Blendtec Jars Side-by-Side-by-Side
A good portion of Blendtec magic comes from the jars. Blendtec jars feature a patented, single, wingtip blade, one of the features that allow Blendtec's jars to effectively harness a Blendtec motor's enormous power. But performance comes from more than just the blade. Let's look at the three jars that are currently available for Blendtec blenders.
WildSide Jar*
We've discussed the strengths of the WildSide jar before—and even shown how others have copied the design when they couldn't duplicate the WildSide's performance. The WildSide jar has a wide base and a narrow fifth, or “wild,” side that changes the angle of the blending vortex; as a result, frozen ingredients are far less likely to form a cave above the blade. These features makes the WildSide jar great for large, cold recipes as well as more specialized blends, like bread dough. And, of course, making smoothies in the WildSide jar is never a bad choice.
FourSide Jar
When it came out, the FourSide jar revolutionized the world of commercial blending. Its square shape is much better at blending than traditional round jars. The jar also generates more friction, heating soups a little faster than does the WildSide jar. It's also especially good for dry grinding and making smaller smoothies.
Twister Jar
You might have seen our previous blog post about Blendtec's latest jar offering: the Twister jar. This jar is truly unique. Its patented scraper tines are incredibly effective—as well as super fun to use! The Twister jar is perfect for the thickest recipes. If you think something's too thick to blend in the Twister jar—you're probably wrong.
Of course, what you blend in your Blendtec jars is limited only by your imagination (and the warranty—so don't go blending rocks!). Have you discovered anything that makes a particularly awesome blend in your Blendtec? Let us know on Facebook or in the comments section below!
We just purchased blendtec and used the wildside jar to make smoothies. I was wondering if the twister jar could be used to make smaller smoothies. It is round inside instead of square like the other jars. Will this work for smoothies or is it just for nut butters?
Hello,
We do not have a new jar the is specifically for dry spices, almonds, coffee beans, etc. You can find all of our available jars at www.blendtec.com/jars.
Good day,
I believe Blendtec has some new jar for dry spices, almonds, coffee beans etc. Please send me a link to buy it.
Thanks
The article makes it sound like the Fourside Jar is better at Dry Grinding than the Wildside Jar. Is this true?
I just purchased a BlendTec and have the WildSide Jar. I see that a lot of the recipes on the BlendTec website call for specific jars to be used for certain recipes (e.g. the twister jar for banana softserve). Will it harm my blender if I just use the jar that I have?
