Many branded plastic blender jars have tags like &#8220;BPA-free&#8221; plastic. There would be many questions hitting your mind. What are all these materials? Is a glass blender better?

It is not safe when it comes in contact with food items. This BPA chemical can migrate from the plastic container into the food. The level of migration 1)increases at higher temperatures 2)increases over time and 3) increases with higher levels of fats and acidic components in the food items. <strong><strong>Many cheap blenders have BPA plastic that is not safe for blending food items. If you have an inexpensive blender do not blend hot food like soups in the jar.\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BPA-free products don\u2019t contain BPA. Blender manufacturers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/why-does-vitamix-use-plastic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vitamix<\/a>, Ninja, Blendtec, and other good brands now use BPA-free plastic of high quality in their containers. <strong>BPA-free Jars may not be as hazardous as cheap plastic but according to some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.care.com\/c\/what-does-bpa-free-mean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research<\/a>, there may still be a little risk involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_and_cons_of_using_a_plastic_jar_blender\"><\/span>Pros and cons of using a plastic jar blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-3\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<ul><li>Inexpensive<\/li><li>Easy to handle<\/li><li>Lightweight<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\"><li>Scratch with hard items<\/li><li>Absorb stains and odor<\/li><li>Hard to clean<\/li><li>Not safe in dishwasher<\/li><li>Health concerns (leaching)<\/li><li>Bad for hot food<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t like plastic either, but there is so much of it in our lives that it\u2019s just unavoidable. Even if the blender container is made of glass, the base with blades will still be of plastic. <strong>The risk with a high-quality branded blender is low because of a shorter period of blending and is not worth the worry. <\/strong>If you still consider avoiding plastic, you should go for a glass jar or even a stainless steel container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Glass_Jar_for_blender\"><\/span>Glass Jar for blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Glassware is the choice of most people who work in the kitchen.
