Can this be used to press oil out of vegetables or nuts?

This is a dry substance mill only, and trying to use it with oily or wet substances will cause a gummy mess to form between the grinding plates. The plates must then be pulled out and cleaned. There are specialty machines for the purpose you suggest, but this is not one of them. The Piteba expeller has fair marks for small scale home use.

Would have to be modified, I think. Anxious to read other responses here. I've had this mill for about a year--works great for grinding grains, but the mill on my wish list for extracting oils is a Piteba.

I honestly wouldn't recommend trying something like this because the thing was designed as a grain mill and the clean up would be a royal pain. It *might* work once or twice but after that, seeing as it is a grinding *stone*, it is highly unlikely the mill would be good for anything after that.

yes. cold pressed is exactly that. pressed in a vise type machine so the oil runs out of the pulp

Use a pig funnel shaped in such a way as to pour the oil off into an appropriate container. You will likely need an assistant for this.

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!

Yes you can! I used it on watermelons and butternut squash and it worked fine.

I use it only for chopping vegetables. I would avoid it for nuts as the body is plastic...

Yes . It works great for items that a meant to be fried but cooks with any need for oil and taste good.. I try this with French fries and taste great without the oil.. Works great on chicken, Pork chops, mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders.

I can't imagine why not. If it stores bacon fat after straining, I don't see why you couldn't use it to strain cooking oil. Another way to strain it, is to put some cheese cloth into a funnel, and pour the oil back into the bottle. Mark the bottle as frying/cooking oil only so that you don't grab it for anything else. I use my crock for bacon fat only.

Yes. Adding oil to a closed, pressurized system is precisely what this tool is designed to do. And, the tool performs well.

I've use it to chop nuts and veggies. I love the way it chops my cabbage and carrots. I also use it to make my pie dough...hope this helps.

I do not know if it is made for crushing nuts... I have only done vegetables. Sorry..

The garlic press is really heavy duty, so it might, but I haven't tried it. Thanks for the idea, will try next time I need minced gingerroot..

Yes, but I would recommend applying vegetable oil to it first. Otherwise it's hard to close the top the first time.

It has plenty of power for nuts. You might have to use pulse mode to mix the nuts up more evenly. IfYou are trying to make peanut butter the problem is it gets so thick it doesn't fall down on the blades so you have to stop and push.

No, not really--it makes chips. It crisps things up without using oil. We use them to make a healthier potato chip.

These Vit. K were very small. So, yes you can squeeze the oils out but I'm not sure how much you would waste in the process.

I haven't tried squeezed raw potatos from my press but I'd think it would work as long as you kept the portions small. The press container will hold about 1 quart of fruit, etc. When I was pressing currant berries, I found that it worked better if I didn't try to squeeze a whole quart and instead pressed out smaller portions. Takes longer of course, but it worked for me. My guess is the same would work for potato.
