Although the Blendtec Twister Jars are recommended for nut butters, how will does the wildside jar make them? Can you make a small quantity?

The Twister jar is INFINITELY superior for nut butters, mayonnaise and purees over the Wildside jar, by far. Can the Wildside jar make them adequately? Yes, but only just.

Yes you can virtually do anything with the Wildside Jar it just give you more room to work with inside and the 5th side of the jar let's the power of this blender mix your ingredients better. As usual, read the instructions and look at you tubes for advice.

I just read a review by some other customer about this product different brand "Compact Table Top Grinder -110volts 2 Ltrs". She has already bought and tried it for producing nut butter. I have copy pasted her question/comment. Since she has already bought it, You can probably ask her user experience. Normally, in my country we use this primarily for grinding soaked rice, lentils, beans and black gram etc. I bought this item to make nut butter for my raw food restaurant where we make our own almond butter. The most efficient way I have found to do this is to first process the nuts in a cuisanart until they are pretty fine, then add them to the stone grinder. We add almond oil for a smooth consistency. If you leave the top of and help it along with a spatula for the first five minutes and then let it go for another five. Another review said you shouldn't let it run for more than a half hour because the motor isn't that strong and it usually takes less than ten minutes to make about 4 cups of...

The Wildside jar will handle a single serving. I sometimes make a smoothie that is about 8 oz.

I don't have a twister jar and I use mine just for green smoothies. With that use, it also vibrates a LOT because I use frozen fruit and veggies. I generally put my hand on the top of the jar for the first few seconds to keep it from walking around the counter until the frozen pieces have hit the blade a couple times. It's definitely loud too. I do like it a lot. Much better than the Nutribullet that I had before it. The only thing I don't like is that flaxseed sticks to the jar and it's hard to clean.

No I have never used it to make nut butters however I've used the whip attachment to make mayonnaise? I would think you would use the multi-purpose blade to break up the nuts to a paste, then may be use the mincer or something to smooth it out? Probably would help to use a tall narrow vessel such as the 600 mL beaker.

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.

I use only the wild side jar...works for all my needs: juice, soups, smoothies.

It depends on the nut butters and their oil content. Any time you try to wash something that contains oils it can be difficult. As far as getting the nut butters out, it is a piece of cake. The twister jar comes with a custom spatula that does a great job of getting in the hard to reach areas. Honestly, just soak with a decent soap and hot water and you should be fine. The big picture is nutbutters without other ingredients and healthier living :)

The Blendtec Website states that there is a 3 year warranty on this Twister Jar. I personally own it and love it. Fantastic for more sticky / thicker blends.

Yes, but if you read the comments here, the twister lid makes it easier. So it might help to purchase one with a twister lid or get a twister jar as a second jar. Lots of ideas here: http://www.blendtec.com/recipes/nut-butters

Never leak??!! I have a two month old Blendtec Wildside (96 oz BPA-free) jar that is leaking (more accurately, pouring) out the bottom. I sure do hope this is just a rare fluke, but I have my doubts. I'm sure Blendtec will replace it, but is this just going to keep happening?

I use it all the time to prepare nut butters. Best part is, I don't need to add oil like I did with my old BlendTec

I'll have to say no ~ I do have the Evriholder Easy Twist jar opener for approx. $7.00 which i just love for all other jars, it has 4 jar size openings, you just slip it over & squeeze. hope this was helpful.

YouTube, Google, and trader Joe's would be your best bets.... I made some body and hair butters with the mango butter I purchased. Using all essential oils bought from earthfare. Just be careful not to heat the butter too much, nor in the microwave.

The wild side jar is the newer of the two jars and is the one that most people now swear by. We have the wild side jar and the twister jar and that seems to suit most of our needs.

yes! I compared this to the vitamix and decided to keep this one for 1/10 the price. It made both almond and coconut butters just as smooth as well a blending the greens in green smoothies. The only difference is it takes a few minutes longer. Keep tamping at the edges and it will liquify then let it run for a few minutes...I leave the room :)

The WildSide jar is 90 oz. The Blendtec website http://www.blendtec.com/products/total_blender_classic_combo?gclid=CMOJ0qr7kbwCFepDMgodVD4AIQ states that the WildSide jar is nearly 3 quarts; one quart=32 ounces
