Vitamix Ascent Series 1.4 L Aer Disc Container

1.4 Vitamix Aer Disc blender jug for Ascent

When the Ascent series was launched, our customers regularly criticised the lack of variety in the blender jug. Although the Ascent came onto the market with the ingenious cups and bowls concept and separate blender, otherwise there was only the 2 litre blender jug included as standard. With the Aer Disc container, there is now a container that was previously not available for any of the Vitamix appliances in Europe. Now one more reason to choose the Ascent range. This new Vitamix container with a maximum capacity of 1.4 litres fits all Ascent models and is ideal for whipping up even small quantities of 200 ml or more in no time at all. It opens a new door to varied flavours and textures. With the special whirling disc patented by Vitamix on the base of the container, instead of the winged blades normally used, the finest gourmet foams, mayonnaises or airy creams can be produced.

The patented Aer disc is a simple but very effective innovation that makes it possible to implement culinary techniques such as whipping, folding, foaming and emulsifying with minimal effort. The initially liquid ingredients are captured by small holes in the rotating whirling disc and are foamed and emulsified in the process. Of course, more solid ingredients such as ice cube fragments, pieces of fruit, herbs and spices can also be mixed in, but although these are captured, they are not pureed and incorporated into the foam as whole pieces.

This is an uncomplicated and creative way to create extraordinary products in your own kitchen that are otherwise only found in a well-run bar or restaurant. The result is handmade cocktails of the highest quality, because unlike a classic mixing container, cocktails are cooled by ice cubes without destroying the ice itself.

Perfect and easily reproducible textures are no longer rocket science with the Aer disc container. Uniformly creamy consistencies, airy culinary foams or stiffly whipped cream, why not? When fresh fruit, vegetables or herbs are added to the mix, the swirl disc will only partially capture and chop the ingredients for added texture and flavour. The results are easily controlled by the blender speed setting. So you will often be asked, how did you make that, the slightly crushed berries in the nice cream, the perfect hollandaise or béchamel sauce, the delicious non-alcoholic cocktail and much more? All with just one tap on the start button of the Vitamix, without a whisk or other special tools and secret information.

As with other Vitamix blender jugs, the jugs are BPA-free as they are made from high-quality Eastman Tritan™ plastic.
