Can this make pastes such as almond butter or hummus?

No. This is more for rough chopping ( like home made salsa or pesto) or mixing/ whipping softer items like avacado or eggs. The manual blade spinner cannot process hard items as chick peas or almonds into a paste.

Yes,it will grind as fine as you want. If you have the tine and power it will liquefy.

Don't Know. I know if you keep chopping onions with it they get really mushy!! I really just use it to dice onions and garlic for my tomato sauce. I have to be careful that I don't turn the handle too many times.

I don't really know. I'm guessing this won't work but if you have another recipe you can use the nuts for, in case it doesn't make peanut butter, I'd say go for it. I do bet a good food processor might give you something akin to peanut butter, however.Perhaps there are attachments for this machine that will do that; just don't know.

It's not smooth as a peanut butter. It would help to put it through a blender.

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

I think it can. I have only made soy and almond milk, but rice milk would be fine too. There are not a lot of instructions when you get it, so look on line.

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.

This will definately make hummus. very close to a blender. I love this processor.

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

Yes. I've used it with shredded as well as with chunks. Makes good almond milk as well.

I used it to make pasteles, which is a traditional Puerto Rican holiday dish. It was capable of grinding bananas and other hard vegetables to a pasty consistency, so I guess it will work for the nut butters you mention.

I have never made almond milk, but I bet it would work well. Makes amazing hummus.

No, it's not intended to become pastey like regular peanut butter. It is for adding the peanut butter flavor to things.

Already blended with water. I got it to make hummus but couldnt stand to eat it. Would not recommend

I am a pastry chef, so I do have some things you want to consider. You can use this by rehydrating the powder, as per directions, but the lack of fat (oils,moisture) is going to affect the texture. You should adjust the rest of the recipe by adding something that will bring moisture to the recipe and something that also acts as a tenderizer. If you just want to add it to a recipe that does not call for peanut butter, but you want the flavor, you won't have to worry too much about that.

It isnt necessary to use paste, because it isnt pc processor and it dont warm same pc processor. You need just to use the tape included.

i wouldnt try it unless u have time and more product for error. i tried with butter cream a few different ways. (frozen, cold, crusted,,,) it didnt work well at all.

It came with a smaller container that is supposed to be for food processing. Yes, you definitely can make milk shakes. But, I have no idea if it could make peanut butter. I wanted it to make smoothies, but it does not chop or blend frozen fruit well at all. That is why I bought it, so I was disappointed from that aspect. I would just be concerned that if it can not chop frozen fruit well, it may not successfully blend peanuts into peanut butter.
