NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W
Yes, use the NutriBullet Immersion Blender arm for hot food in an open cooking pot; no, do not blend carbonated or effervescing ingredients.
Use the blending arm for hot soups, purées or cooked vegetables in an open cooking pot; never blend carbonated liquids or effervescing ingredients.
How do I blend a hot mixture without splashing?
- Include liquid, leave at least 100mm of space above the mixture and keep below the vessel’s MAX line. With power disconnected, lock the arm to the motor body; lower it upright until fully submerged, keeping the motor body dry. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
- Hold Low-speed (I) to start; do not run near the surface. Release the button and wait for the motor to stop before lifting the arm out. Use only the arm or whisk in liquid/on the stovetop; keep the motor body away from liquid.
- Keep blending brief, generally under one minute, with at least five minutes to cool between uses. If the sealed chopper becomes warm, stop and let it cool fully; open it carefully facing away from your body.
What must I leave out?
- Do not blend fizzy drinks or ingredients that release gas, including baking soda, baking powder and yeast. Do not use the sealed chopping bowl or supplied plastic cup as a substitute for the open-pot hot-food method.
NutriBullet EveryGrain Cooker
The EveryGrain Cooker heats food itself, so treat the food, Cooking Pot, Steaming Basket and heating plate as hot. Cook only in the removable Cooking Pot or Steaming Basket, and never pour liquid into the Cooker Base.
Where do the food and liquid go?
- Cook only in the removable Cooking Pot or Steaming Basket. Do not pour liquid into the Cooker Base.
- Do not overload the pot with food and water. Keep the contents below the highest line on the inner pot markings.
How do I handle hot food and steam?
- Never touch the area near the steam vent while the cooker is cooking or warming.
- After cooking, the food, Cooking Pot, Steaming Basket and heating plate are hot. Use the handles and wear oven mitts, and take extreme care when moving the cooker with hot food or liquid inside.
When can I clean or move it?
- Turn the power off, unplug the cooker and let it cool completely before cleaning, moving or storing it. Do not touch or clean the heating plate until it has fully cooled.
NutriBullet Food Processor
Take care with hot liquid in the NutriBullet Food Processor: it can be ejected out of the appliance by sudden steaming.
How do I add hot liquid safely?
- Pour hot liquid in carefully; sudden steaming can force it out of the appliance.
- Stay at or below the LIQUID MAX line. Overfilling can damage the bowl or cover and make the ingredients leak.
How do I keep the bowl closed while it runs?
- Make sure the bowl is securely locked in place, with the lid on and locked, before turning the motor on. Do not try to remove the bowl or lid while the unit is running.
- Turn the motor off and make sure all moving parts have stopped before removing the lid or taking the appliance apart.
NutriBullet Chill
No, do not use hot or fizzy ingredients with the NutriBullet Chill; churn a fully frozen prepared dessert recipe, never frozen soda or plain frozen drinks.
How do I prepare a cooked recipe?
- If dissolving sugar by heating it in milk or cream, let that mixture cool completely before freezing. Alternatively, dissolve sugar with a bowl and whisk, or use simple syrup/agave.
- Keep the recipe between MIN FILL and MAX FILL, fit the Storage Lid and freeze level for at least 24 hours. Process within five minutes after taking it from the freezer; never microwave the frozen Pint Cup.
- Do not churn thawed/liquid recipes, ice cubes, a solid block of ice, frozen lemonade, juice or soda. Do not blend warm, hot or carbonated ingredients in the Pint Cup using a compatible blender, and limit that separate blending step to 30 seconds.
NutriBullet Limitless Food Processor
No, do not process hot ingredients in the NutriBullet Limitless Food Processor. Hot liquid poured into the bowl can be ejected out of the appliance by sudden steaming.
What about hot liquids?
- Do not process hot ingredients. Be careful with any hot liquid poured into the Work Bowl, as sudden steaming can force it out.
- Stay at or below the LIQUID MAX line. Overfilling can damage the Work Bowl or cover and make the ingredients leak.
How do I keep it safe while processing?
- Make sure the Work Bowl is securely locked in place with the lid on before plugging in and turning it on. Never remove the Work Bowl or open the lid while it is running or the blades are still moving.
- Power off and wait until the blades or discs have completely stopped before removing any attachment, taking it apart or cleaning.
NutriBullet Baby
Yes for hot liquids in the NutriBullet Baby vented Batchbowl with its lid and vented cap locked, but no for hot liquids in the sealed Short Cup or for fizzy ingredients in either vessel.
Hot liquids may be blended only in the vented Batchbowl with its lid and vented cap locked; the sealed Short Cup needs cold or room-temperature ingredients, and fizzy or effervescing ingredients must not be blended.
Which vessel should I use?
- For the Batchbowl, fit the Extractor Blade securely, add food/liquid only to the 475mL MAX blending line, and lock both lid and vented cap before starting. Use care with hot or warm contents; do not remove the lid while the motor runs.
- For the Short Cup, cool cooked food completely before loading. Keep at or below the 180mL MAX blending line, attach the blade tightly and limit continuous blending to one minute. If the cup becomes warm, let it cool before opening carefully away from your body.
- Leave out carbonated liquids, baking soda, baking powder, yeast and cake batter. Do not microwave any Baby components or use boiling water/steam to sterilise them.
NutriBullet Baby Steam + Blend
Yes, the Blend setting on the NutriBullet Baby Steam + Blend blends hot, steamed ingredients or other soft or cooked foods. Handle it with care: it makes very hot steam.
How do I avoid burns from steam and hot parts?
- The appliance makes very hot steam when cooking. Do not touch hot surfaces; use the handles or knobs. Do not move the unit while it is operating; let it cool first.
- Do not add water while the unit is on or hot; this can cause serious burns or scalds.
- Do not block the steam vents with food, as this can build up pressure. Do not fill ingredients above the vents of the pour spout.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated food to a heated bowl, to prevent cracking or damage.
What should I do after blending?
- Unplug the appliance and let the Work Bowl cool for 10 minutes, and make sure the Blending Blade and motor have completely stopped before taking it apart.
- Lift the Blending Blade out with a mitt. It is extremely hot and sharp.
- Allow the food to cool, and always check its temperature before feeding.
