can you dry nuts such as filberts in this unit?

I soak raw cashews for two hours and drain, then I place them in the dehydrator. It takes about 12 hours to dry them properly for the recipe I use to make kale chips. Google recipes will all say 12-24 hours, if I remember correctly.

I've never dried nuts, but I don't see why you couldn't. It might take a while though, since thin slicing of most foods makes for timely dehydrating.

Yes you can, I regularly make nut butters. For me it takes about 20mins at the most to get the nuts I've used so far to a smooth consistency (peanuts, hazelnuts). The blades do get build-up from process, so if you plan on making several batches, just wash the blades between batches in order to get the best results each time.

I have not used it to make peanut butter from raw nuts, but it did puree dried figs (quartered and soaked in Marsala) very nicely. It should work on nuts.

I really don't know why you would want too??? You certainly wouldn't want the humidity in the produce area to be dry. Plus the crystals in the container I'm sure aren't to be used around fool.

I use mine for only nuts. It will grind them to any degree of fineness you prefer, including to paste (almost butter) texture. Works best if you don't fill it too full. It's a dandy little appliance and well worth the price.

I am not sure about that. I did make 'cashew ricotta cheese' on it once, and it came out so creamy and smooth so I tend to think maybe you can. It seems to be ok with soaked nuts anyay.

I use the large nut wizard for walnuts and the medium one for pecans. I would think the medium model would be better for hazelnuts. They both work great. I have given them as gifts to friends also. Good luck! Joanne

I have loads of hickories but you would have to place the nuts clear back at the point of impact. In essence, the nuts may be too small for this cracker.

Have you tried heating the nuts via the heating cup atthe tip area of the Churn? I am not confident at the ability of this unit to do what it is supposed to. I haven't tried heating the walnuts first. You may wish to try this.... All the best

Of course you can. I also had some left over of yam, and I simply sliced them and dried. It came out like yam chips. This thing will dry anything as long as you don't need them in one hour or so. If you are new with this, just make sure the bottom of the unit is clear when you dry something, and you won't have any over-heating like some reviewers complaint about. I have been using them (2 of them I have now) for over 10 years for various items from beef jerky to anything you want to dry.

You can put different kinds of nuts in the bulk candy pods and it works quite well. You cannot use the gum ball pod for smaller items such as nuts, m&m;'s, skittles etc as they will just fall thru.

Sorry, I cannot. I only have two of them and they are both filled with crackers that get regular turnover, so I would have to dump out the crackers, fill the jars, wash them and wait for them to dry and I don't really want to leave the crackers sitting out in a bowl. It does hold a gallon of liquid.

You can use the same wet nuts. I think the instructions to let them dry are mostly so people don't let them get moldy.

If the nuts are chopped fine it might work. If not then add the nuts as a topping for the muffins. Use work for mini muffin tins. Has great control of the amount of batter dispensed

I have not tried nuts in it yet. Probably would need to soak the nuts first.

I would say no, the coating should be dry to use this machine. Drop something wet into regular hot oil in a fry daddy.

I used mixed seed & small nuts but never dried fruit. Not sure how it would work with dried fruit
