Blendtec Cycle Conversions
What if my blender doesn't have the Batters cycle? I don't see a Whole Juice button on my Blendtec - what speed should I use? If you have found yourself asking these questions, you are not alone.
Our Fresh Blends Recipe Book and many of the recipes on our website were created specifically for the Total Blender Classic Series, which has 6 preprogrammed blend cycles, manual speed up & speed down controls, and a pulse button. Since then, many new Blendtec models have been created and they don't all have the same options. However, they all have the same capabilities!

We're working on creating a prettier conversion chart, but for now, use these instructions to convert blend cycles:
SMOOTHIE Blend on a Medium speed for 40-50 seconds.
SAUCES/DIPS/DRESSINGS/BATTERS Blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30 seconds.
ICE CREAM/FROZEN YOGURT Blend on a Low speed for 15 seconds, then blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 30 seconds.
WHOLE JUICE Blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 50-60 seconds.
SOUPS/SYRUPS/FONDUES Blend on a High speed for 90-180 seconds, blending longer for hotter soup.
CLEAN CYCLE Blend for 10-20 seconds, starting at a low speed and gradually increasing to a high speed, then decreasing again before stopping.
ICE CRUSH/MILKSHAKE Blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30-40 seconds.
Keep an eye on it as to not over- or under-blend.
*These cycles are meant to be guides. You may want to blend less or more depending on the consistency you're looking for (and the ingredients you're using). Any questions? Ask us in the comments below. Happy blending!
Good question – your blender starts at a low speed on speed 1 and goes up to a high speed of 9 (medium would be around speed 5). So, for the batters cycle, you would blend on Medium Low (speed 3 or 4) for 30 seconds. Happy blending!
I just bought 570 blendtec from Costco and i wanted to make Ice-cream and I tried the same thing in store was demonstrated I used Ice instead of frozen fruits,but it came out like smoothie which is like the regular blender you buy much less expensive,would you tell me what should i do to make the ice cream?
What speed for Nut butters using a WildSide jar for a new 570 model. thx.
For replacement parts, please call 800-253-6383, and one of our customer service representatives can assist you.
There are times when thicker blends can get pushed to the side of the jar. When this happens, we recommend stopping, scraping the sides, and then continue blending. The Twister jar is really the best option for thick blends, especially nut butters.
