Yeah judging by that first picture dollar, you pressed way to hard in the pressing screen> But truly not your fault, i really have to go thru my instructions with a fine tooth comb and get them updated.
Press super gently in the pressing screen, so you leave enough water in the paddy to make it easy to chop up.
IF you end up with large chunks like what dollar has in the photo above, your drying process is going to take a lot longer. With chunks that size, you have to hand break them up as the outside dries and chip away at it, till you get to small enough chunks that you can safely powderize.
