I want to use this to make almond milk. When I press the raw grain button how long does it run for?

It cycles of and on, then beeps when done. I make raw almond milk in the a.m. and it feels like less than 30 min. Like I said , its a cycle, not a continuous 30 min grind. The raw setting is the fastest , the cooked milk takes about 40. Hope this helps.Shri

Would be about 15 minutes. I recommend you to soak it for about few hours first. Almond will taste a lot nicer. Great Machine!

I want to check it but I am keeping forgetting.... If I am not mistake it can be between 9 and 12 minutes. It is done so fast that some days I will do the raw cycle twice, yesterday I did 3 times because I was not making soy milk. They recommend to not use the soya joy more than 3 times in a row. If you forget to soak the almond it is a good way to get the maximum from your almonds. Enjoy !!! :)

I've had mine for 9 years, use it primarily to grate citrus, hard cheeses and nutmeg about 2 - 3 times a week. I'm just in the process of ordering another one. Love it but probably should have bought a replacement a year or two ago.

Greetings Neil. Last(hope you are not bored with responses) obtain Keffer and make you own fermented milk. Have been using the same 'grains' for a year and they still work well. Takes about 8 hour to make setting on warm shelf near the celling in the room. Enjoy. L.H. Cultures For Health <customersupport@culturesforhealth.com>

Depends how much quantity and what you are grinding. Something soft like soaked lentils it can easily grind 5-6 cups and soaked idli rice 3-4 cups. I don't run it continuously more than an hour. Hope this helps...

Hmmm...I've never tried to run it that long so I'm not sure. I will say I tried blending a protein drink with milk and twice the amount of protein powder and it got bogged down and a bit warm.

Last night I put oatmeal ingredients in, programmed it to steam for ten minutes at midnight, after which it switched to warm mode until I turned it off in the morning (I didn't see any way to use the delay function to go directly to warm mode). This morning it's just like the oatmeal I make over night in the crock pot.

It is excellent, because it's so easy. You just soak soy beans in water for a few hours, fill water into the soymilk maker until it reaches the mark, put the top on and hit the button. When the machine is done, it will beep a few times. You take the top off, strain the milk with the included strainer and you have soy milk! I've also made soup in mine. There are lots of videos on YouTube with different recipes. I love my machine and use it several times a week.

I think the recommendation is 4-6 hrs, from the time the yogurt is heated and the bacteria/culture is added. I have the top tier and I regularly use it, it works fine for making a double batch of yogurt. I only use whole milk to make my yogurt though. People who have told me they use low fat or skim milks often complain the yogurt turns out runny. I believe in the industrial yogurt business they use gelatins and other thickening agents to make low fat yogurts. Happy yogurt making!

It depends. You definitely save money making your own almond milk (it's about $1 to make a carton's worth). But what you get is different. You add sweetener yourself, it separates easily, and, depending on how well you soaked the almonds, it can come out grainy. You might have to try a few batches before you get a recipe that suits you. Mine has paid for itself a few times over (i've saved so much money, it's amazing!), but I could see some giving up after a few tries.

It works great for making almond butter. It comes out super creamy. I use raw almonds and do not add anything else.

Great recipe, Stephen. Thanks for sharing it. I only added some maple syrup before serving. Not sure if this will make a difference for some people, but I let the oatmeal steam for about 15 minutes after cooking ends. (The "soup" setting takes roughly an hour.) Then I open the cooker and stir well.

I have only used it for making almond and walnut nut milk. I am sorry I could not be of more help.

Something like 20 minutes. I absolutely love mine. Quick and easy. Presoak 10-15 min and press button.

One hour for sure, we regularly use this to grind rice and other cereals. Usually the stuff runs for 1 hr. It has never heated up. I would say it should run 1-2 hrs with ordinary load and easy to grind items. May not fit for commercial needs though.

I use mine regularly for processing large batches of fish and have run it steady for hours with no problems. You just have to time it so you leave it sit for 20 seconds between bags, which is usually about as fast as you can go anyway. I have also burnt out several food saver specials but this one works well.

It's been almost a year since I had this, I returned it cause it didn't work well. I don't really remember if I used it to make nut milk or not. I now use the blendtec and it does a wonderful job, but you do need to use the nut bag but that certainly isn't a biggie. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I make almond butter in my prep 7 all the time and it turns out great. But warming the nuts at 300 degrees for 10 or 15 minutes makes the process much faster, like ten minutes.
