Hello and welcome! I’m Tarashaun, founder of Blender Babes and today I want to talk
in depth about Vitamix’s stainless steel container and also do a quick demo for you.
Now before I get into everything you need to know about the Stainless Steel container,
recently Vitamix launched a new pairing so you can get the Vitamix A3500 with the stainless
steel container INSTEAD of with the low profile 64 oz container that it typically comes with.
I want to be clear that this is NOT a bundle – you don’t get both jars. It’s just an option currently
to get the A3500 in black stainless, which is a premium finish, with the stainless steel jar.
Now we will talk about why that might a good choice for you and your lifestyle,
but you may just want to get the stainless steel container as an extra container to have
and we will discuss why now.
Here are the top 8 benefits of this stainless steel container:
One, people have been requesting that Vitamix make
a glass or stainless container for as long as Vitamix has been using a standard BPA
tritan plastic container – with the main reason being many people are wanting to use less plastic.
Now, at the making of this video Vitamix engineers did not feel a glass container would be safe and
easy to use at the same time because the weight of having a glass container would just be too heavy.
So the stainless steel container is the solution for customers who do not want to use plastic.
Two, the Stainless Steel container fits on ALL Vitamix full-sized blenders – that
includes all the Legacy, Classic and Explorian Series as well as the Smart System blenders.
So even if you currently own an older Vitamix model, you have the option of
using the stainless steel container – which is awesome – especially since new
products made by Vitamix now usually only work with Smart System blenders.
Three, the stainless steel container is odor,
stain and scratch RESISTANT! It’s NOT 100% scratch proof but doesn’t smell or get
etched and stained as easily as the plastic containers when you blend certain things.
For example, turmeric and curry and grinding certain things like coffee beans or cinnamon
sticks are NOTORIOUS for staining and leaving an odor in their plastic jars and this is usually
because of the natural oils that come out and tend to linger in those types of containers.
Four, because you can clean any staining
and it’s harder to scratch it, the stainless steel container will look
pretty for a much longer period of time. Doesn’t it look great here on the A3500?!
Five, the stainless steel container has black laser etched markings on the inside so you can
measure how much you’re putting into the jar. Now this is NOT ink and won’t come off in your food,
the markings are made with a laser. And it has a clear lid so you can see into the jar.
Six, the stainless steel container is 48 ounces. It has a 3 inch blade and a 1 cup minimum
yield – what that means is, it can blend small and medium sized batches. That can be important
for people who do not want to have to purchase additional containers to blend small batches
which you usually have to do when a Vitamix comes standard with a 64 oz low profile container.
Seven, this container can blend really cold and hot liquids. It does hold the cold and
heat more than the plastic container, they even have a little warning sign here that
shows to be more careful with hot liquids. And to help with this, there’s a thin plastic strip
on the outside next to handle which protects your knuckles from heat or cold.
And last but not least, eight – this container is dishwasher safe, which is always a plus.
So now I wanted to demonstrate blending curry powder in the Stainless Steel container. I’m going
to be blending a delicious recipe that is featured in my simple 7-Day Blender Cleanse program that my
community just LOVES! This soup was created by a Michelin star chef so I really hope you enjoy it!
We are making a 2 cup servings in each container but feel free to double the recipe.
The ingredients include: 2.5 cups of carrots, peeled and chopped or sliced
1/2 large yellow or white onion, sliced 2 garlic cloves
1.5 tablespoons curry powder 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 lime
1 tablespoon coconut oil ¾ cup low-fat coconut milk OR 1 can coconut milk
(not during cleanse) water or low sodium vegetable stock
salt and pepper 1/8 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Ok so now you can see the rich color of this soup and I can’t tell you how many
times I’ve made this in my plastic container and even if I washed it
immediately it would have a light yellow tint to it and still smelled like curry.
Now I’m going to do a typical wash with just soap and water, blending and rinsing. As you
can see all of the oils are coming out of this stainless steel container. nothing's being left
behind for your next blend, which is really nice. And I wish you guys could smell the container,
but really all the curry odor that would've been left in there is gone. It's pretty amazing.
So whether you’re new to Vitamix and might be interested in the A3500 that comes standard with
a stainless steel jar OR you want to use this stainless steel jar with a Vitamix you already
have – I highly recommend this container. Put it on your wishlist or wait for the next accessories
sale and pick one up. They usually have a discount during Black Friday and Holiday sales.
