How to make soybean oil

Items Needed:

• Soybeans
• Mixer 
• Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
• Large bowl
• Saucepan
• Cooking thermometer
• Glass jar or bottle for storage

To make soybean oil, follow the steps below;

1. Start by soaking the soybeans in water overnight to soften them.
2. Drain the soybeans and blend them with water in a blender until smooth, you can also smash them if you don’t have access to a blender.
3. Pour the blended soybeans into a large bowl lined with cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer.
4. Squeeze out the liquid (soy milk) from the soybean pulp using the cheesecloth.
5. Transfer the soy milk to a saucepan and heat it to about 180°F while stirring constantly. The key is that you don’t want it to boil too much, you also do not want it to burn, but you want it warm enough to release the oils.
6. Remove from heat and let it cool. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
7. Once cooled, pour the soy milk into a jar or bottle, cover it, and let it sit for a few hours to allow the oil to separate from the milk.
8. Skim off the oil that rises to the top and store it in a cool, dark place for future use.
