can you use this to make peanut and almond butter?

No that would be better made in a blender or food processor. This product motor is used with the Food Strainer for fruits and vegetable to make sauces and purees.

Yes. But it will take at least a half hour with the "s" blade. Almond butter is not a quick process.

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

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. :)

I have used this to make almond flour, but I have not tried peanuts or peanut butter.

I used it for peanut butter and it worked well. I sprayed it with pam first.

I would not recommend it. The density of peanut butter is too thick and sticky for this little motor. I use mine for making soaps, body butters, and healing skin balms. Mostly when mixing the oils or when I've got the soap batch mixing. As the soap batch gets thicker, however, it heats up quickly. If you have a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer, it would handle the weight better. An odd idea that comes to mind if you buy your peanut butter in larger quantities is to get a food grade 2 gallon bucket and use a drill with a brand new paint mixing attachment. Good luck!

Maybe if you add oil to the nuts before starting but it doesn't get creamy. Also you'll burn the motor out pretty fast. We make mayo every few days with the stick portion and the motor gets hot after about 30 seconds of blending. The instructions say not to run it for more than about 30 seconds at a time and when i make almond butter it takes much longer than that, so I use my blender.

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.

Absolutely! I make some very easy to make but very yummy Almond butter. Nothing else needed beside this jar and the blender.

It's only Peanuts & salt so I don't see why not . Do get a good strong knife because it does take Quite Lot of stirring & it helps much to keep flipping the jar over .

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

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.

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 have blended peanut and almonds with water into a very fine drink. If you don't have enough water the blender will overheat and shut off. I have not been able to make pure nut butter, but can finely chop nuts with my muffin batter or green drinks.

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 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.
