Whether you want to make a chunky salsa, a smooth milkshake, or anything in between, you can adjust the speed to meet your needs. Pulse To get more texture in your recipes, you can use the pulse feature and combine smooth layers with chunky layers, ideal for creating thick salsas and soups. 2 containers With this blender you'll get two containers - 1 20-ounce container that doubles as a travel cup, and 1 40-ounce container for cooking small batches of soups, smoothies and more. Vented lid When you're blending hot mixtures, the vented lid plug will release steam, and can easily be removed from the container so that you can add ingredients or use the tamper.
