Does it make nut butter?

Yes, it is suppose to make nut butters; however, I have not made any yet. I can't imagine there would be any problems. This machine is fantastic.

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

Peanute/cashew butter was the first thing I tried in this unit when I got it, because I was skeptical. But Oh my gosh, it makes the best, creamy, all natural nut butter of any kind! Nothing to add, just nuts! You'll love it!

It can make a coarse flour from almonds but if you go just a wee bit too long it starts turning into a coarse grind almond butter.

Not enough power to make nut butter easily. You would have to add extra oil.

I have used the grinder blade and definitely made peanut butter and almond butter with it. It's pretty amazing. I was actually just attempting to make almond flour out of it for baking purposes and before I knew it, it was butter!

The Cuisinart is junk. I bought one and it will not do nuts without jamming the blade. It certainly wouldn't do butter of any kind. It is ok as a spice grinder but for anything else its junk. Carol

It works great for making almond butter. It comes out super creamy. I use raw almonds and do not add anything else.

I believe the instructions mention making butters with it but I've never tried. I imagine you could but wouldn't get it smooth like the commercial stuff. A VitaMix or food processor would work better. Hope this helps. By the way, it's GREAT for wheatgrass/greens.

Yes, I have made peanut butter and it turns out pretty smooth. Not perfectly smooth though.

I also grind nuts into flour and nut butter but I prefer my Blentec blender for this job because of the HP. This does can do this job as well but it will probably burn out it used for long periods of time.

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!

It works great. I make peanut and almond butters all the time w/o adding oil. It takes a while - between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the nuts and their temperature. As the nuts are chopped, they warm up slightly, their oil thinning. At first a ball of "ground" nuts forms and rolls around inside the container. After a little while it will get smoother and smoother. When there is a homogenous "non-moving" puddle in the bottom. You're done.

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 almond butter.

We do not make Peanut Butter. If I were you I would google that question. Don't forget to put the name of this Food Processer.

I have made almond butter with a blendtec, I believe it has about 2000 Watts. The machine smoked and almost burned. Try to stir peanut butter with a spoon to get an idea what will happen to a high Speed blender. With care you can make almond butter with a blendtec. But I bet you will burn this nutribullet in 30 seconds. They are not made for differing Speeds and differing things, only for high Speed Juice.

This machine can make nut butters with the mincing feature. For best results you should soak your nuts for several hours in water to soften them before processing.

yes, but you must watch it closely, I made almond butter, it came out very well.

Not if you want to make nut butters. It has no internal cooling fan. If you just want to chop a few up, then yes. But if you try to use it to make nut butters, it WILL burn out. There's no escaping the laws of physics.
