Ninja BN701

No, this blender is designed for cold ingredients only. You should never process hot liquids in the BN701, as the pressure buildup can cause the lid to blow off or the pitcher to crack.

The pitcher is made from BPA-free, high-durability plastic. It is lightweight and shatter-resistant, which makes it easier to handle than glass, though it is more prone to scratching over time.

The BN701 uses a stacked blade assembly that runs the full height of the pitcher. This design is excellent for crushing ice and blending large batches evenly, but you must be careful when cleaning as the blades are extremely sharp.

Yes, the pitcher, lid, and blade assembly are all top-rack dishwasher safe. For the best results and to keep the plastic clear, we recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water.

While it can process nuts, it is not a dedicated food processor. You will need to add a small amount of oil to help the blades move the mixture, and you may need to stop frequently to scrape down the sides.
