I absolutely love the Twister Jar! I make a smoothie every morning with a powder, soy milk, and 2 hand fulls of spinach. The contents fit this smaller jar perfectly, so I don't use the wildside for this anymore. This jar is so easy to clean and dry because it's rounded and it blends the ingredients as well as the wildside. Once in awhile I will end up with a leaf of spinach. No big deal, eat it or throw it out. I make my own humus, sweet potato pudding, nice cream (wfpb ice cream replacement), "no tuna" spread, etc. The jar does a fantastic job of pulverising black beans and garbonzo beans, maybe just a little blean left sometimes. So much better than mashing them by hand or trying to do it with a regular jar and spatula. Thank you Blendtec for making my life so much easier with this jar!
I bought this because it said it was good at doing thick smoothies. I love doing sorbet and the regular and wild side jars usually need to be room through a few cycles to make it nice and thick like I like it. However, with the twister jar I have to choose if I want a soupy mixture or if I want large chunks of fruit in my sorbet, neither of which is my preference. I haven't tried doing nut butters, which it would probably do better with. I was also extremely frustrated to have the lid come off mid-cycle and spray smoothie everywhere. But I learned to do much smaller smoothie amounts and that helped.
The Twister Jar is the perfect answer to making nut butters, salad dressings, and guacamole! I’ve always loved my Blendtec, and the Twister Jar has become a very well used tool in my kitchen!
