Professional jug blenders

What a jug blender is

The jug blender, also called a professional blender, blends inside its own jug with a blade at the bottom, driven by the motor base. It makes purées, soups, sauces, mayonnaise, milkshakes and cocktails. The stick blender, by contrast, works inside the user’s pot or container.

Frequently asked questions about jug blenders

Are a jug blender and a blender the same thing?

In catering, both names are used for motor-base machines with their own jug and blade. The trade name varies by manufacturer and model; capacities, power, controls and suitability for ice change from one model to another.

What is the difference between a jug blender and a stick blender?

The jug blender blends inside its own jug with the blade at the bottom. The stick blender works inside the user’s pot or container, with the blade at the end of the shaft.

Which models can work with ice?

The 1.8-litre ice-crushing blender, the 2 and 4-litre blenders, the 3-litre blender and the 2-litre 1,200 W blender.

Do they need a three-phase supply?
