Did you know that the Bosch Meat Grinder attachment can be used for more than just grinding up meat? It’s also a great tool for making chunky salsa, cheese balls, and NUT BUTTER (just to name a few). We’re sharing 10 nut butter recipes from across the web that make us drool. Give them a try using your meat grinder attachment and let us know what you think! It’s as simple as adding all of the ingredients straight into your meat grinder attachment and processing them a few times until you’ve expressed the natural oils from the nuts and have reached your desired consistency. We have two sizes of meat grinders one large and one small. The smaller one is much cheaper and comes with the small disks that would achieve the texture and smooth nut butter desired. If you prefer or already have the large meat grinder we advice to purchase the 2mm or 3mm disks
