Blendtec 37oz* Twister Jar (Clear), Spetacula Spatula & Mini Gripper Lid

If you own a Blendtec (and you should!), this is a must-have. We gave our old, still running V---Mix to a relative when we purchased a Blendtec, and don't regret it at all. Once this jar was marketed, we checked with relatives that already owned one and the reviews were outstanding. [Disclaimer: one of our daughters is married to the brother of one of the lead engineers on the development of this particular jar. However, we don't get discounts, we just happen to be fortunate enough to get "inside" information about the development process, etc. - nothing that helps us, just interesting info.] Our very first "project" was almond nut-butter. It turned out great - no wasted food trying to learn how to use this. We put a cup of raw almonds in this, used the twist-top to keep the sides clean and all the emerging nut-butter down in the bottom so it would continue processing, and in just a couple of minutes or so, we had delicious, fresh almond nut butter. It didn't need ANY additions, though I suppose one could add salt to taste, or other flavoring - we just didn't think it needed it. There is so much more you can do with this, including single-serving smoothies, and much more. Clean up was amazingly simple - the spatula is designed to get almost every bit - and I mean almost EVERY bit - of things like thick nut-butter out of the jar so there's no waste. Then simply put a little hot water in it, a drop or two of dish detergent, put on the top that seals (not the one used while making the nut butter), run it a few seconds, and it's clean! Rinse, dry, and you're done. The "Twister Jar" name comes from the other top that has two blade-like projections down either side. While the blender is running, you just slowly twist the jar top and the "blades" keep wiping down the sides to keep everything blending instead of sucking air down into the bottom and over-speeding the motor with nothing to blend. It really works - great engineering innovation! And the fact that our son-in-law's brother is on that team is of no consequence to us - it's just a well designed unit we're glad to have purchased at full price through Amazon. Price? A bit pricey, but I have no doubt that over time it will be well worth it. It can be used as a single serving "regular" high-speed blender that merely has a smaller jar. Or it can be used as the specialty item it's particularly suited for. Instead of using the regular sized Blendtec jar (that would take many starts and stops, having to keep pushing the substance being blended back down into the blades every few seconds), this does the job in perhaps 1/10 of the time with a whole lot less work. Our daughter had made nut-butter previously in the regular full sized jar, and it took her over 20 minutes and a lot of work. This took maybe a couple of minutes, plus a minute or two more to do clean up, with almost no waste stuck in the bottom! Go price nut butter in a health-food store, and you'll be sold on this. And in addition to the convenience, what you get is as fresh as it gets with no preservatives or other additives. In short - we LOVE this device! What a great idea to make a very difficult blending task very easy (and quick) with minimal clean up. P.S. If you've never seen the Blendtec "Will It Blend?" videos on You Tube, they're not only a great advertising gimmick, they're absolutely hilarious. You can watch the company's owner blend everything from cell phones to the plunger attachment from the competing V___Mix blender, and the motor just keeps on running - amazing, but also a great laugh. (We're told they have a lot of fun at the company. :-) )

I've had my Blendtec for years and for years I complained about the size of the container and how such a great machine should be able to make powders, pulverize veggies without a problem...although the machine is powerful the air pockets that form require you to stop the machine and stir the contents. This Twister jar is like whoa :) it pulverized my onions, garlic and ginger blend to a nice creamy consistency in 20 seconds! Homemade butter, which we make all the time was made in 40 seconds instead of minutes! The size is perfect!!!!! for making small batches and it works so quickly! I've made peanut butter (2) cycles of sauces/dips button, the peanut butter gets warm on the 2nd cycle but it's so creamy! I also made sauces for making Korean and Indian dishes in seconds! The spatula that is provided is well made and angled in such a way that it grabs almost all the goodies and leaves little for waste. I'll probably need another of these because I'll use it with other containers/bowls. The only thing I will warn you about is the twister lid is not leak proof, so it should only be used with ingredients that don't contain too much liquid. If it contains, I'd say more than 2 ounces of liquid, it may splatter. The other lid that is provided, gives a good seal for making smoothies or other recipes that contain more than 2 ounces. Also, the max fill line is at 16oz. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this container and will probably buy another because I am already using it a lot and can see how another container would be welcomed.

