Vitamix Dry Grains Container

This container is specifically designed for the Vitamix Ascent and Venturist series blenders. It will not fit older Vitamix models like the Classic or Legacy series.

The blade design is the primary difference. While standard containers are built to pull ingredients down into the blades for liquid blending, this container features blades designed to create a reverse vortex that pushes dry ingredients away, preventing them from packing together while you grind grains or knead dough.

While it is technically possible, this container is optimized for dry ingredients like grains, spices, and heavy doughs. For the best results with liquids, smoothies, or hot soups, you should stick to your standard wet container.

Yes, the container, lid, and tamper are all dishwasher safe. For the longest lifespan, however, many users prefer to rinse it immediately after use or run a quick cleaning cycle with warm water and a drop of dish soap.

When you place the container on your Ascent or Venturist base, the machine automatically detects it. This allows the blender to adjust its maximum speed and program settings specifically for this container, ensuring you get the best performance for dry processing.

Yes, it includes a tamper specifically sized for this container. It is essential for processing thick mixtures like yeast doughs or nut butters, as it helps push ingredients into the blades without hitting them.
