Ninja 1100 Blender
The Ninja 1100 Blender is a complete kitchen system in one. It does the job of a juicer, a mixer, a food processor and a blender. It comes with a 72 ounce pitcher and a 40 ounce processing bowl. They both use vertical Stainless Steel blades, 6 blades and 4 blades respectively, and each have their own lids. The 72 ounce pitcher is perfect for juicing and to make frozen drinks, since it can hold 3 trays of ice.The 40 ounce, 4-blade, processing bowl is used for ice crushing, blending, pureeing, chopping and controlled processing. The Smart Speed Technology adjusts the speed of the blades to what you are processing. The whisk attachment is used in the 72oz pitcher for making meringues, batters, whipped cream, mousse, dressings and egg mixtures. The dough hook and dough paddle make it easy to make homemade dough for bread, biscuits, pretzels, pizza and desserts. More power for more chores than the previous Ninja blenders.
As a Juicer
When you use the Ninja 1100 blender as a juicer the juice will include the juice and pulp from your fruits and vegetables. These contain all of the nutrients and rich fiber that get tossed away when you use a juice extractor. You get the best results when you use fruits that have a higher content of water such as berries, oranges and pineapple. When using fruit with lower water content you just may have to add a little water or juice to the container until you get the consistency that you want.
As a Mixer
Making all kinds of bread recipes is a pleasure with the Ninja 1100 blender. It can make and handle up to 1.5 pounds of dough at a time using the dough station and dough hook or dough paddle on the slower speed setting number 1.
As a Food Processor
Now you don’t have to have a separate food processor in your kitchen. The Ninja blenders have that feature built in. They will process a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. You can make your own homemade salsas for your favorite Mexican dishes. Make all kinds of dips; vegetable dips, guacamole, chutney and hummus to name a few.
Make your own peanut butter. Yes, you can even make your own peanut butter right in your own kitchen. Just add the peanuts to the processing bowl, add a few drops of oil for desired consistency and you and your family will be enjoying fresh, healthy peanut butter.
Use speed setting number 2 to make fruit smoothies or number 3 to make sno-cones for the kids. Make creamy vanilla or chocolate soft serve ice creams. Imagine making your own Italian lemon sorbet for you, your family and guests.
As a Blender
The Ninja 1100 blender will do everything that a regular blender will do and more. Make healthy soup of all kinds like vegetable and bean soups. Sauces too are a snap. Imagine making pesto, pasta and hollandaise sauces, horseradish sauce for roast beef or prime rib. In the fall you can make homemade apple butter from farm market fresh apples.
In the summer cool off with refreshing fruit smoothies, milk shakes or alcoholic blender drinks like daiquiris and margaritas. For breakfast why not try your own waffle or pancake batter. For your dinner salads you can make your favorite salad dressings with the touch of a button. For dessert you can try your hand at your own cake recipe.
The Ninja 1100 blender has pulse-controlled processing; that’s 3 speeds for different jobs. Speed 1 is mainly for making various types of dough; pizza, biscuit, cookie and pretzel dough to name a few. Speed 2, the blending speed, is for making smoothies and for blending fruits and vegetables. Speed 3 is for when you want crushed ice for sno-cones or frozen drinks.
The massive power to do all of these things is derived from the 1100 watt motor. Even with this much power you don’t have to worry about movement with any vibration. The unit stays put on the counter top with the no-slip base. This is a marked improvement over the older model Ninja blenders.