It goes without saying that we love our BlendTec Total Blender, and use it at least once a day to whip up our daily green smoothies. I can't imagine life without it; it has earned a permanent place on our countertop. Could the Total Blender possibly be improved upon? Well, since you asked...YES, and the BlendTec Twister Jar does the trick. We use nut butters in cooking fairly regularly, but have you checked the price of almond butter lately? Yikes! I did a down-and-dirty analysis that proved to me that the purchase of this (admittedly pricey) accessory would pay for itself in about a year, assuming that we made our own nut butters. Well, when the Twister Jar arrived today, the first thing I did (after a quick wash, of course) was to whip up a batch of almond butter. A cup and a half of raw almonds, pop the special Twister lid on the jar, cranked the BlendTec up to 7 and turned the Twister lid in a counter-clockwise direction. It took about 90 seconds to reach the consistency that I wanted, but when I opened the lid, the aroma of warm almond butter filled the air. Having just baked some whole wheat bread that was cooling on the counter, I couldn't resist slicing off a piece and slathering on some of this heady mix, and it was wonderful -- smooth, warm, creamy, perfectly blended. So, now we own the BlendTec Total Blender, the Wildside Jar, the Four-sided Jar, the Twister Jar, as well as the BlendTec home flour mill, and I have to say that the investment in these quality-made products is absolutely among the best purchases we've made. We can now easily mill our own bulk-purchased grains, make bread, then enjoy it with our own home-made (and relatively cheap) nut butters, and wash it all down with a great smoothie! I can't say enough about the BlendTec products we own. Are they expensive? Sure, but only if you allow them to sit unused in a cupboard. If you put them to use, you'll easily justify the price in money saved on processed foods and better, healthier meals. I'm a lifelong fan of BlendTec! (and though it may sound like it, I'm NOT associated with BlendTec in any way, except as a happy customer!)

It took 3 times for me to get a Twister Jar which didn't leak from the bottom, but I finally have one. Unless all you're making are smoothies, the Twister Jar is a must for nut butters, ice cream-type recipes, pureed aromatics like onions, etc... The blending power is great, and the paddle does a good job at moving around the contents because the non-Twister jars are useless for items that are chunkier. The recipe book says almond butter takes 40 seconds or until "desired consistency." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No. Unless you like powdery nutbutter, it'll take you several minutes to blend 1 1/2 cups of nuts, 4 to 5 minutes of blending and another couple of minutes to scrape down the sides because: - the blender at manual setting stops automatically after 90 minutes. - beyond the first whirling, the inside gets too hot after 60 minutes. Also, unless you're prepared to take lots of breaks for the blender to cool down, forget about keeping the nuts "raw" if you're into that kind of stuff. This is fantastic at making almond crumbs, taking maybe 10 to 15 seconds. Gorgeous powdery crumbs, though a few large chunks were there. I was a bit disappointed with a Blentec blender because it didn't blend chunky stuff that needed to be moved around, but this Twister Jar makes everything better. I don't even use the Wildside+ Jar which came with my blender. I wish the Twister Jar were large like the Wildside+, but maybe chunkier stuff isn't meant to be blended in larger amounts. Also, if you have a super-fancy Blentec with encasing to keep things more quiet, you won't be able to close the encasing since you have to twist the top while the blender is whirling. The lid does not seal tightly to a leakproof level, but then you have to turn the lid. If the contents look like it'll flow out, lower the blending power. As for cleaning, um, no, it's not as simple as dropping some dish soap, then whirling for a few seconds with water if you're blending pasty nut butters. However, the blade is blunt, so you feel very safe getting your hand in there to scrub things. For making items beyond smoothies, this is practically a must-own accessory for your Blendtec before you get so annoyed with the non-Twister jars.

I ordered this because I needed a better way to blend smaller batches of spices and nuts than the large square jar. When it arrived I was a bit skeptical. It didn't look like it was really going to work. My first effort was to reduce 6 dried Ancho peppers to powder for a rub. Infinitely easy, and I was glad the bottle wasn't smaller. The odd-shaped spiral side wipers worked well, even though dried Ancho peppers are not oily. Second effort was a lot of fresh Rosemary for a different rub. Splendid. Clean up was fast and easy. Grinding one batch instead of 20 in my spice grinder was a big benefit. Third effort was peanuts. The spiral side wipers worked again, and the wonderful scraping spatula made removal easy. I'm pretty happy. It works for wet and dry. It is good for grinding cooked meats like chicken and ham for pate. It isn't perfect, because it takes figuring out the exact best way to use it—which lid, how to stir, how to scrape the sides. And, of course, with blendtec you can expect fine grinds. Even a pulse is very fast.

