What is the difference between the dry food blade and the wet food blade?

The difference between the dry food blade and the wet blade is that the dry food blade is used to turn foods like uncooked rice into flour, or popcorn kernels into corn flour. The wet blade is used for food items like your frozen and fresh fruits, kale, peanuts for peanut butter, cooked veggies and so on. I hope this answer is helpful to you.

I only have the wet food blade/container. But I have used it for things such as grinding peanuts into peanut butter. I have not tried coffee beans into grounds since the quanity one would have to grind would be too much anyway. Personally, I would get the mixer (it is really good) and wait on getting the dry container. You may find you are happy without it. You can also look directly on the vita mix web site for some video tutorials. They show the dry container there too and what they do with it.

The dry food blade is more blunt, causing it to impact against the food rather than slicing into it.It is also angled to push the food up rather than drawing it down.You CAN do dry goods in the original wet container, but it isn't quite as efficient, and it will "frost" the container. If you're going to grind much grain at all, the dry container is definitely worth it.

This works just fine with dry foods. The sealing bar is inside the chamber. I have a different model which only works well as a vacuum sealer. It won't seal a bag without first drawing the vacuum since the vacuum is what causes the sealing bar to be pulled tightly against it's backing material.

Dry but I haven't noticed any difference between the two settings. It also says don't do soft cheese but I do shredded mozerella all the time.

There are two kinds of blades for the Nutribullet. the first contains a double set of blades which pulverizes and purees wet foods. The other contains a single bladedesigned to grind dry foods such as nuts, coffee beans etc.

Just got it a few days ago. Not sure how helpful this is, but immediately after using, I typically rinse the areas that would have come in contact with food, then dry with a towel. I suppose you could fit a damp/soapy q-tip behind the cutting blade if something got really stuck in there, then rinse lightly and dry. As someone already suggested, a small brush or even toothbrush seems like a good idea.

Hi, don't know the difference. The one I bought 3-4 yrs ago has actual dicing area about 3" square. If the other one is bigger, then more usable. I found slamming w/my fist made the dicing easier. Strong and easy to clean. I use it weekly. You can't dice a whole onion as pictured, must cut it into narrow horizontal thirds. Softer vegs would work easier. But the dice is a uniform 1/4". Happy cooking.

The difference is the former & cheaper is actually better. This one is stainless steel but doesn't have the adjustable thickness option or the bowl option available. I bought the older version after this one and liked it much better. I hope this helps.

The blade is not removable. It gets food stuck underneath the blade and you cannot clean it. It's kinda gross.

With this device you can use any type of food, either dry or flaked grains also remains dry preventing food from sticking and does not leave. Regards

Flex refers to a blade that bends more easily to assist in delicate tasks like deboning fish or chicken. Semi-stiff is more rigid and better suited to heavier cutting tasks like working with beef, pork and most game. Both are good, provided you get the one that best suits your needs, eg., more flexible blades tend to need more maintenance to keep a fine edge if used for heavier cutting tasks and can, to inexperienced hands, be more dangerous to use since the blade, through flexing, moves both vertically and side to side.

I have both and there's really no difference. Blades are the same length and appear identical other than the color.

Semi stiff allows trimming of roasts or a deboning type blade. Flex blade allows trimming or filet of a seafood item such as salmon or other fish. Hope this helps!! Either way this is a great knife!!

It does not dry grind foods inside the machine without water. It only makes liquid foods. It is like a blender with a heating element. The various cycles grind the foods into the water (liquids) to make a puree while heating it. For most milks and foods you must soak dry ingredients first before processing them into the milk or soup or whatever.

One is more powerful than the other and the milling blade is to grinding ..example cinnamon sticks to cinnamon powder, flax seeds to flax powder and so on

The most important item is a timer that switches the unit off. An on/off switch is a good idea to stop the process when the food is sufficiently dried. But you can always unplug the machine.

It has one blade inside the pureer. I purchased it for that exact reason. My son is now 9 mos and no longer eating purees but for mos 4-8 this was what I used to make his food and it worked great

With the different blades, you get different types of cuts- also I think it's much safer than my mandolin. With a food processor, you don't get the long noodle like cuts as you do with the spirializer. I have all three but am using the spirializer most often.
