The Right Jar for the Right Recipe: How to Get the Best Results with re:Mix

One of the things that makes re:Mix different from traditional blenders is that it works with standard TO82 Twist-Off glass jars instead of proprietary containers.

From tiny spice jars to large smoothie jars, every compatible jar opens up new possibilities in the kitchen.

But with so many options, one question comes up regularly:

Which jar works best for which recipe?

While every TO82 jar is compatible with re:Mix, choosing the right shape and size can make blending even easier and give you better results.

Tiny jars: Perfect for spices, grains, sauces and flours

Small jars are ideal whenever you're working with small quantities or dry ingredients.

They're perfect for:

• Spices
• Grains
• Seeds
• Homemade flours
• Small batches of sauces or dressings

The key to getting great results? Fill the jar well.

A fuller jar allows the ingredients to circulate more efficiently around the blades, making blending quicker and more consistent.

Flat-walled jars: Ideal for nut butters, spreads & sticky recipes

Making thick recipes like peanut butter, hummus or pesto requires a slightly different approach.

For recipes such as:

• Nut butters
• Tapenades
• Pesto
• Hummus
• Chocolate spreads

we usually prefer straight, flat-walled jars. Their shape helps thicker mixtures move more evenly while blending.

Just like with small jars, a good fill level makes a noticeable difference, especially for dense or sticky recipes. 

Curvy jars: Your everyday choice for smoothies and soups

For larger, more liquid recipes, curvy jars are our favorite. They're great for:

• Smoothies
• Soups
• Plant milks
• Milkshakes
• Frozen drinks

Many of these jars can hold up to 1.7 L, making them perfect for preparing several portions at once.

Whether you're making breakfast for yourself or soup for the whole family, these jars offer plenty of room while staying compatible with your re:Mix.

The best part? They all fit the same blender.

Every jar shown here uses the same standard TO82 thread, meaning you don't need different accessories or adapters.

One blade head. One blender. Countless jars.

That's one of the core ideas behind re:Mix: reuse what already exists instead of buying new containers.

Where can you find compatible jars?

You probably already have several in your kitchen.

Compatible TO82 jars are commonly found in:

• Supermarkets
• Coffee shops
• Nut butter brands
• Jam jars
• Pickle jars
• Apple sauce jars
• Many other everyday food products

And because many of you asked for them, we also offer a selection of compatible jars directly on our website.

There isn't just one "perfect" jar

These recommendations are simply the combinations we use most often in our own kitchen. One of the joys of re:Mix is experimenting.

You might discover that your favorite smoothie tastes even better in a jar we hadn't thought of, or that a particular sauce blends perfectly in a completely different shape.

So don't be afraid to test different jars and find what works best for your recipes.

After all, every jar has its own personality, and that's part of the fun.

 

Which jar is your favorite?

Do you have a go-to jar for smoothies, soups, pesto or nut butters?

We'd love to hear which one you use most, and maybe you'll inspire the rest of the re:Mix community.
