I need very fine ground walnut (like a cream) for a special food. I tried to find such a thing in the stores, but I couldn't (maybe since I didn't know under what name I should find it). Now, I am going to grind walnut, but not sure with what device. I know that fat of walnut may hurt the device. So, what should I do? Any suggestion?

I have tried it and it definitely can hurt the device! But depends on the power of that and its brand..., based on your answers, I couldn't decide on the device, but it seems coffee grinder or mini food processor would work. Thanks!

Sometimes you can find walnut paste in the Health Food section of a grocery store or at a Health Food store. I make mine using a food processor.

The fat of the walnut isn't going to hurt anything. But be aware that nut butters are ground between stones to a paste. Neither your food processor or your coffee grinder are going to give you that result.

of the tools you mentioned I'd use the coffee grinder after cleaning it out thoroughly. A spice grinder would work also. Be sure you use blanched walnuts (skin removed) or it might add a bitter flavor to your dish.
Remember to clean it out after you grind the nuts or your coffee will taste like walnuts. Using it a few times to grind spices or nuts won't hurt it.

food processor....the oils in the nuts will foul a grain grinder or a coffee grinder very quickly.

One thing you can do is break it to pieces and then use the coffee grinder

A bullet grinder, or a coffee grinder...either one can be cleaned once you're done....good luck....

food processor.
You only use coffee grinders for coffee or good weed.

depends on texture but I would just put them in a plastic food storage bag and hit them til they are the right consistency..cheap and less clean up.
