The Vitamix 48-ounce Container is designed to process medium batches with a lightweight design that fits easily under most kitchen cabinets. Every angle of the Vitamix container is designed to create a uniquely controlled vortex, systematically folding ingredients back to the blades for faster, smoother blends. 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.
