Mason Jars Can Be Used as Mini Blender Jars

Perhaps this is why they call them “Blender Jars” — the thread on the bottom of the jar is the same as a mason jar. That means you can remove the blade assembly from your large blender jar and attach it to a mason jar for small recipes, quick smoothies, baby food, etc.
If you’ve already got a blender, that’s just a few dollars in mason jars. Otherwise, you could shell out $50 for a magic bullet:

I can actually say, and mean it without “age-old” arrogance,
I AM Old Enough To Know This:)
But sadly, Kerr sealers are no longer available in Canada, and the alternatives do not have the ideal seal Kerr does…leaving canning/jar tumbler users like me saying, “Only in the U.S. of A., eh? Such a Bloomin’ Pity!”

You should cross the border one day for a holiday and stock up on those mason jars, or Amazon.com. :)

I just finished cleaning up a crazy mess of coconut oil, olive oil, and garlic. I will be finding this mixture in my kitchen for weeks, I’m sure. In theory, the canning jar idea is fantastic. But canning jars don’t have tabs on them that keep them from unscrewing themselves from the blender ring like the actual blender jar does. I vaguely remember having this issue once before when trying to use a canning jar. At least the kitchen smells good…

Well, maybe a firm hand on the jar to prevent that in the future? I’m still a bit skeptical but I’m willing to test it… with simple tap water! If it works, then I’ll move on to other things.

My husband has been wanting one of those Magic bullets or one of those Ninja blenders for a long time. I have been putting off actually getting one of those and as of tonight seeing this, I will NEVER buy one. I was actually giddy to see this lol. Sorry Hubby ;)

Haha, that’s great Steph! That has happened a few times now; somebody I know is searching for something and they coincidentally find the answer on my site.
