What is th average size of the cut pieces? Does it make dust out of some of the nuts. I'm interested in pecans and walnuts.

Love this - works well. I use shelled walnuts that I buy or crack them myself. The "chunks" come out small but not dust... maybe like fish gravel (couldn't think of anything else size wise). If you want it finer, you can put through again. I use to make filling for Christmas cookies.

Only used it once before giving it to my father as a gift (why I bought it) the sizes are comparable to the nut sprinkles for most sundays ice cream deserts.

Don't worry about turning them into "dust"--you control the size of the pieces.

I don't use the device very often. I am kind of sorry I bought it. I have found it is easier to chop the nuts with a knife, or a quick chop in the processor. The pieces are irregular and not uniform. No ...it is not efficient enough to make dust. But it's cute. I would send you mine for free...I am getting rid of things like this in my home and plan to give it away anyway.

Sorry I can't recommend this grinder. It's very poorly made and will fall apart in a month

I have only chopped nuts and it does fine. It's a nice little blender for the money. If you want one that really does the job and feels more stable, spring for the nutri bullet. I have both. The maxi matic is much smaller so I take it on my trips it fits in my suitcase much better. I hope this was helpful

I am pretty positive it will work on even smaller rocks maybe 1/4" and 1/2". The only problem I see is for the item to work is the ground needs to be firm or you will just push the rock deeper into the soil. Picking up pecans the ground is hard packed and the nuts press in very easy. Hope this helps

Well, I have never cracked a chestnut, but it has no problem with walnuts. Are fresh chestnuts slightly soft? If so, this may be a challenge as it is really a "cracker"

I believe those are pecans that you are seeing, not walnuts. They list the ingredients as cashews, almonds, pistachios and pecans.

Just remove the nut, wash, and return the pieces in their proper order. Hope this helps

We have no idea, but it does crack Pecans with ease. You might go on a Macadamia Nuts site and talk to someone. Sure wish we could have help you. Good luck.. Joy

I have never seen it stick to the nut meat. Some of the nut shells are pretty hard and get sharp when cracked (like walnuts). I never actually saw a paint chip, but do see the scratches on the inside. We've used ours a lot. (Probably over 100 pounds of nuts by now. About 1/3rd were walnuts.) I just bought one for a friend that is the gray one. So far no chips on the inside.

I personally have not chopped nuts, but anything that you put in at least a cup of anything will chop. The more you turn it the smaller it gets.

I used to grind nuts with a hand-held Cuisinart grinder/chopper, but the results were more powder or paste with a few large chunks. The Hazel Nut Grinder finely chops nuts into a uniform mixture. The chopped nuts still have texture, but there are no large chunks.

hello todd here in wichita i always get the pecan chunks from a nursery in the south end of town very reasonable. if you go to a smoke shop can be costly for a small amount of wood. i use the pecan because it is not as strong as hickory soak them for a day or two last much longer and does a better job than chips in my masterbuilt gs40.

Jane, We have this unit. The crushed pieces are not uniform, but I will try to give you a useful idea of their size. The length varies from some near a half inch down to less than a quarter inch. The width and thickness are smaller. I would guess that the average might be about a quarter inch. What I'm trying to say here is that all the pieces are not of a uniform shape and size, but run around a quarter inch or a bit longer. We have found this size works very well for us. Good luck finding what fits your needs.

They are mostly walnut halves with some quarters or biggish pieces. VERY few small pieces. They are also very fresh tasting.

The Wondermill milling chamber will get blocked up if you use oily nuts like walnuts. When milling nuts like almonds, they should be roasted and dried or they will get stuck.

My experience is that yes it will pick up larger objects. Haven't experienced nuts before but it has picked up large leaves and small pebbles. You will have to brush the curved walls. It will do okay but won't get everything from walls even when they aren't curved.

I have chopped nuts but not ginger or bok choy. It worked great. The blades are REALLY sharp.

Sorry I can't answer that. I only cracked black walnuts so far and it does the job well.
