How does this blender do with hot ingredients- such as pureeing hot soup ingredients? Any splattering or lid popping off?

I have not pureed hot ingredients but the lid fits really well and I would not hesitate to do so. really good blender

Nope...lid holds very tight....the center cap holds tight but seems as if there is enough roo. To allow steam to pass so pressure doesn't buold up

This buyer did not use for blending hot items, but I don't see why not. The "container" is not glass, but I would think it was certainly made to accommodate hot food (as well as cold). Just make sure the lid is on tightly so that you do not splatter liquid and burn yourself. Not putting down the P-S brand, if you do a lot of blending frequently and expect to have it serve your needs for years, for example, you might want to go with one of the brands that have been making this item for many years, such as a Hamilton Beach or such, and one that has a glass container and a very strong motor. The Proctor-Silex is very easy to clean and the firm, heavy base is good for stability.

I brought a Used Health Master and have had the blender for 4+ months now and no problems w/ it. I'm somewhat surprised to see all the feedback about leaking jugs and rusting. My experience has been great so far, but I can't speak to its long-term use.

The blender has a plastic jug which is not quite as good as glass with hot foods. The main thing though is this is a cheap, low quality blender (I had two which both died on me). I DO NOT recommend it in any way. If you want a cheap blender then WalMart have ones for a third of the price with double the warranty of this one, or of course there are many here.

Yes. This blender puree hot liquids for soups. The glass is resistant to high temperature and I have to confess that, as the glass is weight, I have changed it for one made of plastic and it still work perfect and also resistant to high temperature. I consider that this is one of the best buy that I have made. I hope this help you.

Haven't had any issues with it heating up. I blend directly in pan for creating creamy soups and sauces. Try pulsing if you have heating problem when doing large quantities whether cold or hot.

Hi - no the blender only blends but does an amazing job. You will need to cook your soup on your stove. Good luck!

I'd recommend checking out a Contigo mug. There is no pressure release mechanism in the blender bottle so hot liquids can result in pressure buildup and a quick release of steam when you open the bottle (I've experienced this when using very hot water to wash the bottle...).

there are some plastic parts in it (screen, tips, rubber gasket). I would not recommend it for hot recipe. 2 tips, a straight one and one that has a budge in the middle to create more fluffy foam. If you use it for hot recipe, you might burn yourself since the body is stainless and conducts heat easily.

I have only used blenders. I believe my wife tried without a blender and it ended up 'gloopy'

Instructions state not to use hot liquids in the blender. Of course I didn't know this prior to using it and now the cutting blade cap leaks. So fair warning.

I personally do not trust for very hot food or liquid. My preference is glass as the best choice. Unfortunately very few glass pitcher blenders are offered in contrast to polycarbonate, etc

Yes. This model has a stainless steel wand and its own beaker, whisk, chopper and pure masher attachment . Plus the Soup XL pan blender - an attachment specially designed for blending soups directly into the saucepan without splashing.

Never tried the blender without any liquids in it... I would suggest not to operate it while its empty. Try filling in half of the liquids and soft food and see if it works..

My blender looks a little different. Maybe it creates a vacuum seal and you just need to use something to break the seal. I've not had that problem.

Don't know about hard veggies, but if it does get to a liquid state you'll end up wearing some of it if you stop and restart. The plug in the top will not seal and the force of restarts causes contents to spew out every time. Wife loves KitchenAid but not this blender! She's getting a Ninja.

This is my 3rd Stir Crazy. My 20yo Stir Crazy has never had the Teflon 'flake' off nor did the one I had the previous 10yr, whose lid finally broke in two. On my 1st 2 the wand 'used' to actually sit on the Teflon and scrape the ridge as it went around. That did wear off some of the Teflon but I don't consider that flaking. Only problem I've ever had with them is the lid cracks after 10+ years. This lid is a new shape, so we'll see.
