Can it grind soy nuts into butter? Which grinder(s) can grind nuts into butters?

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

The Cuisinart Stainless Steel Spice And Nut Grinder is advertised as capable of doing nut grinding. Does this work better or worse? The Cuisinart device looks like it is not heavy duty. But I'm guessing it will create nut butters.

I would probably take a chance at nut butter but would hesitate to crush ice. The problem is that everything is in Japanese so you have to guess how to use it. I would have sent it back but I needed something immediately.

You won't be able to use this with soy beans. Soy beans are oily and the oil will cause the grinder to clog. The instructions also mention this if you are able to access the instructions online.

I have made almond butter with a blendtec, I believe it has about 2000 Watts. The machine smoked and almost burned. Try to stir peanut butter with a spoon to get an idea what will happen to a high Speed blender. With care you can make almond butter with a blendtec. But I bet you will burn this nutribullet in 30 seconds. They are not made for differing Speeds and differing things, only for high Speed Juice.

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.

I really don't know. I would first research how other people make nut butter, what kind of tool they use. If they say a blender then I see no reason why you could not use this for that then.

Yes, you can. The time will vary, but as long as you keep at it, this machine will make almond butter. At first it will look like a lot of chopped nuts, possibly powder. Let it continue. It'll start looking clumpy and slightly wet. After a while, it becomes smooth. Mine takes less than 15 minutes.

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. :)

This isn't what you'd use for nuts - this would turn them into mush.This grinder is for meat.

I have made peanut butter in it but have not tried almonds. Works great for peanut butter! Hope this helps!

For crushing Flax seeds get an electric grinder. Pestals are for crushing and mixing small amounts of spices and medcinals... For bigger jobs like crushing pepper, coffee bean, black pepper, cinnamon sticks, and seeds like Flax, you want an electric grinder. A regular electric coffee grinder works great... Makes great all natural peanut and almond butter as well.

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.

Actually, I do use the "Premier Wonder, 1.5L" to make peanut butter. You just have to take it easy on the machine by putting the seeds into a food processor and chopping them for a solid minute. Then, add the powdered seeds to the grinder very slowly. Also, keep the fastening nut kind of loose for awhile until you see that the seeds are smooth and becoming liquid. At that point you can add more powder, slowly. Note that this will only work on oily seeds. If there is not enough fat content in the seeds, it will never be a liquid. Peanuts are 50% fat/oil, so they work well. Sunflower seeds are also roughly 50% fat, sesame seeds are just a little less, so I would expect them both to work.

I have made almond butters that are amazing. I did have to add oil, just as with a Vitamix. Almonds are hard, and more difficult to process than other nuts. I tried soaking raw almonds and it did not work. just became a gooey mess which I threw out. With the roasted almonds I find I have to pulse manually and use the stick, and it takes longer than the advertised minute. But, end result is great. Cleaning is easy. warm water a drop of dish soap and use the cleaning program. Then again with just warm water.

I'm answering an old question, but yes, it can grind seeds. I made tahini with it the other day -- just sesame seeds and olive oil. It worked very well.

It can make a coarse flour from almonds but if you go just a wee bit too long it starts turning into a coarse grind almond butter.

I bought it to make peanut butter which I was not successful at doing. When I tried to make it I ended up with very small granules of peanuts. I would suggest that you buy a coffee bean grinder.
