When I got closer to the blades, it did become a struggle making my silicone spatula a casualty among the blades trying to get the batter out. However, the thick batter didn't just pour out, so I settled on spooning out. When I added in eggs and sugar, and ran the pulse cycle, it soon turned into a doughy paste, the consistency I was looking for. I blended on medium for just a few seconds two cups of peanuts that quickly pulverized to a chalky consistency. Wanting to try how the blender handled thicker consistencies like nut butter, I took things manual to make a peanut butter batter ( note: the Ace Plus model also has a nut butter setting).

Luckily, the powerful self-clean setting had no issue dislodging any food remnants from the blades.Īlong with the permanent blades, other excellent safety features included with the Instant Ace Nova Blender are automatic shutoff and overheating protection. The stainless steel blades are not removable, which is a safety feature, but it can make cleaning a little more tedious.

You can also toggle with the manual features to choose temperature, monitor operation time and change speeds. Each setting has a pre-set time, in which it will countdown to when it is finished. Once the blender is locked into place and it registers as ON, you can select the desired settings, and press start. If you do want to add ingredients mid-blend or use the tamper, you can just take out the insert from the lid of the blender.

In order for the blender to turn, the lid must be securely locked into place, to where it gently shifted and is lined up with the handle. Measurement lines make it easy to keep track of how much you're making. at a time, if you're just preparing a very small amount. Even though it is a pretty large design, you still only need to blend a minimum of a quarter cup, or 2 oz. However, it is still a heavy and solid container, especially when full. The large 54 ounce glass pitcher has an arrow marker that lines up with a marker on the base. The Keep Warm setting will also keep contents hot for up to two hours.
