Can this be used to make milk shakes? If so is there a stainless steel cup which fits it and works with it instead of the glass jar?

Yes , this can make very good milk shakes but I don't know about a stainless steel cup that fits it.

It doesn't come with a metal jar. I really wouldn't buy this again. It broke so quickly and their customer service was terrible. The style is great, but I think you can get a better blender for the money.

I have never put milk in mine but I will say this for juice or water...FANTASTIC. I use mine for green tea with lemon slices and totally love it. Sorry I could not be of more help.

No. I use it with my keurig coffee maker and it will hold the smallest, 8 oz. I believe, with room for milk. It is light and does hold the heat and I like the cup.

It definitely works with cold drinks. But it is pretty small (the whipping end is about 3/4 inch across), so I don't think it would work well for mixing anything thicker than milk. I'm not sure what kind of mixtures you had in mind. Hope that's helpful!

I have never tried it. I make mine with ice and water to make it an actual shake. It only takes a minute each morning to make. I keep my blender on the countertop. You can try making it the night before and see how it works.

I have used mine for making rawfood mornig shakes that include frozen fruit and seeds -- sometimes kale. It works very well. The Vitamix I have is the only one I've tried, but it is a great product, and I assume the less expensive ones would work as well. When you look at less expensive models, read the product description carefully. I would think they should describe the capabilities of the machine.

I actually looked into this. They have a proprietary cup and no other will work in the machine. I good thing is they are fairly inexpensive and the company is really easy to work with.

I don't know. My great-nephew drinks milk out of his. I do know that the finish will not survive the dishwasher. His first mug was put in by mistake and never worked again.

You can put in glass with a lid and just shake it . But my prefrence is add ice with product and maybe a banna or yougart just what ever you want to add and put in a blender or bullet and its more like a milkshake . I really really like the product it never leaves a bad taste in mouth like a lot of diet products you will really b pleased with the product.

If you want to know if you can use mason jars instead of the cups, the answer is no. Even the pint jars are too tall and the lid won't fit tight, which means your yogurt will not heat up. The cups are included with the yogurt maker though.

There is a plastic screen attached to the plunger which would melt on the stove. You would need to remove the lid before stove heating. I'd recommend heating the milk in a coffee mug in a microwave, better and safer. This is too nice of a SS cup to burn it up on the stove! If you warp the steel the plunger might not work properly.

It would depend entirely on how thick the smoothie is. If you are talking about something as thick as a milk shake, it would probably not work (the straw is too narrow).

No, I think that would be a real mess. What I would recommend is this Breville product: http://www.brevilleusa.com/milk-cafe.html It is made to specifically heat milk.

I use it with canning jars all the time. It beats scrubbing out the pitcher every time I want a milk shake.

It came with a smaller container that is supposed to be for food processing. Yes, you definitely can make milk shakes. But, I have no idea if it could make peanut butter. I wanted it to make smoothies, but it does not chop or blend frozen fruit well at all. That is why I bought it, so I was disappointed from that aspect. I would just be concerned that if it can not chop frozen fruit well, it may not successfully blend peanuts into peanut butter.

I really don't know. The plastic part under the lid cracked and broke into several pieces, so I no longer have the cup. I wouldn't recommend buying it!
