Does it make baby food and turn nuts into butter?

I would say yes and no. It can take apples and make apple sauce, but carrots will be juiced and the carrot pulp will be dry. I would not want to use it as a baby food maker, that job would best be done by a food processor. As for nut butters, it does work to crush the nuts, but it is really mashed up into the screen and won't come out of the chute very well. I recommend going to www.discountjuicers.com and check out some of John Kohler's YouTube videos. He explains a lot of the uses for this machine in great detail. He may also have recommendations for a baby food producing machine that I am not aware of. Good luck!

It works great for making almond butter. It comes out super creamy. I use raw almonds and do not add anything else.

Yup. Well, I've only made almond butter, but I would think it's the same. I've also made raw cereal with it.

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

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.

I have only used it to make smoothies, but it is fantastic. I think it would work well for baby food; maybe in larger quantities than single serving however.

Yes, I have made peanut butter and it turns out pretty smooth. Not perfectly smooth though.

Based on my experience, the first three are a definite yes. Nut butter without oil is possible but time-consuming, but better than a food processor. I haven't tried adding oil to the nuts, which seems like it would make it much easier. This isn't the best tool for dough, but it can be done. A food processor or mixer is better.

I'm sorry I do not know as mine is still sitting in the box, but I did buy it to make cookie butter, just haven't gotten a chance to do it yet.

No. The unit really heats up. So you'd have nut butter, but not really as the machine would likely seize up. It was only designed for wheat, rice, bean flours and the like. Honestly, as I don't eat beans rice or wheat anymore, I got rid of the machine.

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.

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.

It can but you will need to follow additional steps.The entire process is detailed here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/how-to-make-cultured-butter/

Yes, it has a blank to do nut butters. This is a fabulous juicer, had mine for 30 years and still the same!

I would think a food mill or a food processor would be the ideal tool for pureeing food for baby.

It has plenty of power for nuts. You might have to use pulse mode to mix the nuts up more evenly. IfYou are trying to make peanut butter the problem is it gets so thick it doesn't fall down on the blades so you have to stop and push.

It does normal food prep well. I have chopped garlic, onions, shallots, and lots of fruits . I have not tried nuts but I think it does as well as any other processor I have used. I think the key to chopping is timing.
