hey you guys welcome to the blending
with Henry show
my name is Henry the summer is here and
I know you're as anxious as I am to get
out and do some fun and exciting things now
speaking of exciting I have a milestone
product to share with you today we're
gonna be revealing the all-new Vitamix
48 ounce stainless steel container it's
been a highly requested accessory and
Vitamix came through so let's get
started so you guys and my opinion
Vitamix continues to create their
products for the chef at heart offering
the most versatile accessories now the
48 ounce stainless steel container
Sells for 199.95 USD which is about
$50 more than their Tritan plastic
containers and comes with a three-year
warranty now the entire body is
stainless steel and it really has an
industrial look and feel now you can
read off with me here it's durable
non-reactive
easy to clean odor and stain resistant
BPA free and dishwasher safe
while I don't follow everyone else's
lead by doing a stale unboxing okay I do
want you to see the picture box that
Vitamix accessories tend to come in
showing you the features and different
recipe ideas to help you get started now
before we get started I wanted to
clarify with you guys that the 48 ounce
stainless steel container is a wet blade
container designed for making your
smoothies nut butters dip spreads soups
and purees now on the left is the dry
blade with two semi-pointed blades and
two square blades designed for milling
spices dry chopping making flours and
powdered sugar now on the right is the
wet blade with all four blades pointed
at the tips and this is what the
stainless steel container contains in
the box along with the container you get
the see-through lid the new s2 low
profile tamper a welcome pamphlet a
getting started booklet an owner's
manual explaining your warranty now the
tamper holder shown is sold separately
I wish I had a nickel in my hand for
every time someone asked me Henry
when will Vitamix make a glass or
stainless steel container now
there's some pros and cons which I will
explain in a bit but this is not the
first time vitamix had a stainless
steel container very early models had
stainless steel containers now there is
a place for them but they may not be
ideal for every blending need so let me
tell you a little bit about this I
really like this design being brushed
metal so it's not a mirror finish like
some other stainless steel appliances
that can be distracting now it reminds
me of those old fashioned milkshake
machines with the stainless steel mixing
cup remember those you guys right and
it's very eye-catching the handle grip
is very ergonomic and it should be an
easy hold for most sized hands to 
be honest you guys I love this handle
design much better than the Triton plastic
containers hand grip which by the way is
very good upon buying this at first
glance you will notice a gray hard shell
plastic piece underneath the hand grip
now this is designed to shield your hand
from touching the metal so you don't get
burned from hot liquids
I always love to give Vitamix a shout
out for their build quality using a
metal retainer nut and metal gears even
in 2020 you guys is still not common in
popular blenders especially with ninja
inside the container everything is fully
stainless steel of course including the
bolt that connects the stainless steel
blades to the gears underneath now what
I was blown away with you guys it's the
printed measurement markings inside the
walls of the container what a nice
surprise right now just to be clear
vitamix’s clear containers do have
measurement markings but those bad boys
are difficult to see in any light it has
the same large size pour spout as is on
the 48 ounce clear container and
something else that it shares with the
clear container is a clear lid obviously
this is not going to be stainless steel
because there needs to be a way to view
your blending process now this is one of
the cons of the stainless steel
container only from top view can you
monitor your blending process as opposed
to a clear container where you can see
everything from all sides
the 48 ounce stainless steel container
fits all full-sized Vitamix machines now
I'm a 49ers fan but if you guys are
Raiders fans you may like all this
black and silver okay now it fits the
Vitamix Ascent
it also is compatible with the Explorian
now it works perfectly with the classic
series Vitamix and my all-time favorite
professional series 750
now if you guys are like me much of my
kitchen has stainless steel appliances
including my Vitamix stainless steel
to-go cup unfortunately it's no longer
available okay now my French press
coffee brewer is stainless steel inside
and out and my all-clad cookware now
I've used my all-clad cookware and many
of my Vitamix videos to prepare
ingredients for blending
okay you guys I'm gonna show you my
blueberry protein shake that I make for
recovery from my home workouts I also
use peaches to make this shake but
blueberry stains easily so I want to
show you the results from using a
stainless steel container so the first
ingredient I want to add some almond
milk next are rolled oats fresh banana
frozen blueberries pitted dates ground
cinnamon fresh ground nutmeg pure maple
syrup and my favorite blenditup protein
powder called clean lean so I'm going to
add one scoop of this okay I'm gonna add
some ice snapping my lid in place and
now I'm gonna go ahead and ramp up to
the highest speed
ok we're all done you guys and you can
see the frosty look around the bottom
half of the container the ice and frozen
blueberries can cause stainless steel to
get very cold and sweat so that's
something to keep in mind
so now we're going to clean the
container now you guys may not see it
too well but the blueberry color is
drenched around the walls inside the
container so let's see how easy it is to
clean now I'm pouring water from the 48
ounce clear container and I've
recommended you guys before to fill it
up about a quarter of the way for best
cleaning results now I'm going to add a
couple of drops of dish soap snap my
lid in place and blend on high
all right I've poured the soapy water
out and you can see how clean and free
it is of any blueberry color without any
additional scrubbing that's a big
benefit of stainless now I'm going to
make a quick soup so I have my tea maker
filled with boiling water and I'm just
gonna pour it right in now this soup is
easy
it's made with garbanzo beans fresh dill
and the vegan blenditup Southwest
spice blend now right away you guys you
can see the container is steamed up from
the boiling water so it does get very
hot but it's beneficial for heat
retention
now this is something I threw together
no recipe in particular that's what I
love about my Vitamix you guys I can
make easy delicious meals without being
so perfect
you know with the stainless steel
container which I've recognized keeps
the soup hot for longer periods over the
clear container and now I'm drizzling
some olive oil I'm going to add some
fresh dill for garnish
and of course I'm including a spoon and
there you go now for a quick hot soup
that you need to keep hot for longer
it's best to use the stainless steel
container now the elephant in the room
now if any of you frequently enjoy using
turmeric in your recipes you're familiar
with how easily it stains plastics
rubber or any other porous materials now
let's see how the stainless steel
container holds up with turmeric okay so
I'm going to pour this turmeric into
very hot boiling water so it dissolves
easily now I'm blending on low speed to
avoid splashing hey but don't try this
at home
now with boiling water it helps to infuse
the turmeric to create a very saturated
liquid which can easily stain many
materials
okay you guys I'm pouring the rinse
water out and notice that I didn't use any
dish soap now it's completely clean and
free of the turmeric now my sink mat on
the other hand, okay I've got some
scrubbing to do for that one okay
now let's compare the weight between both
for 48oz containers starting
with the clear container now it's about
two pounds 1.5 ounces and that gets much
heavier you guys once you add your
ingredients especially when you're
making soups now let's check the
stainless steel container now it's 2
pounds 14 ounces which is almost another
pound heavier now it gets even heavier
with ice and if you have dexterity
issues it might not be the most ideal
container for you so you guys should you
invest in the 48 ounce stainless steel
container well in my opinion it has a
place and there's definitely benefits
with it but is it a replacement for the
48 ounce clear container I would say no
there are instances where the clear
container has the advantage of being
able to easily view the blending progress
of your ingredients especially when
making nut butters where it's important
to monitor the churning of the butter
from the bottom to the top now on the
flip side the stainless steel container
is paramount when it comes to
ingredients that leave hard to remove
stains like turmeric and berries and
it's also beneficial for heat retention
and keeping ingredients cold longer
Now it’s also non-reactive especially with
acidic ingredients with that being said
if you can invest in both you won't be
sorry as each has its own set of
benefits
all right you guys thanks for hanging
out as always and I hope you're staying
safe and you can order the Vitamix
