A food processor does a great job of making peanut butter. Ive made it before. Oil comes out of the nuts while you are doing it so you dont need to add anything. I have tried using a blender too, it doesnt work half as well. Still works but it takes a very long time.

Yeah, thatâs what I took from the video too, but Iâve never tried it (canât stand peanuts).
Like you say, most blenders wonât be great because they donât work very well with entirely solid ingredients. Not enough mixing/flow of the ingredients I think, so after the first pulse the blade just spins in a little cavity without doing very much and with little resistance. I have used blenders before for stuff like that (grinding spices, making breadcrumbs, making icing sugar, etc.), but they donât like it very much lol, and it seems to eventually break the seals.
I tried it with peanuts and made another out of hazelnuts. Both worked good. I guess almonds would work not sure about seeds. Yea that happened when i tried to use a blender, i was forever manually shoveling it into the middle.
Thanks for sharing, but because almost all kinds of nuts and seeds, and especially almonds, create a high amount of cancer-causing acrylamide when roasted or toasted, I prefer to eat raw nut butters.

Thanks Quesito. Just curious whether you have had ever had a Coupang shipment of that or a similar glass-bottled food item from Korea. I recently had an iHerb shipment from Korea, and they used a very sticky and gluey bubble wrap directly around the bottles that left very sticky glue all over the bottles and a stong noxious glue odor all over the outside and even some glue odor INSIDE the bottles (some of the strong glue fumes permeated through the cap-glass interface during shipment).
I just got Mexican hot sauce and it was first wrap in cardboard and then bubbles. No glue
I havenât ordered food from overseas on Coupang, but Iâve ordered it locally as well as other stuff from Korea (a cast iron pan) and everything seemed pretty well packaged. I wouldnât be too worried about that.
Theyâve got some pretty good prices too. I get the impression they offer quite steep personalized discounts for stuff youâve looked at before but ended up not purchasing (it was like that with the Lodge cast iron pans for me, which would be a weird coincidence if it wasnât personalized). Maybe to do with them investing quite a lot to break into the Taiwanese market.
Thanks for sharing. Itâs just that an expensive raw nut butter being contaminated by noxious glue fumes inside the bottles, to which the raw but butter was exposed, is not acceptable. I previously had another iHerb shipment of the same product from the U.S. that came with the bottle first wrapped in a sealed plastic bag and without any of that sticky, gluey kind of bubble wrap, but unfortunately now all iHerb shipments to Taiwan come from their Korea warehouse.
*nut nut butter (not raw but butter LOL)
marasan, do you know whether Costco in Taiwan currently sells this item in their stores? I saw someone online say that Costco stores in the U.S. no longer sell this item.
Trader Joeâs in U.S. has roasted almond butter. Whole Food has both unroasted(raw) and roasted almond butter.
No, I donât. We bought our last jar a few months ago and still have some left.
