What I’d email a friend wanting to know about the Stainless Steel Container

By Blending For Good’s Co-Founder, Lenny Gale

If you want an upgrade from or a compliment to what you have, there are a few reasons to consider the Vitamix Stainless Steel Container.

Some folks want to reduce exposure to any plastic materials (even if they’re BPA-free) and this will certainly do that. This container is steel on steel.

Another reason to get this is because it won’t hold onto flavors. So if you’re making recipes with strong aromatics like garlic, your next blend will be flavor-free.

Finally, as a matter of pure enjoyment, the Stainless Steel Container is especially good at making frozen desserts. It’s like how malt shops use those tin cups — ice cream is best handled by cold hardware.

The downsides are that the container’s edges are squared off instead of rounded requiring you to handle the bottom and top delicately. And, if you’re blending hot ingredients, you’ll need to use a hot mitt because the container gets hot (unlike the standard Tritan containers which are naturally insulated.)

What can the Stainless Steel Container make? Like all full-size Vitamix models, the Stainless Steel Container can make smoothies, smoothie bowls, hot soups, frozen desserts like ice cream, nut butters, shakes, dips like queso, spreads like pesto, sauces, dressings, frappés, frozen cocktails, spice grinds, and non-dairy milks.

Who the Stainless Steel Container may be for…

Home chefs may appreciate having a dedicated container for aromatic-tainfused recipes that’s separate from your smoothie container.

Who It May Not Be For

• Stainless steel cookware owners who expect rounded edges.
• Households perfectly happy with the container that came with their Vitamix

vs. 48-ounce

• Same container size
• Same blade
• Lower visibility into container
• Lower aroma absorbtion

“Piece of mind”

★★★★★ Making my morning green smoothies in this container just feels right. The premium stainless steel gives me peace of mind about what’s going into my body.

“Flavor neutral”

★★★★★ I’m amazed at how neutral this container stays – no lingering curry smells or turmeric stains like my old ones. I can make a garlicky sauce and follow it with a fruit smoothie without any flavor transfer.

“Premium-priced but worth it”

★★★★ The craftsmanship is impressive. This container feels substantial and the blade assembly is rock-solid. Only not five starts because I wish the edges were rounded off. Worth every penny for the quality though – you can tell it’s built to handle years of daily use..
