Wow. I just tried this method and it works perfectly in the small bowl of the processor. The peanut butter comes out so smooth (I didn't add additional peanut pieces at the end), and this took no more than five minutes (if that.) I'm glad I've found your video, thanks so much! AND it's a heck of a lot quieter than using a high-speed blender.
I’ve made tahini (ground sesame seeds) in my 35 year old Braun food processor. It takes at least five minutes and the thing heats up a lot, but has never pooped out on me. I will try the peanuts.
Excellent video, and bravo for sharing! Commercial peanut butter mostly contains added palm oil, which comes from some of the most abused and biodiverse tropical forests on earth. You show making one's own PB at home is clearly a cinch, so thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for a great video with great commentary! I tried making a nut butter in my food processor but gave up at the crumbly stage, because it was so loud. I now know that it takes four minutes! Thank you :)
Thanks for such an interesting video. I have a similar KitchenAid 13-cup food processor (mine does not have variable speed or variable slicing controls), and I was wondering if the smaller bowl would work for making peanut butter. Glad I've found this, and I'll try it soon. BTW, I bought a Breville Boss blender, which I never used apart from plugging it in. I returned it because of the NOISE, unbelievably loud. So now I'm extra glad that I know I can use the quieter food processor for making peanut butter. Thanks again!
I just got that Food Precessor and I was thrilled to try it for the first time yesterday. I chopped Almond in the little bowl at low (like written in the booklet) and the machine was shaking and I got almonds powder all over the big bowl also. And, almond little chunks were going up in the 3 pieces openning. First my very first Food precessor experience EVER... I was kindda puzzled and I was scared I made a bad choice. It looks like yours don't do the same. I will try something else this week but... I am glad I just saw your chopping experience and it seem the nuts don't spread everywhere in the big and small bowl!
I do find there is some "debris" in the seams...you can scrape it back into the bowl. Also, almonds will be harder to break down compared to peanuts. I'll try to do almond butter in the coming days and see how it works out!
in my country, this is how we make a traditional sweet. but you add brown sugar to taste and a bit of cinnamon while it's processing. then you spread it on a tray or baking sheet to say...1/2 inch thickness. run your knife through it to make little cubes and put it in the freezer for a few hours. children love it.
Liyyah Tijjani ...When is the best time to add sugar or any other flavor on the peanut butter.? I made an almost perfect consistency but when I add sugar and some butter it looks like dry..thanks for your answer.
yeah...it tends to do that sometimes. add the sugar at the beginning then. that way the oils from the peanut will work on incorporating the sugar. if it's still dry...add 1 teaspoon of groundnut oil or eyeball it according to the quantity of peanuts you are using. good luck!
So much better than in my Vitamix which sounds and smells like the motor is burning out and they even have a warning about it on the website. THANK YOU. (and yes I saw your Blendtec twister jar PB review which is how I found you LOL)
Great re how you found me. :-) Peanut butter is so easy in the Blendtec twister jar. That's what I use now. But the food processor also did an excellent job.
Omg I’m so glad I read this about the Vitamix! I was about to try and make peanut butter in it but decided to look it up with the food processor first.
that peanutbutter ball ,u can make a big Reese's peanut butter ball with that! I'm at salvation army, they have a whole set Cuisinart in a box here older one for $14.99 after watching this I'm going to buy it,
+WorldOfRandomStuff I'm one of those girlies who absolutely loooooooves peanut butter!. I specifically like the smooth kind. I was never a fan of the crunchy kind. As I have Autistic Spectrum Disorder, I'm a very particular eater, and I'm not fond of crunching on chopped peanuts in a peanut butter sandwich. Nowadays, I'm trying to trade preservative-laden store bought ingredients for natural, preservative-free, quality ingredients like you're making. I'd certainly love to have one of those Kitchenaid food processors, but I bet it's a bit spendy! I have a Kitchenaid blender, Model KSB560ER1, which I bought on my birthday about 3 or 4 years ago. I got it on sale at Target for $70.00! I wonder if they might have a Kitchenaid food processor like the one in this video.
"Hi! I love almond butter. I bought a 14-cup Kitchen aid food processor, just to make almond butter. The first two times I made almond butter, I did in a breeze. By the third time, it started taking longer and longer to make. The fifth time it took 1 hour to break down the nuts into butter. Are there any tips on how to use a food processor to make almond butter. Does it has to be stopped every such and such minutes? Please help. Thanks! Have you tried doing the almond butter. Thanks
Hi, I'm not sure. Almond butter is harder to make. Perhaps chopping/pulsing first? A tip might be to add a little bit of oil to help the process along because almonds are much dryer.
What do you mean by the "mini"? I definitely want to get the Twister jar. It seems to be the BEST at quickly making any nut butter, and so fast. Because I got my mom the Oster Versa, I simply haven't tried making nut butter in my traditional Blendtec yet. However, I definitely preferred the KitchenAid. Not because it's better--the Oster is faster--but because it's far easier to clean! You can easily get out every drop with a spatula because it's so wide. Just like you can get out practically every drop with a Blendtec because of the wide base and dull blade design.
Very true I made peanut butter in the wildside and it was quite easy, but at the end it ended up taking 4 minutes lol. Yeah Blendtec has two twister jars the mini which is half the size of the twister jar and the regular twister jar.
