has anyone used this to make hummus?

Yes, I have, and it works just fine. However, it makes a much smaller amount than you could make in a larger prep machine. I also made guacamole, using 2 avocados, and it worked okay, but the guacamole had some small lumps at the end, which was fine with me, because I like a less smooth texture for guacamole. By the way, a small can of garbanzo beans works well, or about a cup of fresh beans. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have. It works wonderfully. It is the best processor! I absolutely, 100% love this machine. I think everyone should own one, it's that good!

Yes- I had some difficulty getting it super smooth. Not as quick as my old processor.

I love my chopper--but, I think it would be too sm. for making hummus. Get the larger size of this brand. The motor is very strong/long lasting. Donna

I have made Hummus with this product and it works perfectly. In fact, that's why I purchased it and I love it!!

I personally have not but I can't see why it should not work. Maybe clean up would be a hassle.

I have! I use the "dough" option (I think #9) and it works great! I use a recipe from a cookbook I own. 1 Cup of water, 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, 3 Cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. Salt, 2 Tbsp. dry yeast. Let the machine do the work, and 1.5 hrs later..boom! Pizza dough ready for handling or freezing for later! :) (Optional flour combos I've done: 1/2 C. Corn meal flour, 1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour, and 1 C. bread flour. You can also add spices like garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme...to add extra flavor!)

Hi. I have not but I've made roasts and its a great heavy duty pan. Very pleased with it.

I have not. But judging from the fact that my griddle warped on medium-high heat after only weeks of use, I would not use it. Great for pancakes, torillas, eggs over easy.

I have before, but found it wasn't as filling as milk. I actually use almond milk- which makes it a thicker consistency without using ice in a blender like they suggest.

Yes. I have, and it worked fine. Just make sure you grab the handle only, and even then, you may want to use an oven mitt or something.

Like the other people here said this gadget is great for perfert mashed potatoes, baby food strainer, and I like the comment about using it for chick peas to make hummus! I just purchased for potatoes but intend on trying for others foods!

We have never done it, but I have found a link to making Greek yogurt which is thicker using another similar dehydratorhttp://www.ehow.com/how_8342492_make-yogurt-home-excalibur-dehydrator.html

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

It doesnt chop very well so i bought a different one. I don't think your hummus would come out very smooth

I have, and it has worked great. I used the recipe found at http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2012/04/all-natural-homemade-marshmallow-chicks-honey-sweetened.html.

No, I haven't...I have used it primarily in smoothies and oatmeal and love it for it's taste and ease of use in recipes.

Yes, but I only put in half the can of chickpeas at a time (with half the garlic etc), because it's a little chopper. Then I just stir the whole thing together in a bowl.

I have not but it works great for spice bottles. I'm sure it would work for baby food as well. The non skid pad works pretty good.

I have. Make sure you do it in between bananas or it will all come out in a puff :)

I haven't used mine yet, but I bought it to grind wheat, corn, and heavier grains. I would throw sesame seeds and poppy seeds into my Vitamix to grind them I think. I grind peanuts in my food processor to make peanut butter...I make hummus and grind everything in my food processor, but usually buy my tahini (sesame seeds--sim sim) already ground. I would think unless you were grinding up a huge amount of sesame seeds I'd stick to one of those for grinding. I think they'd gum up the works of the corn grinder unless you stopped before they turned to paste. For tiny amounts of poppy seeds I'd use a coffee grinder (new one, not old fashioned).
