CAUTION

•

Homemade nut milk should last about a week, if refrigerated. The Midea

NRG milk maker heats the water during processing, which pasteurizes

the milk.

•

Do not use the milk maker to reheat cold nut milk, reheat cold paste or

boil water.

Processing Functions

Processing times vary depending on the processing function selected. Thicker

milks and oatmeal require a longer processing time, and some functions both

stir and heat.

For optimum results, use the ratio of liquid to solid recommended in your

recipe. However, the ratio can be adjusted to suit your personal taste.

Your model has a capacity of 48 oz to 56 oz (1.4 L to 1.7 L).

Making Nut, Rice or Grain Milk

Your milk maker uses dried bean pulping technology, so soy beans do not

REQUIRE pre-soaking before processing. However, soaking the soybeans

(legumes), nuts, rice or grain before processing will result in a greater milk

yield.

WARNING - Food Poisoning

• Soybean milk must be boiled before drinking.

• If kept at room temperature, fresh soybean milk should be drunk within 6 hours.

Failure to do so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

NOTE: Before ﬁrst use, remove the pulp container from the milk chamber, and

then clean all the parts that come into direct contact with food.

1. Clean and prepare food for processing.

2. Measure the prepared food and add it to the milk chamber.

NOTE: Use the 4 oz. measuring cup (provided) to precisely measure

ingredients. For optimum results, use only the ingredients in the amounts

speciﬁed in your recipe.

3. Fill the milk chamber with room-temperature tap water until the water

level is between the minimum and maximum water-level lines.

NOTES:

•

Use room-temperature tap water. Using distilled or puriﬁed water, or

hot water will result in over-boiling causing a burnt taste.

•

You can control the consistency of the nut, rice or grain milk by adding

a little more or less water as long as the water level falls between the

minimum and the maximum water level marks.

•

Using too much or too little water will adversely affect the milk making

process.

4. Plug the processor into the milk chamber. Make sure the plug on the

processor is fully inserted into the plug receptacle on top of the milk

chamber handle to complete the electrical connection.

NOTE: If you unintentionally select the wrong function, press and hold

START/CANCEL for 3 seconds to cancel the function, and then press

MENU to reselect.

8. The milk maker will process according to the function selected. The

function light will ﬂash and a tone will sound to indicate processing is

complete.

NOTE: During the warming phase of the process, it is normal for the

processor to stir intermittently.

WARNING - Burn

• Allow time for the hot milk to drain from the processor and into the milk chamber.

• Carefully remove the processor from the milk chamber so that hot milk does not

contact skin.

Failure to do so can result in burns.

9. Unplug the power supply cord from the wall outlet. Wait 30 seconds for

the processor to drain before lifting the processor from the milk chamber.

CAUTION

The milk will be hot.

10. Holding the ﬁlter or the ﬁne-mesh bag over the container, pour the

processed milk through the ﬁlter or bag into a container.

NOTES:

•

The ﬁlter or milk bag acts as a strainer to separate the liquid from the

solids.

•

Use the blender to stir and press the liquid from the pulp.

11. Flavor the milk, if desired. Add a pinch of sea salt, brown sugar, vanilla, or

any other favorite ﬂavors.

12. Allow milk to cool before serving.

CAUTION

Soybean milk must be boiled before drinking. If kept at room

temperature, fresh soybean milk should be drunk within 6 hours.

Making Tofu

1. Wash and prepare the amount of soybeans speciﬁed in your Tofu recipe.

2. Using the 4 oz measuring cup (provided), measure the soybeans and

place them into the milk chamber.

3. Add room-temperature water to the maximum ﬁll line.

Page 12

Use

4. Plug the processor into the milk chamber. Connect the power cord to the

milk chamber receptacle, and then plug into the wall outlet.

5. Press MENU to select TOFU from among the processing functions, and

then press START/CANCEL to begin processing.

6. While the soybeans are processing, add gypsum powder to a container

(larger than 2 L). To the gypsum powder, add 5 oz to 7 oz (15 g to 20 g)

room-temperature water. Shake well to mix.

NOTE: This step must be completed before removing the soybean milk.

7. Once the soybean milk is processed, strain the processed milk through the

ﬁlter into the pulp container to separate the milk from the pulp. Use the

blender to stir and press the milk from the pulp.

NOTE: If desired, you may add sugar or ﬂavoring to the soybean milk at

this point.

8. Quickly pour the HOT, ﬁltered soybean milk into the gypsum powder

solution. The soybean milk must be hot when it is added to the gypsum

solution to produce the correct tofu pudding consistency.

NOTE: Pour the soybean milk into the gypsum solution. DO NOT pour the

gypsum solution into the soybean milk.

9. Let the mixture stand for approximately 10 minutes. Once the tofu

pudding has solidiﬁed, the tofu is ready to eat or mold.

Molding Tofu

1. With the Midea logo facing upward, insert a disc into the tofu mold

cylinder to create the bottom of the tofu mold.
