Blender Bottle

The simple-but-brilliant Blender Bottle proves that no tech can be better than high tech (Colors vary depending on availability).

• High grade and durable
• Dishwasher friendly
• Won't leak or spew
• No more clumps

When we first saw the Blender Bottle at the International Home and Housewares Show—the largest annual trade show for manufacturers and retailers of housewares and other products for the home—we couldn’t believe it. It’s so simple—a plastic cup and a stainless steel ball—that we couldn’t imagine how it would mix things as well as our hand-held mixer and our blender.

But it does! The ball works like a combination whisk and ball bearing to mix the toughest ingredients quickly and thoroughly. It does so better than handheld mixers and frothers. The convenient size and pour spout make it so much easier and neater than using a mixing bowl. And it rinses clean in an instant. Is there any wonder that this savvy gadget earned our award for Best of Show?

It’s not low tech, it’s no tech. You pour the ingredients you wish to blend into the cup, instead of into a mixing bowl. Screw the top on, give it two shakes of the wrist, and your blended and ready to go. Nothing’s unblended, there is no residual powder in the bottom. Taking up minimal space and needing no electricity, it’s also great for boats, camping, the office...and for people who frequently mix powdered drinks for diet and/or nutrition.

Here’s why Blender Bottle is the best thing to happen to us since the microwave:

• We’ve never been able to mix powdered beverages or soups without undissolved residue of coagulated powder remaining at the bottom of the cup or glass. The Blender Bottle™ mixed hot and cold beverages perfectly. You can drink beverages through the pour spout, and the bottle fits into most car drink holders.
• Mixing eggs is now a breeze. Like a whisk, the ball rolls through the ingredients, swiftly blending them together—but much faster. Scrambled eggs we would have whisked or churned an the egg beater for 20 or 30 strokes were blended in 4 shakes of the Blender Bottle.
• Pancake batter, which dripped gloppily from the pour spout of our mixing bowl, came out in a controlled flow from the spout of the Blender Bottle.
• Oil and vinegar blend thoroughly and more neatly than with other equipment.
• Gravy comes out smooth as silk.
• We had given our cocktail shaker away long ago as we never made old-fashioned cocktails...but years later, we love all the new-fashioned ones. We can shake up appletinis and cosmos with ease in the Blender Bottle.
• And if you really want it to multi-task, it works fine as a water bottle too.

Blender Bottle has a 28-ounce capacity, and embossed ounce and milliliter markings make it easy to measure ingredients. It’s dishwasher safe—but even eggs clean up easily with just a soap and water hand-rinse.

Our cooking and eating efficiencies have been wonderfully enhanced. It will be the best $5.99 you’ve spent in a while—and one of the least expensive and most appreciated hostess gifts you can appear with. It’s also the perfect gift for anyone you know who mixes protein drinks, sports drinks or diet shakes.

And let us not forget to mention that using the Blender Bottle is so much fun, you just may find volunteers to help shake it up.
