Pair the Dry Grains Container with your Vitamix® Ascent™ Series blender to grind fresh flour and spices, mix batter, and knead dough. Its unique design pushes ingredients up and away from the blades to efficiently process dough and dry grains. Self-Detect® Technology Your Ascent™ Series blender will recognize the container and automatically adjust blend settings for its size. Easy to Clean The container and lid are both dishwasher-safe, or can be cleaned by blending a drop of dish soap and warm water for 35 seconds. Long-Lasting Blades Laser-cut blades are crafted from hardened stainless steel, delivering better blends and longer life. See-Through Lid and Lid Plug A clear lid with leak-proof seal helps you monitor the progress of every blend. A removable, vented lid plug allows you to add ingredients while blending, and doubles as a 2-ounce measuring cup. Engineered for Whole Grains The blades in our Dry Grains Container are specifically designed to create a reverse vortex, pushing dry ingredients away from the blades to prevent packing.
