Can I use hot or fizzy ingredients in my full-size blender?

  • Updated

Yes for hot ingredients in an approved vented pitcher, and no for hot or fizzy ingredients in a sealed cup; fizzy-ingredient permission in a pitcher depends on the exact model.

Applies to
  • NutriBullet Triple Prep System
  • NutriBullet Blender Combo 1200
  • NutriBullet SmartSense Blender / NutriBullet SmartSense Blender Combo
  • NutriBullet Smart Touch Blender Combo
  • NutriBullet Power Core Blender
  • NutriBullet Blender Combo 1000

  • NutriBullet Power Core Plus
  • Magic Bullet Blender Combo

NutriBullet Triple Prep System

Yes, the NutriBullet Triple Prep System permits hot, warm or carbonated ingredients in its pitcher with the vented lid fitted; none of these belong in its sealed cups.

How do I use the permitted container safely?
  1. Fill and close the pitcher.
    1. Keep food and liquid below their respective MAX lines; use the lower liquid line and higher solid line where both are marked.
    2. Fit the pitcher lid and insert and lock the vented lid cap before powering on; keep the lid in place to contain splashes while the cap vents steam.
    3. Check that the vent slots are clear and that the lid and spout are fully closed before blending.
  2. Start a hot blend.
    1. Start on LOW and increase speed only after the ingredients are integrated and the mixture is level and no longer splashing.
  3. Open the pitcher afterwards.
    1. Stop the blender and wait for the blade to stop before removing the pitcher; open the lid cautiously because steam and hot splashes can escape.
  4. Prevent pressure in a cup.
    1. Keep the combined food and liquid below the cup’s MAX line so the contents have room to circulate without leakage or dangerous pressure.
    2. Stop after no more than one minute of continuous blending; blade friction heats the contents and raises pressure even when the ingredients started cold.
    3. Do not run consecutive one-minute cup blends; let the contents settle for at least 10–15 minutes, and carefully open a cool cup away from your body to release pressure before another cycle.
Which container can hold hot or fizzy ingredients?
  • Use only the blending pitcher with its vented lid for hot, warm or carbonated ingredients, taking extra care with steam and splashes.
Can I add more food while blending?
  • After the base ingredients are mixed, slowly open the vented lid cap, add ingredients gently without passing MAX, then refit the cap; keep your hands away from escaping steam and splashes.
What must stay out of the cups?
  • Use room-temperature or refrigerated ingredients and liquids at 21°C or cooler; let cooked ingredients cool before putting them in the cup.
  • Exclude soda, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, effervescent batters or cake mixes, and dry ice; check supplement and protein-powder ingredients for anything effervescent before adding them.
What if a sealed cup becomes hot or warm?
  1. Stop blending and unplug the blender; leave the hot or warm cup where it is and keep other people from touching it. Do not remove the cup from the base or use heat, force or tools to pry it open.
  2. Wait at least 30 minutes, then check the cup; wait longer if it is still warm, and only remove it from the base once it is completely cool.
  3. Point the cooled cup away from your face and body and use a towel to slowly unscrew the blade, releasing residual pressure gently.
How should I store a cup blend?
  1. Remove the Extractor Blade and use the To-Go Lid or transfer food to a vented container; do not leave the blade attached to food that can ferment.
How can I warm a cold cup blend?
  1. Transfer the blended mixture to a stovetop pot to heat it.
What if the cooled cup still will not open?
  1. Do not force, pry or heat the cup to separate it; dispose of the cup and contents securely rather than leaving them sealed for a prolonged period.
Can I heat or freeze the blender parts?
  • Do not use NutriBullet Triple Prep System parts or accessories as freezer storage containers.
  • Never microwave the cups, To-Go Lids or other NutriBullet Triple Prep System parts or accessories.
  • Do not place any parts or accessories in a conventional oven, air fryer or stovetop pot, or immerse them in boiling water to clean or sanitise them.
