NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W
No, the NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W blending cup and chopping bowl must not go in the microwave. The full steps for this model are in its user guide.
Can I freeze food in the blending cup or chopping bowl?
The NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W frozen-dessert recipe transfers the mixture from the blending cup to a separate container before freezing.
Can I microwave the cup or chopping bowl?
- Keep every NutriBullet Immersion Blender 800W part, including the blending cup and chopping bowl, out of the microwave and oven. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
NutriBullet Chill
Yes, freeze the NutriBullet Chill Pint Cup level with its Storage Lid fitted at −20°C to −15°C for at least 24 hours, but never microwave a frozen Pint Cup.
How do I freeze a recipe in the Pint Cup?
- Set the freezer between −20°C and −15°C for the best churning results.
- Fill the Pint Cup with a prepared recipe between MIN FILL and MAX FILL. Too little mixture can cause an error; too much can leak or prevent the Blade Block from fitting.
- Dissolve sugar fully in the liquid ingredients with a bowl and whisk before freezing. If you heat the milk or cream to dissolve sugar, let the mixture cool completely first; simple syrup or agave can be used instead.
- For smoothie-based recipes, include dairy or non-dairy milk or yoghurt to help prevent settling.
- Snap on the Storage Lid and place the Pint Cup level in the freezer for at least 24 hours; do not freeze it tilted.
- Do not freeze plain water, lemonade, juice or soda into a block for processing. Do not add loose ice, hard ingredients, loose frozen fruit, nuts or sweets before churning; add toppings after processing.
- If the frozen mixture rises above MAX FILL, check that the Blade Block can still fit fully. Remove excess with a spoon if it prevents the Blade Block from being installed.
Can I microwave or thaw the frozen Pint Cup?
- Never microwave a frozen Pint Cup.
- Remove the Storage Lid and process the frozen recipe within five minutes of taking the Pint Cup out of the freezer. Use frozen recipes only: thawed or liquid ingredients can damage the machine or cause injury.
- Before use, inspect the Pint Cup for cracks and the Blade Block for damage. Stop using a damaged detachable part and replace it.
How do I refreeze leftovers?
- Use a spoon to compact leftovers into the bottom of the Pint Cup; the food must remain above MIN FILL for another churning cycle.
- Wipe the inside rim thoroughly with a towel so frozen residue will not prevent the Blade Block from fitting.
- Refit the Storage Lid, freeze for another 24 hours, then re-churn using the same program.
NutriBullet Limitless Food Processor
No, the NutriBullet Limitless Food Processor Work Bowl, lid and other parts must not go in the microwave. The full steps for this model are in its user guide.
Can I freeze food in the Work Bowl?
Can I put the Work Bowl in a microwave?
- Do not microwave the NutriBullet Limitless Food Processor Work Bowl, lid, or any other part or accessory.
NutriBullet Baby
Yes, freeze purées in the NutriBullet Baby Easy-Pop Freezer Tray with its lid for up to three months, but keep Date-Dial Storage Cups out of the freezer and never microwave any component.
Which containers can go in the microwave or freezer?
- Do not microwave any NutriBullet Baby component, including cups, lids, blades or the motor base, and never microwave a sealed cup.
- Keep Date-Dial Storage Cups out of the freezer. Use the Easy-Pop Freezer Tray with its lid for freezing purées.
- Fill Date-Dial Storage Cups no more than two-thirds full, set the dial to the preparation date, refrigerate and use the food within two days.
- Empty the Batchbowl after blending; do not use the Batchbowl to store food.
How do I freeze and thaw purées?
- Let cooked ingredients cool completely before blending with breast milk, formula or water to the required consistency.
- Spoon purée into the Easy-Pop Freezer Tray, filling each section no more than two-thirds full. Snap every side of the lid shut to prevent leakage and freezer burn.
- Store the filled Easy-Pop Freezer Tray in the freezer for up to three months.
- Move the frozen servings you need into the refrigerator to thaw.
- If you need only part of a refrigerated portion, take it out with a clean utensil, reseal the storage cup and refrigerate the rest. Do not save food that has touched a used spoon or utensil.
NutriBullet Baby Steam + Blend
No, NutriBullet Baby Steam + Blend parts must not go in the microwave. The full steps for this model are in its user guide.
Can I freeze food in the Work Bowl?
The NutriBullet Baby Steam + Blend guide uses a frozen serving placed into the Work Bowl for defrosting.
Can I microwave the Work Bowl?
- Keep all NutriBullet Baby Steam + Blend parts out of the microwave, heated oven and stovetop pot, and do not immerse them in boiling water.
- Use the Steam setting to defrost a frozen baby-food serving; microwave heating can leave dangerously hot spots in baby food.
How do I defrost a frozen serving with steam?
- With the appliance off and cool, remove the Water Reservoir Cap, fill with cold water to the 10-minute line, then refit the cap tightly. Never add water while the appliance is on or hot.
- Place a frozen baby-food serving in the Work Bowl. Keep steam vents clear, twist the Work Bowl Lid clockwise to lock, and turn the Work Bowl counter-clockwise onto the Motor Base to lock it.
- Turn the Setting Dial to Steam and press the Power button. Repeat the defrost cycle if needed.
- When finished, unplug and allow at least 10 minutes for cooling; wait until the blade and motor have stopped before disassembly. Check the food temperature before feeding your baby.
