Can you use it to blend hot gravy or soups?

This buyer did not use for blending hot items, but I don't see why not. The "container" is not glass, but I would think it was certainly made to accommodate hot food (as well as cold). Just make sure the lid is on tightly so that you do not splatter liquid and burn yourself. Not putting down the P-S brand, if you do a lot of blending frequently and expect to have it serve your needs for years, for example, you might want to go with one of the brands that have been making this item for many years, such as a Hamilton Beach or such, and one that has a glass container and a very strong motor. The Proctor-Silex is very easy to clean and the firm, heavy base is good for stability.

I use it for soups such as pumpkin soup etc. You should be fine with gravy and soups.

Not possible. It is designed to chop and grate fruits and vegetables, not to mix.

Sure you can. But please be more specific in your question. You could definitely it as a vehicle for soups and such. I've used mine in the stove, in my fireplace and in a fire pit. I'd you have a specific idea in mind, let me know!

I don't think so, this is for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, you might want a mini-blender or regular blender for that.

I returned my blender after two or three soup efforts as the heating element failed. If I remember correctly the plastic thing is not long enough to reach the blades and it is used to push material down into the blender. I am not for sure as I purchased a ninja blender and simply cook my soup on the stove now. You may have better luck than I did.

Any recipe that calls for food processor you can use the Ninja Pulse. Many blended soups would be easy with the Pulse, but it doesn't cook. You would poor the mixture into your soup pot to cook after mixing.

Yes. Gravy Master would be used to enhance the drippings of what you are making the sauce "from." If there is a Gravy Master Sauce out there....it would be absolutely delicious, I'm sure!

Sure! You can use it for steaming, boiling or deep frying. We used it last night for steaming veggies, seafood, and sausage. My dad uses his to deep fry turkey.

I actually do use it for soup. Of course you have to be careful, like opening a hot radiator.

I'm not sure, but you probably could, you can make chowders and other soups in it and when I make beans in the oven, the go into a boil. Some one else may have a better answer based on experience.

Yes you can do it and it does not effect the life of the product. But if you do it with wet products it will be better for blending .

I think so....it heats evenly, the sides can get hot, but if keep at a low temp with frequent stirring. Works great for soups, sauces I have made. Good Luck!

The blade and housing are made of metal and should be able to blend soups. I'm not sure about ice. The manual does not indicate that those items are a problem.

Yes you can. I mix it with both hot water and milk. When mixing with water I noticed I needed to use more mix to fulfill the flavor.

Yes. We have made gravy in ours a few times. Easy does it on the heat! Don't need too much.

I believe you can do anything in this blender. It has a lot of speeds on it. I don't see why not

It will blend and pulverize those items. However, I replaced it twice because it stopped working. Once after a week and once after two days. Stay away a from this and go buy the cuisinart. It is great.
