How does a Blendtec blender make hot soup?
The 3-horsepower motor is spinning the blades so fast, the ingredients are heated by the friction they create in such a small space. It’s enough heat to make soup heat up to around 160°F - hot enough you'll need to blow on it first! Check out Chef Austin's Blended Hot Soup Guide for more info and a quick recipe for cheddar-broccoli soup.


How does a Blendtec blender make ice cream?
Believe it or not, the same way it makes hot soup. The blades spin so fast, frozen ingredients are so finely pulverized that the frozen chunks, like ice or frozen fruit, freeze the liquid around them, creating frozen deserts like ice cream. Check out Chef Austin's Blendtec blender Ice Cream Guide for directions and recipes.
