![]() ![]() I bought the AER specifically to make gingerale. ![]() I used to make it all the time but it takes so long, but mostly involves more clean up than I want, so I stopped. I make my own syrups for sodas so I thought this might be helpful, but not so much I’d buy one. I don’t drink coffee so I don’t know what the foamy milk thing is and I don’t like Mojitos, but I bought an AER anyway. I’m pretty sure that I can make just as good of whipped cream, mayonnaise, and hollandaise sauce with the standard blending container. Turning the blender gradually all the way to 10 may work with fruit added to the whipped cream, but with the cream by itself, it splatters everywhere, and the top portion remains un-whipped, while the bottom potion starts to turn to butter.Overall: With everything the way it is now, regarding the app interfacing, lack of recipes, and unusable programs available with the Ascent, I would never buy this again if I had a do-over. I needed a recipe to take the guesswork out of that (which I luckily found in a QVC demonstration). A good example of this is that it would have taken many failed attempts at whipped cream before I figured out that I needed to only turn the speed up to 5. Vitamix will tell you that they want you to come up with your own recipes, which is ridiculous, considering the fact that this doesn’t operate like a usual blender, and would require quite a bit of experimentation/wasted ingredients. In addition, there are very few recipes (10 or 11, if I’m not mistaken) that come with this container. dry container, and won’t send any recipes to it. Also, there are absolutely no recipes in the app for this container or interfacing between the app and the blender when this container is attached to the blender. In fact, none of the programs on the A3500 work with this container, although the only other reasonable one that could work besides self-clean might be the soup program.2. It says it’s not allowed with that container. I remain optimistic about these two possibilities.The bad:1.With this container, the self clean program doesn’t work with the Ascent blenders. I will try to update this after trying mayonnaise and meringue. And if you like tons of fruit chunks/pulp in your lemonade, it’s great at making that (conversely, if you don’t, you’ll want to use a different method). Hollandaise is extremely easy and turns out pretty well. ![]() I have used this container multiple times now, and here are my thoughts:The good: It makes the easiest whipped cream, although you may need to turn your blender to setting 5-6 or for approximately 2 cups of cream.
