Explore how easy it is to make healthy, whole-food recipes at home. From appetizers to dessert, the 2L container is ideal for blending medium to large batches for family meals or entertaining. 10 variable speeds allow you to refine every texture with culinary precision, from the smoothest purées to the heartiest soups. With the pulse feature, layer coarse chops over smooth purees for heartier recipes, such as chunky salsas or thick vegetable soups. The powerful 2.2 HP motor can handle even tough ingredients to create high-quality blends. With a drop of dish soap and warm water, your Vitamix machine can clean itself in 30 to 60 seconds and no disassembly required. The blades create a simultaneous slicing and pulverizing action to quickly reduce recipe ingredients to a smooth puree. The angle of the spill-proof container spout lets you serve blends with a mess-free pour. The vented lid and lid plug let you bring dishes to hot serving temperatures right in the container, or add ingredients while blending to adjust texture.
