I have not read any review about making nut butter and wonder how does this machine work in this area and how to avoid any processing problems.

There are a few online videos about making nut butter with this product. I have not personally made any but for the most part the nut butter comes out more chunky. If you want a smooth nut butter you should use a food processor.

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.

I have not written a review yet about the Tribest yet but I am going to! I have only used it for juicing for a month and LOVE it! But when I try it for nut butter, I will post! Good Luck!

With the Tribest SW-2000-B Slow Star Juicer you use the mincing attachment to make nut butters. The mincing attachment uses the auger and not the screen. When you run nuts through the machine with the mincing attachment on, the nuts will come out almost powdery the first time through. You may want to run the nut ingredients through up to 5 times to get a creamy consistency. The more you run the nut mixture through, the creamery it gets. You also may want to add a little neutral tasting oil to you nut butter to increase the creaminess. Many commercial nut butters have added oil. The oil can be added when the nuts go through the machine or after you are done running the nuts through the machine. I hope this information helps you. VeggieSensations

We've used ours to make nut butters, almond flours, soups, smoothies, ice creams and the like. We have not used it to make dressings but I cannot see why it would not work just as well. As for the person below who's caught fire.....wow, never heard of such a thing happening. We've owned ours for a year and use it frequently. No issues as of yet. The key to using ANY of these high power blenders is to use common sense. If you can tell the unit is struggling, back off a bit, use your tamper, go back to work. I've found that this will do just as good a job as others costing twice as much. Just don't be a gorilla on the power button, use your brain.

You really want a blender for creamy nut butters - you can do the initial chopping in a food processor, but a blender will give you better results. :)

Not sure why I am getting questions - you need to ask the manufacturer - I just gave a review when I purchased some almond butter

I've used it to make peanut butter, but not almond butter. Really great machine for everything I've tried.

No. The unit really heats up. So you'd have nut butter, but not really as the machine would likely seize up. It was only designed for wheat, rice, bean flours and the like. Honestly, as I don't eat beans rice or wheat anymore, I got rid of the machine.

i used it with cocoa nut oil to make my body butter. i have seen alot of people warm the shea butter till it melts then cool it then whip it. i found alot of my info on youtube. with a hand mixer it takes longer in my kitchen aide on high it took15min and i dident warm it.

I've made a nut "cream" with soaked cashews and the soaking liquid, with good results. I use my food processor for nut butters, and wouldn't even try it in this blender. I think that it wouldn't work well and it looks like it would be a pain to scrape a nut butter out of ANY blender. UPDATE: I decided to try it myself. This blender had no problems being adequately powered for the job. The cashew butter that I made turned out much smoother and creamier than with my food processor. I did need to add water so that it would blend without my scraping the sides every few seconds. But when I refrigerate it, it will be solid enough.

It came with a smaller container that is supposed to be for food processing. Yes, you definitely can make milk shakes. But, I have no idea if it could make peanut butter. I wanted it to make smoothies, but it does not chop or blend frozen fruit well at all. That is why I bought it, so I was disappointed from that aspect. I would just be concerned that if it can not chop frozen fruit well, it may not successfully blend peanuts into peanut butter.

It is very important that you make sure you leave no air holes when you put the butter in the butter keeper. Smooch it in real good. It is what I do and I have never had a problem.

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

We tried making almond butter with this blender and were not successful. It's partially our fault for thinking that if you soak the nuts for a few hours it would help blended them up faster. We have not tried since then. I know this does not necessarily answer your question but thought I would share my experience.

I'm sorry it seems as though your problem is unique to your machine. Mine works perfectly and I have never used any kind of spray or butter on it, I would follow the suggestions of spraying the surface while cold and maybe it will season itself again.

No but you can make delicious amazing nut butters with a food processor or the vitamix.

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 :)

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.

I am ready to buy this machine, but I would appreciate someone's review on extracting cream, butter, and oil from coconut with this machine. Thanks!
