No, you cannot put hot soup in a Magic Bullet because it is not made to handle pure liquid ingredients. The Magic Bullet is a blender type kitchen machine with a tall, narrow cup for making smoothies, crushing ice, and performing other food preparation tasks.
It works well for blending foods such as frozen fruit, yogurt, nuts, and even ice cream. However, because it is not designed to work with pure liquid ingredients, such as hot soup, it is not recommended to use a Magic Bullet for soup.
Additionally, even if you were to attempt to use a Magic Bullet to blend hot soup, it could be dangerous due to the heat of the liquid. Therefore, it is not advisable to put hot soup in a Magic Bullet.
Can I put hot liquid in my NutriBullet?
No, you should not put hot liquids in your NutriBullet. Hot liquids can expand and put pressure on the blender components, which may lead to cracking or splitting of the parts. If you want to blend hot liquids, first cool them to room temperature and then add them to your NutriBullet.
Additionally, using hot liquids may reduce the effectiveness of blending and can also cause a build-up of steam, which can make cleaning the unit difficult. For these reasons, the manufacturers of the NutriBullet specifically state not to use liquids or foods that are greater than 120°F (48.9°C).
If you do accidentally put hot liquids in your NutriBullet, unplug it and wait for it to cool down before you attempt to clean the container or remove any components.
Can I blend hot food?
Yes, you can blend hot food. Most blenders are built to be able to handle hot ingredients. However, it is important to exercise caution when blending hot food and liquids as large amounts of steam can be released while blending.
To prevent any potential steam burns, open the blender lid slowly and keep a hand towel near the lid to prevent any sudden, unexpected heat or steam. Additionally, you should make sure to not fill the blender more than half way with hot ingredients and liquid, as the steam can expand and potentially create a mess while blending.
Whichever blender you use, be sure to refer to the owner’s manual for specific instructions regarding the use of hot food.
Can you blend hot soup in a food processor?
Yes, you can blend hot soup in a food processor. However, it is important to take caution when doing so. Hot liquids can cause the blade to come out of the base, or the container to shatter from the pressure if the ingredients are too hot.
Be sure to let the soup cool for a few minutes before blending. Additionally, fill the container no more than half full, with about two cups of liquid maximum. Adding solid ingredients to the mix, such as vegetables and meat, can also help reduce the risk of a violent reaction.
Once the contents of the food processor are ready, start blending at low speed and gradually increase the speed, as it is safer. Lastly, never leave the food processor unattended while it is running, as it can pose significant risks to your health and well-being.
How do you blend hot liquids?
When blending hot liquids, it is important to choose the right equipment and ingredients. You should start by using a blender or food processor that can accommodate hot ingredients without damaging the machine or breaking any parts.
If the blender or food processor has a maximum liquid capacity listed in its instructions, you should use that as a guide when filling it with hot ingredients. You should also check to see if your machine has a special setting for hot liquids.
If it does, you should select this setting before blending.
Once you have chosen and prepared the right equipment, you should fill it with the ingredients you will be blending into a hot liquid. Depending on the recipe, you may want to add some room temperature ingredients to help cool the mixture down and maintain a safe temperature.
If the recipe calls for liquefied fats or oils, you may need to melt them before adding them to the blender or food processor.
When blending the hot liquid, it is best to start on a low setting, gradually increasing the speed as the liquid warms up. Be sure to use a tamper or the appropriate attachment to help blend and mix the ingredients together.
Blending the hot liquid in short pulses with breaks in between will help ensure all the ingredients mix together and maintain a uniform texture without scorching the mixture.
When blending hot liquids, safety should be a top priority to protect yourself and your equipment. We recommend using an oven mitt, long tongs, or a folded kitchen towel when handling a hot container.
Always check the temperature of the finished product before serving to ensure it is safe and comfortable to consume.
Is it OK to put hot soup in Vitamix?
Yes, it is OK to put hot soup in a Vitamix. However, you should always take certain safety precautions to ensure that the soup won’t overheat and cause harm. Start by preheating the Vitamix container before adding the hot soup.
This will allow the Vitamix to better handle the added heat and prevent it from overworking itself. Make sure you only add small amounts of soup at a time, and blend the soup in short bursts. This will help minimize any extra heat added to the Vitamix and keep it working consistently.
Additionally, you should always wear oven mitts or cloth gloves to protect your hands when handling hot liquids. Finally, keep a thermometer handy to check the temperature of the soup after blending, as most Vitamix models have a maximum temperature limit.
If the temperature goes above that limit, let the soup cool down before continuing.
Can I put boiling soup in Vitamix?
Yes, you can put boiling soup in a Vitamix. The stainless steel blades can easily handle temperatures up to 200°F. It is actually an efficient way to make hot soup, as the blending process can heat soup up to steaming hot quickly.
When adding boiling liquid to a blender, consider removing the lid insert/center cap to ensure the pressure from the blending soup isn’t too much for the container. Be sure to blend on the lowest speed setting to start, increasing steadily if needed.
If mixing hot ingredients, use a towel over the lid to help contain any splatter or steam. Additionally, proceed with caution when removing the blender container from the base or pouring the soup to avoid burning yourself on steam.

The stationary disc usually has a small opening for adding the nuts, and the grinding disc contains sharp blades that will grind the nuts into a fine powder. A food processor can also work well for grinding nuts into a paste.
Simply add the nuts to the food processor cup, and pulse the blades until the desired texture is reached. Finally, a blender can also be used to grind nuts. You will want to add a bit of oil with the nuts and then run the blender on a low or medium speed until you reach the desired consistency.
The amount of time it takes to grind the nuts will vary depending on the size of the nuts and the power of your appliance.
