Can this product handle batter/sauce with chunks (like nuts or fruit bits)? Think cherries jubilee for 2,000 servings.

This is for a home use. 2000 servings would be like a restaurant / commercial "equipment". This only holds 4 cups, which is as big as you'll find for home kitchen purposes. It's good for dunut / muffin pans and a family breakfast. "Chunks" would probably cause clogging because of the small amount it holds.

Unless the bits are very finely chopped, I wouldn't recommend it. The valve will get clogged. Hope this helps.

That's an excellent question. I had no prior experience with a stand mixer, so was surprised how fast the slow/low speed was . . . however, it serves great. There are some cakes I still choose to mix by hand, because overmixing will 'toughen' the end result. But for bread, this is unbeatable!!

This will do well for nuts, but I don't think it will handle vegetables or fruit very well.

I think it depends on the recipe you use. If the batter is thick, then yes, a cone can be used, but it will be more porous than the ice cream comes you buy.mmitmworks well for a whip cream filling.

Depends. If you like it, yes! I tend to use it as a dessert-like substitute--a spoonful as a meal finisher. That means it lasts a loooong time.

It can. But even the low speed on this thing is far too fast. Unless you want to be covered in flour, you should whisk the batter first by hand till it's just incorporated, and then a few seconds with the machine to get the lumps out. Because it's so fast/powerful, you have to be careful you don't over-mix the cake which could make the resulting cake tough.

Yes, you would have absolutely NO chunks whatsoever if you pulse it on "high". If you *want* chunks, just use a lower dial #. It's all up to you. I love to add a cup of water and a whole apple, and have fresh apple juice!! Now, keep in mind, it's not actually "just juice" because the fiber is still there, where a real juicer would separate the fiber and the juice. But, I don't mind -- fiber is good. :-)

Always depends on how long you twist the cover. Short bursts will chop & longer operation will puree. Broccoli, beans, cauliflower consistency would be fine~~I wouldn't try hard carrots, sweet potatoes, etc. That would risk the blades breaking. Also, cashews, pecans OK~~not Brazil nuts. It's a tough machine, but use care. PS Do not put the bowl in the microwave. It will crack...

yes, it is good for all kinds of batters, especially since it has the handle and a non-skid ring on the bottom that prevents it from sliding on the counter top. Good for biscuit mixing since you don't want it to be mixed too smoothly.

No you can't. This product is only for thin batters like for pancakes. I tried cake batter without success.

It will chop finely, but it is definitely a learning curve on how to make it work that way. It's really easy to turn nuts into butter if you are not careful. Lots of shaking it up after a blast or two. For example: I can do it, but my wife can't. Of course that means I now have to chop all the nuts when she bakes, but it's worth the effort! ;)

Why would you want to add anything bigger than a chocolate chip anyway? The motor probably will not burn out, but it could affect the freezing of the ice cream/sorbet process.

It is adjustable from slow to very fast by using the large dial on top. Making batter should be no problem.

I think that may be difficult. The stirring mechanism does not look to be made for heavy items. Could be wrong though. Maybe if fruit was diced up fine .... may take a little more cooking.. just have to experiment. I can't say for sure, I never tried that... Good luck though..

I have used the Jam function I had some freeze dried fruit. reconstituted the freeze dried cherries and strawberries dumped them added water sugar and pectin. It works fine. You can run the cycle again if it's too liquid.

I haven't tried that yet. But I have a Yonanas Recipe book that has 120 recipes -- includes frozen berries. The pictures look like it worked with a few chunks in it. The recipes also call for frozen chocolate chips, etc. It might come out perfectly smooth, but if you're ok with some chunks, go for it.

It could probably handle it for a short amount of time-daily, probably not-i would go with the heavier duty model. We use ours daily for salad dressings, homemade mayo, and pureeing soups but usually nothing more than veggies are being pureed into the soup. Hope this helps :)
