Does this grind nuts for nut butters

This dry container grinds things into powder/flour. The nut butters are easier to make in the wet container. The knives in the wet container pulls the foods in/down to emulsify them, the knives in the dry container push the items up/apart so it becomes nice and fluffy powder. I tried to do nuts in the dry container once, but it never became a nice smooth butter.

It could grind nuts into a powder or fine grist @ least. As for butter... I'm not surehow it would handle the addition of liquid??? You would then have to PRESS the butter down and into the shoot.

I use mine to grind almonds and get almond milk as well as grind peanuts to make peanut butter. I should think it could grind rice too.

My experience is thatthat it does a wonderful job off smooth nut butter. Lots of videos demonstrating that very thing.Bob

No, it is not recommended for oily product. Wheat is the only thing I grind with it. If you want to grind nuts or any other oily nut, you need to get a manual grinder with steel burrs. No electric, that I know of, will do nuts.

Get a Cuisinart food processor. They are amazing, and worth every penny. I have a 14 cup size, but you can get something as small as a 7 cup and it will still work for you. Good luck! I make nut butters all the time. The motor on this grinder is not meant for that work.

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

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.

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.

I grind nuts in it often and it works great. The trick is to let them completely cool after toasting them, before putting them through the grinder

This grinder produces a coarse grind as is shown in the product photo of ground nutmeg. If you truly need a "dust-like" consistency, such as that of store-bought ground oregano, then I don't think this product will meet your needs.

This is mostly a meat grinder. I am afraid it would turn nuts into a pulverized state or even slight paste. Although, Weston All-Purpose Seed, Nut and Spice Grinder might serve the purpose.

Probably, although I haven't had occasion to use it for nuts. Have mostly used it for parsley, onions, carrots, other veggies.

I haven't tried it with nuts or grains. I mostly used it to grind up cinnamon so far. But it should grind nuts.

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

I used to grind nuts with a hand-held Cuisinart grinder/chopper, but the results were more powder or paste with a few large chunks. The Hazel Nut Grinder finely chops nuts into a uniform mixture. The chopped nuts still have texture, but there are no large chunks.
