Can I Put Hot Liquids in My Ninja Blender?

You’re excited to make soup or a hot smoothie in your Ninja blender. But wait! Can it handle hot liquids? The short answer is: be careful! While Ninja blenders are generally tough, hot liquids can be tricky.

Why Hot Liquids Can Be Dangerous

Hot liquids create steam. In a sealed blender, the steam builds pressure. This pressure can push the lid off, causing a hot mess and potentially burns.

How to Blend Hot Liquids Safely

You *can* blend hot liquids, but you need to take precautions:

• Fill it halfway: Don’t fill your blender more than half full with hot liquids. This leaves room for steam.
• Vent the lid: Remove the center cap from the lid or slightly tilt the lid to let steam escape. Never completely seal the lid when blending hot ingredients.
• Start slow: Begin blending at the lowest speed and gradually increase it. This prevents sudden pressure buildup.
• Use a towel: Cover the lid with a folded towel while blending. This provides extra protection against splatters.
• Let it cool slightly: If your ingredients are boiling hot, let them cool for a few minutes before blending.

What Ninja Says

Ninja themselves advise caution with hot liquids. Their manuals often recommend filling the blender only halfway and venting the lid. They also suggest letting very hot liquids cool slightly before blending.

What About Cold Liquids?

You can fill your Ninja blender almost to the top with cold liquids. No need to worry about steam buildup.
