🥤 Vitamix 48 oz. Aer Disc Container Review

Cool thing. I made whipped coconut cream for french toast in about 25 seconds. I also used it to make a quick hollandaise for 35 quick Eggs Benedict at a brunch I made.

The Are Disk container works great and the hot chocolate is hot and delicious. The only problem - and this is the problem - is that 6 minutes of loud rumbling to make hot chocolate is a bit harsh and quite hard on the ears and nerves! I think you can't have everything.

I loved it because it promises to whip and emulsify better than a blender bowl and the ability to blend seemed cool. What a disappointment! Whipping wasn't a noticeable improvement over a regular can to justify the cost and storage space of another can, and the confusion added too much air to the drink so I ended up with a frothy lemonade. I returned it.

I've been waiting for this thing to go on sale. It did what it needed to do, but it's not the handiest tool in the kitchen. I often go for the standard Vitamix container mash. And this container is not synchronized with the motor to use different pre-programmed cycles. Overall, I'm glad I spent what I spent on it, but Elton Brown's admonition about single-purpose tools in the kitchen comes to mind all the time. Luckily I have a very large kitchen with lots of cabinets so this rarely used tool…

I'm in love. While it's a bit of a hassle and outrageously expensive to buy a completely different case instead of just buying a new blade, this case is EVERYTHING! I really like Starbucks cold foam and therefore spend too much money on their expensive coffee. This product produced the densest, silkiest lather. It absolutely cannot be beat and I don't know of any other way to achieve such perfection. Absolutely recommendable if you are a cold foam fan like me.

I bought this to be able to make my own Cloud Foam mixes like Starbucks drinks. You need a thickener like egg white to make it so fluffy. I also use powdered milk for a creamy effect. It is great! I'm also experimenting with emulsifying ingredients for dressings. The ratio to make the cloud foam very thick and creamy is usually about 1/5 of the container to 1/3 and a tablespoon of egg white and powdered milk. Revain saved me about $50 off the regular price. I used it almost every day. So far…

I've used this container a few times and here's what I'm thinking: Turn the mixer on to the 5-6 setting or about 2 cups of heavy cream . Dutch is very easy and works quite well. And if you like a ton of fruit chunks/pulp in your lemonade, it's great for that (conversely, if you don't like it, you'll want to use a different method). Will try to update this after trying the mayonnaise and meringue. I remain optimistic about both of these possibilities. Bad: 1. The self-cleaning program on Ascent…
