What Happen If I Put Ice In A Juice For Breaking it?
Now the question is, what will happen if you break a juicer by putting ice in it? If you do this, you probably need to buy a new one within the next few days.
Reason is very simple. The blades of the spinning juicer will be blunted by the hard ice, rendering it useless.
Can You Put Ice In A Blender?
You might wonder if you can put ice in a blender because you can’t put ice in a juicer. I’ll start by asking you to consider why a blender was created.
To blend hot and small food items, a blender has been created. The blades of a blender should not be used for blending extremely hard substances.
You can, however, put ice in a blender if your juicer is very powerful. But once again, blender is for blending spicy items. They’re not for breaking hard ice. That’s why I advise against putting ice in a blender.
Pre-Chill The Glass First:
Place the empty glass in the freezer for a few hours before using. Newton’s law of cooling states that as soon as juice is poured into a cold glass, the juice’s temperature immediately drops, quickly chilling the entire juice.
However, if the glass is kept in the freezer for a long time, ice may form, diluting the juice.
What About Juicing Ice In A Blender?
You’re perfectly fine putting ice in your blender if it’s the right blender, one that can handle frozen fruit and ice like these ones I’ve reviewed.
If it’s a low-quality blender, you’ll run into the same issue as with a juicer: the blades will start to wear out and your blends will get worse over time. Nobody wants a lumpy smoothie!.
However, if you have a machine like a Vitamix with blades that are already blunt, you can blend all the ice you want.
If you have a blender, you could use it to crush the ice before adding it to the juice to give it a more slushie-like texture. This can be entertaining but takes some time.
