Can you make nut butters with this?

That question I can't answer because I never tried, but it is a VERY versatile appliance!!

I don't understand why people say it takes so long. I make peanut, cashew and almond butters, and it only takes about 2 minutes! I probably put in about 2 cups of nuts. I heard that you need to add oil, but I don't find that to be true. Just keep running and it will release enough oil. Although if you're going to store in the fridge, you might want to add just a TINY bit of oil to help keep it spreadable when cold.

We tried making almond butter with this blender and were not successful. It's partially our fault for thinking that if you soak the nuts for a few hours it would help blended them up faster. We have not tried since then. I know this does not necessarily answer your question but thought I would share my experience.

Yes, it has a blank to do nut butters. This is a fabulous juicer, had mine for 30 years and still the same!

It's been almost a year since I had this, I returned it cause it didn't work well. I don't really remember if I used it to make nut milk or not. I now use the blendtec and it does a wonderful job, but you do need to use the nut bag but that certainly isn't a biggie. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I bought this item to make nut butter for my raw food restaurant where we make our own almond butter. The most efficient way I have found to do this is to first process the nuts in a cuisanart until they are pretty fine, then add them to the stone grinder. We add almond oil for a smooth consistency. If you leave the top of and help it along with a spatula for the first five minutes and then let it go for another five. Another review said you shouldn't let it run for more than a half hour because the motor isn't that strong and it usually takes less than ten minutes to make about 4 cups of almond butter.

I wouldn't think so, but I've never tried. It does a great job of pulverizing nuts and spices, but I don't know if it would go as far as butter.

Yes you can, I regularly make nut butters. For me it takes about 20mins at the most to get the nuts I've used so far to a smooth consistency (peanuts, hazelnuts). The blades do get build-up from process, so if you plan on making several batches, just wash the blades between batches in order to get the best results each time.

I have made almond butter with a blendtec, I believe it has about 2000 Watts. The machine smoked and almost burned. Try to stir peanut butter with a spoon to get an idea what will happen to a high Speed blender. With care you can make almond butter with a blendtec. But I bet you will burn this nutribullet in 30 seconds. They are not made for differing Speeds and differing things, only for high Speed Juice.

I would say yes and no. It can take apples and make apple sauce, but carrots will be juiced and the carrot pulp will be dry. I would not want to use it as a baby food maker, that job would best be done by a food processor. As for nut butters, it does work to crush the nuts, but it is really mashed up into the screen and won't come out of the chute very well. I recommend going to www.discountjuicers.com and check out some of John Kohler's YouTube videos. He explains a lot of the uses for this machine in great detail. He may also have recommendations for a baby food producing machine that I am not aware of. Good luck!

It could grind nuts into a powder or fine grist @ least. As for butter... I'm not surehow it would handle the addition of liquid??? You would then have to PRESS the butter down and into the shoot.

Yes, in fact you can make excellent nut butters that are consistently smooth and creamy. Our of you prefer, just chop them up.

Absolutely! I make some very easy to make but very yummy Almond butter. Nothing else needed beside this jar and the blender.

Yup. Well, I've only made almond butter, but I would think it's the same. I've also made raw cereal with it.

Have never used yet to make peanut butter, I would say no and a definite no for trying to crush ice.It is a VERY nice, heavy duty hand blender... makes great salsa, mashed potatoes, puréed.

These are raw peanuts and yes peanut butter can be made from raw peanuts. The only problem with these particular peanuts is, they have their shell skins. So, unless you want to go to the trouble to de-skin them, I'd say probably not good to make the butter with these nuts. Hope this helps.

I have used the grinder blade and definitely made peanut butter and almond butter with it. It's pretty amazing. I was actually just attempting to make almond flour out of it for baking purposes and before I knew it, it was butter!