My wife who watches a bunch of tiktok or Instagram stories about how people are making these smoothies in a Vitamix and they are coming out so creamy. I'm on my fourth blender container and this one saved my marriage. I had didn't have to buy a Vitamix because this container does an absolutely fabulous job at breaking down smoothies. It's easy to use. Easy to clean, and the spinning top really works to get the Frozen fruits unstuck.

I purchased this jar after deciding to go gluten free with my two boys, one of whom has ADHD. The prices of the flours used for GF baking were insane, and I figured I could just make my own. Day 1 we had warm, creamy cashew and almond butters in 40 seconds! My kids were raving about how good it was! No more $10 and up jars of nut butter for me. That alone thrills me to pieces! I also have a recipe for peanut sauce that I make and the wild side jar is too big for single servings (the ingredients didn't reach over the top of the blades) so I can now make it in lunch sized batches. I also have a very picky toddler who is more interested in running around than sitting and eating. I love that I can put a little yogurt, frozen fruit, spinach, ice, flax and milk in it and have a single portion sized lunch for her. So far I have only tried oat flour in it, but I had a smooth flour in a matter of seconds. This is a jar that I will be using several times a day, I think. I'll update if I run in to any problems, but so far this jar is a winner for me! ****update**** Just wanted to update to say that I have finally had the chance to do rice flours in it and I ended up with a nice, fine flour. I did have pitting/etching after only 3 times through (I did about 1/2 cup of rice at a time), but that is why I bought this jar, so I wouldn't scratch up my wildside jar, so I don't mind that at all. What I have ground in flour would have easily cost me $20+ to buy bagged, instead I was able to buy the big bags of rice and grind it as I need it. In rice flours alone this will pay for itself in no time. Still thrilled!

I purchased a refurbished Blendtec and got this jar as well, since it was recommended for hummus, nut butters and ice cream. I wasn't terribly impressed with the regular Blendtec-- it worked fine as an ordinary blender, but could not handle anything more challenging than a smoothie, making the price absolutely outrageous. As for this jar, I tested it with homemade nut butters and fake ice cream made with frozen bananas. The Blendtec overheats very easily. Run it for a minute or so making, say, nut butter and it suddenly stops. The metal cog where the jar meets the base is very hot to the touch at that point. The twister lid works well enough. It doesn't have a tight seal, so should not be used for liquids that may bubble or splatter out. In practice, the Twister Jar works as intended... as long as you're processing about one cup of food at a time. More than that and the solids will stay on top, floating above the well-blended food, or the machine will struggle and overheat. Make a half gallon of fake ice cream from frozen bananas... one cup at a time? No thank you! Blendtec needs to make something like this Twister Jar, but that works better for large amounts.

Wonderful! The jar is a much better size for single servings than the wide side jar. I don't have to use the twister lid very often because the jar works well enough for me and the curved spatula is a nice added bonus for scraping down the sides. Also appreciate the fast shipping!

J’ai déjà le blendtec mais il me manquait ce plus petit contenant avec ses aillettes pour permettre de mélanger les textures plus compactes. J’en suis ravie. De l’avoir trouvé d’occasion me satisfait pleinement. Il n’y avait pas le carton d’emballage. Mais finalement c’est le produit qui importe et pas son emballage. Ça va dans le sens de ma démarche ZD et pour un coût moindre que le prix officiel. C’est tout bénéfice pour moi.

I've received used product with stains on the jar, blade and lid. What a con. Returning and getting refund.

risolve il problema degli ingredienti più solidi o pastosi che si appiccicano ai bordi del boccale. Con questo tutto molto più semplice, basta girare senza dover fermare la macchina ogni volta. Dimensioni perfette. Utile anche il coperchio “chiuso” senza spatole per frullare composti liquidi in quantità limitate. Un po’ costoso onestamente, ma rende decisamente più utile il frullatore.

Esta jarra es el complemento necesario de la la marca Blendtec.... Sea por moler semillas, puré o pequeñas porciones de frutas..... Excelente.
