There’s nothing like dipping a cold, crisp apple into warm, creamy almond butter. People used to make nut butters in their FourSide and WildSide jar by adding oil or stopping the blender midcycle to scrape partially blended nuts off the sides of the jar. That worked, but Blendtec’s engineers thought there had to be a better way. We brainstormed dozens of concepts, selected the ones most likely to work and started prototyping. Our engineering lab smelled like almond butter for weeks! The end result is the one-of-a-kind Twister jar.
Making Almond Butter in the Twister Jar
With the Twister jar, all you have to do is turn on the blender and twist the lid! The two tines on the Twister lid push the nuts back to the blade while you’re blending. The result: warm, creamy nut butter in seconds. Want it crunchy? Just add a few nuts at the end of the cycle and pulse. Not into nut butters? The Twister jar also works great for making perfectly blended hummus, flavored cream cheese and other thick spreads. Additionally, the jar is the right size for single-serving smoothies, baby food and many other recipes.
Whatever you’ve blended, you can use the custom-designed and specially contoured Spectacula, which comes with the Twister jar, to remove every last delicious bit from the jar. What would you like to try blending in the Twister jar?

About Paul Faerber
I'm the Director of Engineering at Blendtec. I've been with Blendtec since 2006. Part of what makes my job so fun is our great group of creative, clever, dedicated engineers. I love to engineer products that people use every day—products that people use to achieve their health goals, and sometimes make decadent treats, too!
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. We love to play games, go on hikes, read, watch movies, and cuddle. Most nights we have healthy smoothies made with our Blendtec blender. Weekends are the perfect time for whole wheat pancakes and crepes. Our kids have come to associate the sound of the blender with a healthy treat!
I must say thank you to the engineers. I love my twister jar and use it for almost everything, especially when I make nutella. Thanks
Nutella is the best! I also really like crunchy peanut butter made using peanut m&m’s. The candy shell makes for a great crunchy texture, and the chocolate gives it a bit of a nutella feel.
I would love to use this for nut butters… it works out in my food processor, but it takes a lot of time, which, as a high school student, I already don’t have a lot of. I’m saving up to buy a twister jar right now! I can’t wait until I can get “nut butter in seconds”!
I would love to have a twister jar to make homemade nut butters and small batches of homemade icecream.
I clean mine by adding water, a few drops of soap and running the soup setting a couple of times. The water gets really hot and leaves the inside clean and sanitized.
