Does it work with hot meals? To puree a recently cooked veggie soup for example.

I have steamed apples in the microwave & then thrown them in this to make applesauce. That worked great.

Yes, it works great on hot items. I have used it with various soup recipes with great success! I love this little machine!

It could be used for soup, although it takes a while to get real hot and cleaning might be difficult.

Yes and no. If you have one simple dish like spaghetti then yes but if you have meat, rice and veggies and you don't want it all mixed together then no. I mainly use it for soups.

It can pressure cook some other foods. Beans are done well in this machine. Soup is fun to make in a rice cooker. If you are asking if there is a function on the menu for meat, the answer is no. If you are asking if people do it or its possible, the answer is yes. I hope this helps.

I don't think I would try boiling hot soup, but soup that's cool enough to eat should be fine.

This is mainly designed for beverages. If you try it for mashed veges I would add some stock to the cooked veges.

This can be used to puree fruit, but about hot fruit I'm not sure. Maybe you should let it cool and then puree it.

I've never tried that, but, it should work. Wonder how hot (or not) food inside the package will get.

I haven't and would not use it for soup. In my opinion, it's not deep enough to cover vegetables and or meat with broth. I always use my stock pot for soups.

Yes-- it works very well. Some fat will go into the spout which you'll want to pour off, the rest will float to the top in the container. What works best is to chill it and spoon out the fat but if you want to eat immediately, pour out the soup and keep the fat in the gravy separator.

I have used it to puree vegetables that had been cooked soft in a slow cooker dish and was happy with the results. If you are cooking/steaming the vegetables to a relatively soft stage, I think you'd get a good result. I don't know that you would get as successful a result with meat. Don't know about fruit. Hope that helps.

I have used for soup, I add hot water to the thermos while heating soup on the stove. The soup stays warm.

I have only used it for ice cream thus far. It is not insulated, so it would not keep the soup warm for a prolonged period of time. Also, it will not protect your hands very well from the heat of the soup inside.

Yes I believe so.... It works really well when your cooking with it. You just can't add it to your meal after our meal is done. You will have salt crystals. I hope this helps.

I have been very pleased with this product so far. It perfectly blended boiled cauliflower when making a soup, so I am sure it will do the items you mentioned. You might have to mash them a bit with the blender, while blending.

It works fabulously for just about anything you want to use it. Soup, stews, you name it you can use it for it.

To be honest I have only used it to blend oatmeal, bananas, peanut butter and milk, so I can't really say how it would handle those veggies. If those veggies were in water or chicken stock I bet they would blend fine.
