Read First Before Buy Milkshake Blender Cocktail Stainless Commercial
I bought this because I was intrigued by the large size and the thought of not worrying about the smoothie or popsicle mix overflowing as it was being immersion blended. Mission accomplished! This is a fantastic blending cup and then drinking cup. And a 9-ounce can of nuts, the plastic lid (under which is the peel-away metal lid) fits perfectly on this stainless steel container. Also, being that it's a non-reactive material, it's better for blending tomatoes and ginger and other such items as opposed to using anything plastic.
Smoothie: 1 cup NF plain yogurt, a splash or two of Naked, 100% Juice smoothie "Mighty Mango," a ripe peach and/or blueberries and/or strawberries. All fresh. Haven't tried frozen yet.
Popsicles: see the great Mark Bittman's article [...] I like the creamy ones. Experiment with using less sugar, a teaspoon at a time. And don't cheap out on dollar store popsicle molds. Tovolo popsicle molds are great; find them here in amazon.
I see Amazon won't print a link. That's too bad. Just google Mark Bittman summer popsicles and it'll lead you to his summer ice pops article in NY Times Magazine.
I got this to go with the new handheld blender I bought, because this has a larger capacity than the measuring cup that came with the blender. I've used this once so far to make a milkshake (worked perfectly), and several times to make fluffy scrambled eggs with the blender. Clean up is very easy, as this cup is dishwasher safe. I will definitely get a lot of use out of this cup.
BalasHapusThis was far less costly than the originals and fits a Hamilton Beach restaurant grade milk shake mixer perfectly. It arrived promptly and without damage.
BalasHapusI have been using these cups exclusively for drinking all potable liquids for years and I can't recommend them enough. They clean quickly and reliably since they have a seamless, rounded interior, don't hold odors, are comfortable to use (except with real hot stuff like coffee where they get very hot) and last for years since they are almost bulletproof. They are not totally indestructible though-- 4 original cups and after years of ROUGH use, I lost one the other day, dropping it (for the 50th time) and when it hit the floor on the rim, it deformed enough that the rigid stainless rolled lip split, creating an opening to the interior of the roll which could hold dishwater so I retired it. It could still safely be used to drink from another part of the rim but no problem since they are quite inexpensive. I now use it as an appropriate size scoop for dishing out dogfood to my 2 standard Rat Terriers but I can think of a dozen uses for it in sthe shop or garage.
BalasHapusI swear by Amazon but these are sold by one of their business partners whose shipping policies drive the price of the item way up. I purchased mine at a kitchen supply store in a nearby outlet mall at approximately the same basic price listed above. Tax, of course, is added but doesn't come close to current shipping prices.
I store my new white Cuisinart CSB-76BC SmartStick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender in this cup right next to the stove. Perfect fit because it is substantial in weight. I use the plastic cup that came with blender as a measuring cup. Cuisinart should have used this cup along with the blender because it holds the blender and balances the weight of it very well. This is a perfect size and weight for many things and I'm sure to be using it soon. Right now I'm happy with it just the way it is. I'll be looking for this cup with a handle on it for easier hold.

These are perfect for mixing drinks. I own a coffee shop and I use them to "toss" iced coffees mixing the flavors into the drinks, also great for mixing milkshakes. They are sturdy, easy to clean and large enough to handle a 16 or 20 oz. drink.
BalasHapusI NEEDED A CUP THAT WAS TALL ENOUGH SO THAT WHEN I MIX PROTEIN DRINKS WITH THE WAND BLENDER, THE LIQUID DOESN'T SPRAY ALL OVER THE COUNTER. THIS IS PLENTY TALL ENOUGH AND VERY STURDY STAINLESS STEEL. IT LOOKS AND FEELS SUBSTANTIAL, REMINISCENT OF THE OLD MILKSHAKE BLENDER CUPS AT THE SODA FOUNTAIN. I'M VERY HAPPY WITH IT.
