First you need to condition your seeds by adding small volume of water. For sesame seeds you can add 60ml of water for every 1000g of seed, you have to let the seeds rest for 12hours.
The extraction is easy but you have to do the extraction process twice to get a good result of high oil yeild.
Secondly, my observation is that that the oil has a slight discoloration due to the shaft this can be taken care of by allowing the oil to settle for 24hours then you can gently sieve off the clear oil.
Thirdly, the cap is usually blocked by the extracted cake, so there is need to clean by dismantling the equipment and this also takes time.
The residue has only small amount of oil left. Overal the equipment works well.
My experience with the seller is awesome and they are very prompt in responding to enquiries about their product the PITEBA.
Thank you for making my shopping experience great.
Turns out, it's not that hard. I few hand fulls of black oil sunflower seeds from the bird seed section of you local home center and you're in business. It helped me to watch some of the you tube videos on how to do it and a little bit of tweaking the expeller cap - was all it took to get more oil than I expected. Over the last month, I've made almond oil and sesame oil too. Both a little different but all have been easy enough to figure out.
A few tips:
- Make sure you mount the press on something very sturdy. I have mine bolted to a piece of 2x10 that I clamp to my kitchen counters - I think it could be more sturdy.
- I recommend finding a source for the washers used to protect the auger from the expeller. I lube the daylights out of mine but I'm still seeing some seeds / shells get stuck in there and damage the washers. Luckily it hasn't ruined either the auger or the expeller yet. I've also tried some thrust bearings but the ones I found have a plastic race and the expeller stays to warm for that to work well. Seems the size of the washers isn't common (maybe someone else knows where to purchase a box of them) :)
- crank slowly
- make small adjustments as you go to fine tune how fast you produce cake
- wait the 10 minutes at start up - as mentioned in the instructions, before adding seeds and cranking
- after waiting 2 days for the sediment to drop out of the oil, put it through an unbleached coffee filter - makes it look as good as store bought oil (and it smells great!)
Thanks what's worked for me.
Specialty cooking oils are expensive and making your own is easier than I thought it would be.
I hope you have good luck too.
Pros: None
Cons:
1. This item is really too expensive. I bought my manual Remington 18" lawn mower for only $99 in Sear two years ago. It never rusted and it is very durable. This crappy product rusted the first time I used it. You need to clean (using only oil!) it right after using it; otherwise, the cheap cast iron will rust in less than one day. If you hate crappy low end China-made products, you will hate this one even more cause it is way too expensive. At this price, you should expect at least some stainless steel parts, not CHEAP cast iron. BTW, the body is just steel with oil paint (not good!) on the surface.
2. It is very small. It takes a long time to produce a significant amount of oil and also a long time to clean up! I just found out that there is another product made in India that is reasonably larger than this one. You definitely need a larger one if you do much oil extraction. It doesn't mean that I will buy that one though.
3. You need to create your own plastic container to hold the nuts by cutting out the top part of a plastic bottle. Is this reasonable for an expensive product like this?
4. It is difficult to wash. This has something to do with the size of the product. If you press walnut, the walnut will jam very easily. When you try to clean it, it is stuck. Again, it is really time consuming to try to clean it properly. Buy a big press, or not at all.
5. It cannot support itself. You need to screw it onto your counter top. Don't do it, cause it will eventually break the counter top cause of the force you need to apply to extract the oil. You should only mount it on some very sturdy bench in your garage.
For a price of $150, you can buy a bicycle with an aluminum frame. Think twice before you purchase this item! I should have purchased a multi-function juicer which probably only costs $2XX. It was just a bad decision.
BTW, I do a lot of things manually without relying on motors or electricity. I use my manual lawn mower to cut my grass. I grind chicken egg shells using bricks manually before I spread them into my yards. I hand laid the bricks and stones to creates the pavements in my yards. I made my own tofu box to make my own tofu. I make my own wine. It is just not worth my time on this piece of junk. So, I now use my good old garlic press to extract the oil from my walnuts. Heat your walnut to about 120F and put it into your garlic press. The garlic press is much easier to use and to clean up. If you have a lot of nuts, buy a multi-purpose juicer. It doesn't mean I will buy one though.
