Can i use butter in this machine?

No you cannot. Putting anything other than kernals in this machine, will destroy it.

No. The popcorn cooks in the little metal part in the bottom. I think if you put butter in it it would burn.

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.

Sure. You could use the base or the top for a dip and the other part for a tower of carrots. Or use both pieces for two different condiments. You could put any kind of spread in the butter side. Could be used for flowers, ivy, etc. They are basically just two vessels, one smaller than the other. Just use your imagination. It is still the best butter keeper.

I occasionally will use butter, ghee or olive olive. I never use Pam. It will damage the pans.

Yes, you can. The recipe book suggests freezing regular yogurt and using it in the machine.

You can. I crushed almonds with this for a recipe. This will make nut butter but you have to put the nuts through the machine again and again to get a better consistency.

Yes, only better because it is fresher! Make sure u use the right ingredients. You can also use a topping oil for those who like extra butter!

Hi Paula.. honestly have not tried.. but cannot imagine that it will be difficult.. The machine is based on stones running against each other and we routinely grind rice. Rice is quite hard and hopefully almonds can be ok too... But.. no clue if the apparatus is a good option for the almond butter process overall.. Hope this is useful.. take care.. Rajesh

I'm sure you could, We made chocolate and it turned out very smooth, Nut butter would probably turn out good. You would probably want to pre-grind the nuts a little but cause large pieces can bind the machine up. the texture you get would probably be close to nuttella as opposed to peanut butter.

I haven't tried that yet; however, I don't think the mixer would have any problems with room temp cream cheese. I have ran through a "refrigerator cold" stick of butter with no problem.

I find it works very well. Just make sure you use a recipe that calls for two cups of flour only. I use it for making biscuits and one pie crust. Butter blends in just as good as in the larger units.

I wouldn't as it would make a mess - you can put a pat of butter in the presto cup along with the butter flavor oil, before you put in kernels.

Yes, butter is optional. Make sure you measure the inside of your microwave though...mine is tight I have to remove the lazy susan to use this.

you can't. It will never taste like real butter. You can add it to your baking to give a buttery taste, but I never found a way to use it as a substitute for butter, not even in vegetables. Since it has the same calories as butter, I couldn't figure the advantage. I ended up tossing it.

I think you could probably use any popcorn and oil combo. It's not a complicated machine and works just fine with the local popcorn/vegetable oil combo I've tried.

I haven't tried butter, but it would probably work if the stick of butter were frozen!
