Can I use this to mix non-instant dry milk powder (lumps up), or a blender...?

I have not tried non-instant milk powder. Sounds like it has the butter fat still in it. I would think warm water would help it mix better (not hot) and a small amt (1/4 tsp) of Safflower Oil (NOT SUNflower oil) would help. Then it would probably mix just fine and leave enough room for the shaking action.

I can tell you that I use it every day for a protein shake/Visalus/Beachbody and it works great. That powder texture and consistency is the same. So, I'd say SHAKE WELL.

I have used a blender, a shaker, and even a milkshake blender. While the both blenders do end up with a slightly more creamy and airy end result, the shaker is plenty good. Really unless you are wanting to add ice or frozen fruit why dirty the blender AND a glass when you can just use a shaker.

Yes. The blender will foam the milk to quickly and not give you the control you need.

When I tried making milk shakes, it did not slice through the ice cream well enough to mix it in...which is why I said a standard blender does a better job. It's unfortunate, since this is much easier to clean.

I own this blender, however only have used it to crush ice and make smoothies. Sorry can't answer your question really, however it looks like perhaps you may do as you say, hold something at a different level or some action such as that.

This blender should work for blending spices, however we always recommending adding some liquid the blender and not just blending dry products.

Yes, definitely! I use the Ghirardelli coco mix. First I put the powder in the cup/ glass and add just enough milk to wet the powder, otherwise the powder will fly all over the place, and stir it together. Then put your blender stick into the glass, all the way to the bottom. On low start mixing, as it begins to mix you can raise the blades to ensure all is mixed. Use a tall glass and I put the glass in the sink, because ther is some splashing. Practice different techniques, it will work. Enjoy�

I use my own recipes and have never used powdered milk. I have substitued dill pickle juice for the water when making my dill bread but that is, again, from one of my own recipes.

YES! We use it to mash and blend ingredients for guacamole all the time. Much easier to control the texture with this than to use a blender. Easier to clean too.

I use a Magic Bullet mini blender and it turns the protein powder and whatever liquid (I use almond milk) into a milkshake-like consistency. I've done it this way since I started drinking Spiru-Tein (which I love) and have never had a problem with lumps or needed to strain it. Any blender, large or small, would do the trick. Hope this helps.

Oh,sorry,I don't know. I just use it to fit Milk powder or Snacks. So,maybe you can try,but I don't make sure. At last,My English isn't well ,so...hehehe.

I think you can use it for baking and to add to cooked dishes but it is not fine enough to make a milk- it would be gritty.

I have always used it in a blender. It mixes well. It thickens what I make and I mixed all of the other ingredients together first and add this last for a better consistency.

it's kinda slimy and I imagine the powder would bunch and not blend, It depends how you apply your powder.

it can't take place of a blender and won't work well on fruit. However, it will whip the heck out of any liquid, it does an amazing job on powders too (i.e. protein powder mixes, powdered goats milk and other powdered supplements).Key thing to know, never submerge the handle in liquid other than plain clean water. the liquid level should never be higher than the handle at it's lowest point.This is a truly awesome whisk replacement, frothing milk, making which cream etc. couldn't be easier. I highly recommend this product. ~mike

I haven't tried that. I use my Cuisinart mixer shredder attachment for that. I wouldn't think the Breville would give you the result of nice shredded cheese. It is a blender afterall. And excellent for any and all blending.

Use a magic bullet or hand shaker. It's easy to mix. Very smooth not clumpy
