Shopping for a new commercial blender but confused about clear vs solid jars? It’s not just about personal preference – there are key differences based on the type of food your chef or bartender is blending:
Clear Blender Jars
- Made of polycarbonate
- Popular for drink blenders
- Easy to see contents and costs less than stainless
- Prone to scratching and clouding over time depending on excessive exposure to cleaning chemicals and sanitizers
Solid Blender Jars
- Made of stainless steel
- Popular for food blenders (AKA: culinary blenders)
- Preferred by chefs for its durability and performance under extreme temperatures – cold and hot
- Higher-end jars can handle thick ingredients like hummus better than the clear alternative
