No, portable blender cups must not contain hot, carbonated or effervescing ingredients; use cold or room-temperature, non-fizzy ingredients.
Warm ingredients can also create pressure inside a portable blender cup; allow them to cool before blending.
NutriBullet Portable Blender / Portable Blender McLaren
No, do not blend hot, fizzy or effervescing ingredients in the NutriBullet Portable Blender / Portable Blender McLaren; use cold or room-temperature ingredients that do not release gas.
What can I put in the cup?
- Use room-temperature, refrigerated or frozen ingredients at 21°C or cooler; check all ingredients and supplement labels before blending.
- Avoid soda, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, some batters, cake mix, dry ice and anything else that releases gas.
How do I prevent pressure building during use?
- Keep food and liquid below MAX and lock the lid; never remove the cup or lid while the blades turn.
- Do not blend continuously or run consecutive cycles for more than one minute total; before a repeat cycle, carefully open the cooled container to release pressure.
- Do not leave blended food sealed for a prolonged period: it can ferment and release gas. Access the drink through the lid after blending.
What if the cup has become warm or pressurised?
- Leave the cup where it is and keep others away; do not touch it, open it, separate it from the Motor Base or blend again.
- Let it cool for at least 30 minutes, and longer if it still feels warm. Once cool, slowly open the Sip and Carry Lid with the opening pointing away from your face and body, then pour into a separate vessel.
Heated ingredients can cause pressure to build up in the sealed cup, which may expel hot contents when you open it and could cause personal injury or property damage.
NutriBullet Flip Stainless
No, do not blend hot, fizzy or effervescing ingredients in the NutriBullet Flip Stainless; use cold or room-temperature ingredients that do not release gas.
Which ingredients should I leave out?
- Use ingredients at 21°C or cooler; check supplement labels for effervescent ingredients before adding them. NEVER submerge the entire Motor Base, Blade, and Lid in water.
- Keep soda, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, some batters, cake mix, dry ice and other gas-releasing ingredients out of the cup.
How should I release the drink after blending?
- Wait until the blades stop and power is off before opening the Flip-Top Lid; point the spout away from your face and body and open slowly, watching for spraying contents.
- Do not leave blends in the sealed cup for a prolonged time; fermentation can build pressure.
- Do not blend for longer than one minute total, including consecutive cycles.
- Keep the cup below MAX and the Flip-Top Lid snapped shut during blending; do not insert fingers, a straw or other objects into the sip hole while the motor runs.
- Do not place the complete blender in a refrigerator or freezer, or expose it to extreme temperatures.
When you open the Flip-Top Lid, take care: escaping steam, gases or food may splatter or spray out.
Hot or warm ingredients can build pressure in the cup. This may force the Flip-Top Lid open, or make the Motor Base, Blade and Lid separate from the cup, which could expel hot ingredients, expose the blade and cause injury or property damage.
Blending fizzy (carbonated or effervescent) ingredients may pressurise the cup, which could force the Flip-Top Lid open, or make the Motor Base, Blade and Lid separate from the cup, exposing the blade and risking injury or property damage.
NutriBullet Flex Portable / Flex Portable McLaren
No, do not blend hot, fizzy or effervescing ingredients in the NutriBullet Flex Portable / Flex Portable McLaren; use cold or room-temperature ingredients that do not release gas.
Which ingredients and quantities should I use?
- Use food and liquid at 21°C or cooler; check every supplement for ingredients that fizz.
- Exclude soda, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, some batters, cake mix and dry ice.
- Leave the mixture below MAX, use sufficient liquid and lock the Sip Lid with Carry Loop before operating.
How can I avoid heat and gas build-up?
- Follow the Important safeguards limit of one minute total for continuous or consecutive blending. Before another cycle, carefully open the cooled container to release pressure.
- Do not leave a blend sealed for a prolonged time; fermentation releases gas. Wait for the blades to stop before opening the Sip Lid with Carry Loop.
What should I do with a hot or warm cup?
- Leave the cup alone, keep others from touching it and do not open it, detach it from the Motor Base or run another blend.
- Wait at least 30 minutes and longer if still warm; once cool, open the Sip Lid with Carry Loop slowly, pointing it away from your face and body, and pour into another vessel.
NutriBullet GO
No, do not blend hot, fizzy or effervescing ingredients in the NutriBullet GO; use cold or room-temperature ingredients that do not release gas.
What should I blend?
- Use cool or room-temperature food and liquid; never put hot liquid or carbonated drinks in the blending vessel.
- Do not use ice, frozen fruit or frozen vegetables in NutriBullet GO.
What if the cup feels warm?
- Allow the vessel to cool before detaching the blade; after it cools, slowly and carefully untwist the base/blade assembly with the opening pointed away from your body.
- Do not run for more than two consecutive 30-second cycles or continuously for more than one minute.
- Do not leave a blend sealed without releasing internal pressure; fruit and vegetable sugars can ferment and produce gas.
- Wait for all blades to stop before removing the cup, and keep ingredients below the MAX Fill Line.
Carbonated drinks release gas that builds pressure and can make the cup burst, which could cause injury.
Heated ingredients can create pressure inside the sealed cup, which may erupt when you open it and cause a thermal (heat) injury.
