Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi everyone, I use a variety of glass containers for storing stevia powder, and spices, depending upon how much I use. Since I use very little stevia powder I keep it in a glass spice bottle I bought at Mountain Rose Herbs. I use a lot of cinnamon and nutmeg, which I buy in bulk, so I keep them in canning jars (used for jam or jelly), with the pretty lids - there are various sizes you can buy. I buy larger glass jars at used stores for kimchi or sauerkraut. Wal-Mart has 2 sizes of glass bowls (the smaller one has a plastic lid which doesn't touch the food) for storing and freezing food - I put Saran Wrap on those without lids and if I want it more secure I put a rubber band around it.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Ball has white plastic lids for refrigerator use instead of the canning lids. These can be purchased separately and are very very useful.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 A regular blender (that you often see with glass containers) only tops out at 10,000 RPMs - a Vitamix at 38,000 RPMs. Let's say a pitted date accidentally wasn't pitted and the pit hit the blades of a Vitamix on high - bye bye glass container! :-) They went from stainless steel to PBA free plastic because people wanted to see the food inside and because of the decreased cost to manufacture the Tritan Copolyester compaired to stainless. Here is some information on the Tritan Copolyester that we use in our containers: http://www.eastman.com/Literature_Center/M/MBS450.pdf (advertising flyer) http://www.greendepot.com/greendepot/assets/images/docs/KOR_WATER_EndocrineSpecSheet.pdf (Tritan Copolyester doesn't disrupt endocrine hormones) http://www.wta.org/trail-news/signpost/nalgene-pulls-bottles-over-safety-concerns (a company switches to Tritan Copolyester) Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL321-773-7088 (home)321-961-9219 (cell)www.VitamixLady.comwww..com 13:35 <)))>< glass containers hi all ... i'm really curious why the vitamixdoesn't come with a glass containerany thoughts ...i know the old containers were stainlesssteelchristopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Glass is impractical. For one thing, it's breakable. Add to that the possibility of leaving a piece of silverware in a glass container while it's running and you have a potentially hazardous situation. Then there's the fact that it would be extremely heavy and would have to be heat-proof as well. The old containers handled all of these issue with no problem but it's nice to be able to see in while you're blending and the fact that there are measuring increments that can be seen from the outside is nice, too. glass containers  hi all ... i'm really curious why the vitamix doesn't come with a glass container any thoughts ... i know the old containers were stainless steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
