A neighbour gave me this Galanz Soymilk maker machine 格兰仕 豆浆机, DP15002C, and I like to drink soymilk (豆浆). I thought that it would be pretty simple to find the user manual. Unfortunately, there is no user manual for this machine. While Google Search has almost nothing on this machine other than where to buy it, I did find a lot more on Baidu Search. There’s a lot more marketing and hype about this machine that actual useful information, such as a user manual.

A couple of weeks ago I went on the Galanz North America web site and asked for a user manual. They did not reply. After an hour long Baidu search for a user manual I did not find one. Google search was even worse, with almost no information at all. There is nothing on Youtube for this Galanz model, but there are videos on other similar models.

What I did find from Baidu Search was tat a lot of people in China were asking the same question: How do I use this thing. Some helpful Chinese forum people even wrote out their own instructions, which I have translated and will provide for you.

Chinese manufacturers are terrible at after sales service, and Galanz is no exception. They love it when you buy their products, but then drop you after that. This is a really bad criticizm of Chinese companies. I would not buy anything substantial from a Chinese company that you might want after sales service.

As for quality, the outer container is plastic and has turned cloudy with minimal use. There is a metal plate on the underside of the machine that has rusted. The plate cannot be removed as it is riveted in. It should not affect operation but looks quite shoddy.

It turns out that there are a lot of Chinese manufacturers of soymilk machines that copied each other and all did not create written downloadable instructions. The machine mashes up and cooks the soybeans, but then you need to sift the milk out, as well as do a major cleanup.

How to use the soymilk machine

1. Clean the soybeans in advance, and then add water to soak them. If you want to add mung beans, black beans and other beans that are not easy to soak, soak them half a day in advance.
2. Pour the soft soaked beans into the soymilk machine. Generally, Xiaoqi’s house pours the beans soaked in water together.
3. Add appropriate amount of water according to the amount of beans, but it is recommended to add a little more, otherwise if there is too much bean dregs, soy milk is basically not a lot. Be careful not to be less than the water level, not to exceed the water level, otherwise the machine is prone to failure.
4. Cover the machine head of the soymilk maker in the correct position and make sure it is in place.
5. After plugging in the power supply and the indicator light is on, select the button according to the functions provided by the soymilk machine and the types of ingredients added. When the machine sounds an alarm, it means that the soy milk is ready.

1. Soak the beans: Before we make soy milk, we must first soak the beans. After the beans are soaked, they will not be too hard, which makes it easier to squeeze the soy milk. Use a soymilk machine with a measuring cup of dried beans to take out the dried beans according to the 2/3 mark. Wash them and soak them in clean water. The soaking time is 8 to 16 hours in spring and autumn, 6 to 10 hours in summer, and 10 to 16 hours in winter. If you want to speed up the soaking time, you can use warm water soaking appropriately, which can be shortened to 2 to 3 hours.
2. add water level: Add beans and rice to the cup body. Use the bean measuring cup to measure the rice according to 2/3 of the scale. Wash the rice together with the soaked beans and put it directly into the cup body. Adding clean water to the cup generally has a water level in the cup, and water is added between the upper and lower water levels.
3. grain refiner: Install the grain refiner in the direction of the indicated arrow. The mesh mouth of the grain refiner and the machine head should be tight and seamless. After installation, pull down by hand and the grain refiner will not move, indicating that the installation is in place.
4. start production:
   Put the machine head into the cup according to the correct position, plug in the power cord, the power indicator light is on, press the soybean milk key, the corresponding indicator light is on, and the full nutrition soybean milk program is started. When the soy milk is finished, there will be a warning light or sound, and then the soy milk is ready. After the machine performs multiple beating and full cooking according to the set program, the electric heater and motor stop working, and the machine emits an audible and visual alarm to indicate that the soy milk is ready. Unplug the power plug and you are ready to drink.

How The Galanz Soybean Maker Does
I washed and presoaked 3/4 cup (rice cup, not a regular cup) of yellow soy beans for 24 hrs, which doubled in volume. The bean skin did not come off. Throw the presoaked beans into the transparent container and fill to the max line. The soybean maker has a safety feature (3 beeps, then nothing happens) that does not allow it to start unless there is sufficient water.

There is no on/off switch. Once you plug it in for power, many lights will begin blinking. Press “wet bean” and the light will go solid. The other light will stop blinking. Then, for a couple of minutes, nothing will happen. I thought that something was wrong, but no, this is normal. After a few minutes the machine will come to life and scare you with random whirring noises. Like a possessed devil that has a mind of its own, the machine will cycle through lour whirring noises and dead silence. This will go on for about 25 minutes. I did not time it. The water will start to heat up and some steam will come out the top.

Once finished the machine sings a Chinese song, then goes stops and goes dead. Unplug the machine and you are finished with the machine part. The doujiang will be piping hot, so be careful and let it cool down. I used a fine wire strainer to allow the watery doujiang to filter down to a secondary container, which was then refrigerated.

There is a beige soybean leftover that has the consistency of mashed potato. This is called “okara”. This should not be mixed up with the hand-held wind musical instrument, the okarina”. The okara was staring me in the face,which begged the question, what do you do with it? Okara is rich in vitamins and minerals. A friend said to fry it with spices, which I did. The taste is a little gritty but essentially tateless. it does have a lot of fiber.

The doujiang is a bit watery. Upon drinking there seems to be no initial taste, but after a second you get a stronger taste of soy. Since I did not add sugar the taste is not sweet. I think it is an acquired taste. I think that it tastes better than the commercial one because you can control the amount of sugar you add. I will experiment with it as time goes on. You can then take the soymilk, add a coagulant and make doufu.

Overall, a good experience, other than the devil possessed machine of unknown cycling, and zero feedback from the controls.
