Has anyone chopped nuts (almonds, pecans,cashews, peanuts) with this ? Do they come out somewhat even ?

It is relative to the time and speed blending. Even turning into pure butter; if done for this wish.

We tried making almond butter with this blender and were not successful. It's partially our fault for thinking that if you soak the nuts for a few hours it would help blended them up faster. We have not tried since then. I know this does not necessarily answer your question but thought I would share my experience.

I mainly use the blender for salsas and smoothies. Although, one of the ingredients for smoothies are nuts. I have noticed that in order to blend the seeds or nuts, i have to push it to the highest speed. Is this normal?

Yes, in fact you can make excellent nut butters that are consistently smooth and creamy. Our of you prefer, just chop them up.

I have blended peanut and almonds with water into a very fine drink. If you don't have enough water the blender will overheat and shut off. I have not been able to make pure nut butter, but can finely chop nuts with my muffin batter or green drinks.

I chop pecans, almonds, chocolate morsels. Try pushing several times, no too long, or you end up with nuts powder.

I'm not using my Dash daily yet, and I don't know about nuts in it. I tried to bring coconut flakes into flour, and didn't consider the moisture, I got a great paste! It's pretty powerful, I would think it would do the job great.

Excellent, this little chopper will chop nuts with no problem at all,you can chop large or small (if you need finely chopped) just give the red top an extra light push. The blade is extremely sharp.I do not put mine in the dishwasher.This chopper is so useful, use it once and you are hooked.

I even didn't try it with peanuts, almonds or any other nuts only grains. But I am very disappointed! Very bad quality! I wouldn't recommend for any food purpose.

While this would work it's a little bit of overkill as it was designed for tougher nuts. This is how we do pecans and it works great, especially since you get complete halves most of the time. Hope this helpshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGSR8t0bYRw

Yes, we have turned chicken, steak, etc...into a liquid for our baby. I have never tried nuts but I am sure it would work.

The Wondermill milling chamber will get blocked up if you use oily nuts like walnuts. When milling nuts like almonds, they should be roasted and dried or they will get stuck.

I personally blend my golden flax seeds with whole almonds every morning. I blend them on "chop" in my blender. My blender is a Cuisinart. Good luck.

Hello. Oh gosh, I have never used the chopper for that. I do have a bag of almonds, if I get a chance this weekend, I will try it and see how it handles that and let you know. I hope this helps.

Yes but we haven't done any kind of nuts yet since we have bought ours. I'm thinking that will probably get tested out this holiday season. I will let you know how it goes if you are still interested..

I've made a nut "cream" with soaked cashews and the soaking liquid, with good results. I use my food processor for nut butters, and wouldn't even try it in this blender. I think that it wouldn't work well and it looks like it would be a pain to scrape a nut butter out of ANY blender. UPDATE: I decided to try it myself. This blender had no problems being adequately powered for the job. The cashew butter that I made turned out much smoother and creamier than with my food processor. I did need to add water so that it would blend without my scraping the sides every few seconds. But when I refrigerate it, it will be solid enough.

Absolutely. I chopped a few cups of pecans in it for my cooking class. It is very powerful. I wish I had bought this one for myself instead of the cuisinart.

I have. Make sure you do it in between bananas or it will all come out in a puff :)

I haven't ground almonds yet but I have ground oats and Himalayan salt. It ground the oatmeal almost as finely as what I've purchased from the grocery store. The Himalayan salt chunks, ground into an extremely fine powder, almost too fine. Also, it seems like there's not a lot of variation from fine to course. It all seems about the same. One more important thing.... you have to take it apart EVERY TIME YOU USE IT! If you don't take it apart, stuff will be all stuck up inside the grinder and it may get all disgusting. It's not difficult, but it's a hassle.

I have chopped pecans in it before but I was not able to get the nuts to a super fine consistency you would need for pesto. The nuts clumped towards the bottom and I was having to scoop them out to further chop. A real food processor, even a small, compact one works better for this purpose.

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