Next, when using it as a juicer, attach the mesh filter to the inner surface of the pot, and then attach a grater-like cutter to the center bottom of the pot, energize the motor, and rotate the pot. When you put in the ingredients such as both holes and cilantro, the apples are ground with a grater-like cutter.
The apple juice passes through the mesh filter, and the squeezed juice is extracted through the outlet of the outer receiving tank and stored in the receiver, while the pomace remains on the inner surface of the filter. In this case, the heater is not energized.

Next, when using it as a tofu maker, place the mesh-like filter on the inside of the pot, but do not install the grater-like cutter on the bottom of the pot, and add raw soybean flour and water to the pot. Add a certain amount of water and turn on the heater for a certain period of time to boil it. After boiling for a certain period of time, the power to the heater is stopped and the motor is energized for a certain period of time to perform centrifugal throttling operation.

Therefore, the soybean juice in the pot passes through the mesh filter and is extracted from the extraction port of the outer tank to the receiver. The extracted soybean juice is called soy milk, but if a coagulant (such as calcium sulfate) is placed in a receiver in advance and the extracted soy milk is stirred with the rotating stirring blade at the bottom of the receiver for a certain period of time. , the soy milk coagulates in the receptor to form tofu. Incidentally, okara from the pomace remains attached to the inner surface of the mesh-like filter. The tofu and okara prepared as described above are each taken out and used for eating.
