i do not know about the nuts, but we have often successfully made delicious kettle corn in it...I use coconut oil and organic sugar and organic popcorn. I cannot recall the exact recipe but there are several online...just experiment!

Yes to kettle corn! I don't know about roasting nuts. We use cast iron for that.

Yes, it may just fill the kettle to the point where less than half of all the corn may to pop. So, just use only half at a time.

I use the large nut wizard for walnuts and the medium one for pecans. I would think the medium model would be better for hazelnuts. They both work great. I have given them as gifts to friends also. Good luck! Joanne

I personally wouldn't do chocolate chips in it - - the only possible way it may work is to freeze the chips first, and then I think it would be questionable! Nuts are hard and this seems to me to be for something of that texture. Hope this helps!!

Yes, but it wouldn't be "roasted". It would be the same as putting it in a crockpot on low, unless you browned it first.

I use raw nuts in the oil expeller but roasted would work great as well. Sunflower seeds don't even have to be shelled. It is an amazing device and I really enjoy my walnut oil. The YouTube videos are very helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mLhdU0xW-Q Make sure that the end cap isn't closed too tightly making the discard back up and compact inside. It turns into cement (almost literally) and is difficult to clean. Also, keep the wick clipped short so that you don't have too much smoking. It takes a bit of a learning curve but well worth the effort!

I have not tried chopping nuts, but I imagine there would be no problem if the nuts were coarsely chopped before putting them in the chopper. I make awesome pico or salsa, but i always start with the onions, tomatoes, and peppers cut into pieces. If i cannot easily pull the cable, I reduce the size of whatever is being chopped. As for pesto, i would use nuts like walnuts because they can easily be chopped. The chopper is so much easier to use than the food processor or the blender.

Hello; you can use the Piteba for raw or roasted nuts & seeds. I have used mine for both raw and roasted so far, and it works like a charm. A blend of raw and roasted sunflower seeds, for example, makes a wonderful cooking oil. What matters most is the oil content of the batch of nuts or seeds you're using. There are a number of YouTube videos demo'ing this expeller with a number of different nuts/seeds, and indeed it works as advertised. Have fun!

Yes , you can. But make sure that the corn (or any other grain) you put for grinding should be very dry. You have to adjust the knob on mill for desired coarseness. I once made very coarse flour out of wheat berries for making sweet pudding.

I use a silular model on my gas cooktop all the time.. I find that a higher heat setting works better.. The more heat, there is, the quicker the corn pops and less time for the time there is for first corns poped to get burned. I use it to make kettle corn, I just use 2 teasoons of oil, 1/2cup of suger, a little salt, heat that up and put in a 1/2cup of corn.

Unfortunately you can't roast the corn kernels. They have moisture trapped inside by the outer shell and therefore wil pop when introduced to heat to release the moisture. That's why they "pop" when you cook them. As far as beans, yes you can roast them. However, I don't really know long it would take since the only settings on the machine are for popcorn and nuts. But some experimenting with the time and the setting will be your best bet for that.

Yes just make sure you buy the appropriate sized popcorn pack for the kettle oz.

You can but you must make sure that any seeds, sunflower chips, etc., are small... the size of red or white millet (max). Anything bigger will clog the openings.

Yes! And it's really nice the flour that comes out, pretty similar to the Bob's red mill one. You can prepare a beautiful corn bread!

I don't know for sure for the corn of the cob, but I use it a lot with brauts which take about an hour to cook. I hope this answer will help.

No, I use it mainly for frying but I assume that you could if you set the temp, put the lid on and monitor the roast. check the booklet that came with it

I haven't tried cooking them but I can't imagine why you couldn't. One issue might be different cooking times if you have a bag of mixed beans.
