Can I make peanut butter with this grinder? Has anyone tried this product for that?

I would not use this grinder to make nut butters. (I make my own nut butters all of the time, in my 14 c. Cuisinart Food processor, which does an amazing job. In my experience, you need at least a 7 cup food proc. to make any nut butter). This little grinder is not meant for the motor to be running for as long as it takes to make nut butter.

Sandra yes it can. I use for grinding mixed nuts that I keep in the firdge and add a tablespoon to my breakfast shake each morning. It is one of the best units I have found so far. Blades are very sharpe and the white blade unit pulls up and out for cleaning. It is not quite as fine as a hand grinder but I love it and use each week. M

It should work. It has the horse power. Peanut butter is thick so make sure it is at room temperature then start at the top and work your way down slowly.

I'm sure you could, We made chocolate and it turned out very smooth, Nut butter would probably turn out good. You would probably want to pre-grind the nuts a little but cause large pieces can bind the machine up. the texture you get would probably be close to nuttella as opposed to peanut butter.

It will not grind anything with moisture, so nuts are not a possibility. It will ruin the grinder

I would be shocked to know this would work with nut butters. I wasn't even able to make them with my old Breville Blender, which was a pretty powerful blender. I make nut butters in my high speed blender withno problem. This immersion blender is awesome for use on the stove or whipping up quick salad dressings . . .but I really wouldn't recommend trying it on nut butters. It's great on juicy foods or foods with liquid them, though.

I absolutely do NOT recommend this grinder for making cat food. See my review for more on this. In the comments, I include a link to the grinder I finally settled on and am loving!

The blender will not grind nuts into powder as there is a lot of oil contained in nuts; this blender will grind nuts into nut butter; ie., peanuts into peanut butter. The blender will also grind coffee beans. If coffee beans are ground too fine, the coffee brewed from such fine ground beans will taste unpleasantly bitter.

Not sure what you're trying to make, but I'd say no. I put in peanuts (only), turn it on, and get peanut butter. I'm not making any additions, nor is there anyway to grind the nuts less. It is good peanut butter though.

I believe the hand blender would work very well for mayonnaise, but I doubt it could grind nuts. Might have to find another kitchen gadget to do that.

Well I make home made peanut butter and also home made dough for bread and pizza. And it works perfect for me. I love love love my DLC-2007N.

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!

Ive used it for seeds ... not the cinnamon maybe if you broke them up so not as long. I tend to use grinders for pepper and use coffee mills Not the burr type or mortar for the rest of my spices so they can be more cleaned up . Which would be almost impossible with this grinder.

Yes. You mix the amount you need and use it exactly like peanut butter. Do not add it as a powder (unless PB2 comes out with a recipe book)

you can but the thing about peanut butter is the stickiness....might want to oput a little down and mash this into it...it is not sticky.

I haven't tried. I am not sure but it might be worth a try. Many people use a coffee grinder for flaxseed (keep an extra for this unless you REALLY like coffee.)

I'm reading these questions, because I've received this item as a much-wanted gift. (I'm thrilled!) And, coincidentally, I've just read an interesting series of posts about using a pestle and mortar for making nut butters on another site. See link. (I hope it's OK to post it.) Look for the comment and answers from a poster named Nablusiya. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/796482?page=all
