Vitamix Eastman Tritan Dry Blade Blender Jar w/ Lid and Whole Grains Book (Model # 15845)
For use with the Vitamix 4500 Blender, Vita-Mix 5000 Blender, and the Vita Mix Super 5000 Blender, Vitamix 5200 Series Blenders, and Vitamix CIA Professional Blenders. Can also work with most of Vitamix's Commercial Blender models, but is intended for the home blenders, and carries a home warranty. This Vita Mix Blender jar is for grinding grain and kneading bread dough. The jar included with most Vita Mix Blenders at purchase is the Vita-mix Wet Container, meant for drinks, and other "wet" jobs. The Vita Mix Dry Blade 32 oz container does a better job at grains and dough than the Vita-Mix Wet Container, though is not necessary for these applications. Lid included, and whole grains book. |

Customer Questions About This Item:
Q: Is the dry blade included with this Vita Mix Dry Blade Container?
A: Yes, the Model 15845 Vita Mix Dry Blade Container is a complete unit with lid and blade.
|
Q: I bought small jar with dry blade with intent to use for everyday smoothies (for two) and dry nuts sometimes. Is it ok to use dry blade for
wet things also?
A: This 32 oz. Dry Grains container is perfect for processing dry grains into fresh flours. Vitamix engineers designed its blades to perform this process impeccably. However, Vitamix does state that this jar would not be ideal for best results when blending wet ingredients such as making smoothies. When making smoothies it is always best to use a wet blade container.
|
Q: The description states that the unit can work on "most of Vitamix's Commercial Blender models"; which models? Specifically, Does this work on the Vita-Prep 3 model 1005?
A: This dry blade container is intended to be used with the Vitamix 4500 Blender, the Vita-Mix 5000 Blender Series, the Vitamix 5200 Series Blender Series, and Vitamix CIA Professional Blenders. It will also work with most of Vitamix's Commercial Blender models, including the Vita Prep 3, but is intended for the home blenders, and carries a home warranty.
|
Q: Do I have to have the dry blade to grind nuts? I am on a budget and can only afford the 4500, but need it to grind nuts.
A: The dry blade container is not required to grind nuts. However, the dry blade container will give you a more consistent grind.
|
Q: Is the Vita Mix Dry Blade Container also good for grinding Coffee Beans....Espresso Grind? If not which one is?
A: The Vita Mix Dry Blade Container can be used to grind coffee beans. However, your grind will not be very consistent and it may be too fine for espresso grind. Any Vita Mix jar will grind coffee beans but the results are going to be inconsistent.
|
Q: When using the dry blade assembly is the grind the same as the wet blade assembly for dry grain and the major difference in applicability for kneading or is it different in all respects?
A: The Vita Mix Dry Blade Container has a blade with a different design than the wet blade container. The blade is designed to give you a better and more consistent grind when grinding dry ingredients. Vita-Mix states that you may use either container, dry or wet, for kneading the bread dough.

 A Must-Have For Full Utility of Your VitaMix -
The VitaMix is an extraordinary kitchen tool. People often mistake it for a powerful blender or a replacement for a food processor, but it really is a separate kitchen tool. The Vitamix is costly, and you will likely use the liquid container far more than the dry container unless you make artisan breads or have very special dietary needs, but if you've already invested in a VitaMix you might as well get the dry container to get the full utility your VitaMix blender has to offer. I use my dry container to grind almonds and shredded unsweetened coconut into flour for my low carb diet at a huge cost savings over buying the flours pre-made. It is the only tool I am aware of for the home kitchen that can truly grind ingredients into flour. The secret to successfully using the Vitamix dry blade container is to only grind about a cup of the ingredient at a time and stop as soon as you reach the desired consistency. Everything Kitchens had the best price at the time I bought the dry container and delivered the item promptly. I also recommend purchasing the cover that Everything Kitchens sells for Kitchen Aid stand mixers. It fits the VitaMix nicely with either the liquid or dry container in place and makes your kitchen Countertop look nice and tidy. One other tip, if you have a VitaMix, look into the world of green smoothies. They will change your life!
