can you make nut butters with this?

I have not tried nuts in it yet. Probably would need to soak the nuts first.

I believe the instructions mention making butters with it but I've never tried. I imagine you could but wouldn't get it smooth like the commercial stuff. A VitaMix or food processor would work better. Hope this helps. By the way, it's GREAT for wheatgrass/greens.

I use it every other day to make Pommogranate juice. I also tried other berries like Blue-, Black- or Rasberry. But it didn't work outo. I never tried any nut butters. Sorry Rainer

I don't know for sure but I don't think so. To make butter using Buttercup it is best to use the freshest butter you can get and make sure the temperature of the cream is at the room temperature.

Yes I have. I make almond butter. I takes a lot longer without oil, so the second time I uses a little almond oil and it was much better. The third time I made it I used a little almond oil and a little melted coconut oil. omg! it is GREAT.

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.

Yes.. I made almond butter today. It takes probably 10 minutes or so. It first grinds to a powder then you have to scrape and blend more, scrape and blend more and continue. I let it rest after a while but it never smelled hot. After a while you will begin to see the oil appear. Continue a few more times.. Perfect almond butter. Be patient.

Yes. you can..but only use cocunut oil inthe machine ,the other popcorn oils will not work ,will gum it up.

Probably, I think they said you can mix it with oil. It just doesn't mix with other liquids, and it doesn't taste much like butter. But I'll bet mixed with coconut oil it might be really tasty.

I would not use this grinder to make nut butters. (I make my own nut butters all of the time, in my 14 c. Cuisinart Food processor, which does an amazing job. In my experience, you need at least a 7 cup food proc. to make any nut butter). This little grinder is not meant for the motor to be running for as long as it takes to make nut 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.

Not sure what you're trying to make, but I'd say no. I put in peanuts (only), turn it on, and get peanut butter. I'm not making any additions, nor is there anyway to grind the nuts less. It is good peanut butter though.

Yes. You mix the amount you need and use it exactly like peanut butter. Do not add it as a powder (unless PB2 comes out with a recipe book)

I have blended peanut and almonds with water into a very fine drink. If you don't have enough water the blender will overheat and shut off. I have not been able to make pure nut butter, but can finely chop nuts with my muffin batter or green drinks.

Peanute/cashew butter was the first thing I tried in this unit when I got it, because I was skeptical. But Oh my gosh, it makes the best, creamy, all natural nut butter of any kind! Nothing to add, just nuts! You'll love it!

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

Yes, I make almond and cashew butters all the time on this machine, using no added oils. Simply put whole nuts, turn machine on, and let it go. I stop mine every few mins, let it rest for a min or so, and then turn it back on. I do NOT add any oil. Be patient...you'll think it's not going to turn out, but keep the machine running and it will. The cashew butter in particular is fantastic.

Yes, does a great job making almond butter. I've not made peanut butter, but have the impression that almond butter is more challenging for a food processor. I've made it (almond butter) 3 or 4 times. It takes about 12-15 minutes, & doesn't seem to stress the machine. (I do let it rest in ~30 second increments after running for 1 - 1.5 minutes at a time, just to avoid any problems). Once it reaches creamy consistency, let it go for another 1.5 - 2 minutes & it'll get creamier (& easier to stir into other foods, etc.).
