiddle-Faddle]

I just saw this on Home and Garden Channel==one of those favorite new products shows. Anyway, it makes fresh soy milk (and they said it could make rice milk and other milks) from soy beans in 15 minutes! All I could find on the Internet was this: Open Original Shared Link

but let's keep our eyes open!

I have a Chinese friend who makes her own soymilk. It is so delicious--nothing in the store compares.

update: I spelled it wrong, it's "Soyabella," and I found more info (now that I spelled it correctly): Open Original Shared Link

They also make a food mill (as in grinding your own grain)--wouldn't it be nice not to pay 8 bucks for 3 pounds of flour?

Then we wouldn't have to drink carageenan and other ingredients other than the soy. Cool.

I had my own soy milk maker for years and when I discovered my soy intolerance, gave it to my ex-husband's current wife because she likes soy milk and thought she might enjoy making her own.

I LOVED mine.

There's an extra apostrophe at the end of the link; just delete that and then it works.

So how would you use it to make rice milk? Do you put in raw or cooked rice and water, and that's it ?

I have a Open Original Shared Link that I've used a few times. Do your research before buying a soymilk maker. The cheaper ones don't cost that much less, but they break within a month and get terrible reviews.

I would be worried about buying an appliance off a website that has nothing but a brief uninformative commercial clip and a "buy now" button.

ekatherine, do you like your soyajoy? It looks good!

I like it, but I don't use it that much. When I bougt it I was thinking it would be useful for making nut milks, which I do frequently. Although the directions recommend it for that purpose, it's simpler for me to blend them and then pour through my old Acme Juicer that I have lined with a paper towel strip. Nut milks don't like or need the heat cycle that soymilk does.

What I use it for is making soymilk for tofu sheets, which happens once in a while when I'm in the mood. I find that the richest milk comes from doing 3 batch processes to increase the strength of the milk. A single process is kind of thin.

You have to soak the beans in advance, no matter which one you buy, regardless of what the instructions say.
