Would this unit work well for making nut butters (cashew, almond, etc)?

YES! It's a great appliance, and the price can't be beat. The blade is strong (It works exactly like my cuisinart. The only real difference is that the overall machine is lot lighter/ weighs less). I've had no problem making applesauce or nut butters.

I don't typically make nut butters, but I can't imagine why this food processor couldn't handle the job. It performs just as well as any other (heavier and more expensive) food processor I've ever owned.

I did use this jar for Kirkland Unsalted Mixed Nuts make a butter very well, you don't have to add any oil!

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.

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.

It will work, but its not worth it, i have one and its defect after 2 weeks and its not make the butter effectively buy a food processor

Greetings,Not sure I would use it on nuts and seeds, they may have too much oils in them and it would be hard to clean the stones. I have only used it to make wet batters and it works great. Hope that helps

I don't think it would do well. I tried to mix garlic and butter and the butter didnt work out. It would spin around a revolution or two and then move to the top and not make contact with the blades any longer

It takes many, many nuts to make butter. Best to use a food processor. I make sunbutter and pistachio butter often, but I wouldn't ever consider making it in the mortar.

I think it does pretty well with natural peanut butter, and it does fine with my homemade almond butter (which is admittedly slightly looser than the commercial stuff) and the stiff soft doughs, like cookies and biscuits, so I would imagine it would handle commercial almond butter or crystalized honey too.

It will chop finely, but it is definitely a learning curve on how to make it work that way. It's really easy to turn nuts into butter if you are not careful. Lots of shaking it up after a blast or two. For example: I can do it, but my wife can't. Of course that means I now have to chop all the nuts when she bakes, but it's worth the effort! ;)

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

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

I don't think so, but Amazon sells nut milk bags made specifically for that purpose. This unit would also produce a VERY small quantity of milk per batch.

I have used it to mostly grind meat but it is very easy to clean and works well. I am sure it would work well with nuts.

I believe the hand blender would work very well for mayonnaise, but I doubt it could grind nuts. Might have to find another kitchen gadget to do that.

It did a wonderful job on both almonds and peanuts. Coarsely ground and would be ideal for baking.
