Ninja Countertop Blender

Features

The Ninja BL660 is an old model released into the market half a decade ago, making the design of this model obsolete compared to today’s models. But this doesn’t mean it can’t do the job of mixing frozen pinnacle, coconut milk, and rum to make badass Pina Coladas. What it lacks in design makes up for it in power. Its 1100 watts base is powerful enough to crush ice easily, as this base makes it perfect for producing our frozen drink – Pina Coladas with relative ease.

The Ninja BL660 also comes with one 64 ounce capacity pitcher, big enough to serve a large gathering of people. It also comes with two 16 ounces Nutri-cups which can double as a mini blender for one serving of the delicious Pina Coladas drink.

The Ninja BL660 is also dishwasher safe and easy to use (Once you get used to those pesky blades).

FAQ’s

Which is better at Making Pina Coladas, Blenders, or Juicers?

A Juicer with a powerful motor can handle the frozen pineapple, which is the only “strong” ingredient when making the Puerto Rican drink. Although juicing a lump of coconut meat (Coconut separated from the husk) to get its milk may pose a problem because coconut doesn’t juice well. If you must use a juicer, soak the coconut a night before and adding some water. As for a blender, most of them will do well with all ingredients.

Can a Food Processor be Used to Make Pina Coladas?

If asking this question, we can only assume you are curious about it or don’t want to spend on a blender. The quick answer is yes, and the long answer is to be prepared to drink something closer to munch Pina Coladas and not the actual drink. Food processor’s designs don’t make them suitable for making liquids like Pina Coladas. They make food processors to chop, slice and crunch ingredients and not blend them into a smooth liquid. A blender is your best choice in this case.

Can an Immersion Blender make Pina Coladas?

The quick answer is maybe. It is maybe because usually, it isn’t possible. The motor of most hand-held blenders cannot do the work of crushing frozen foods. And even if the hand-held blender crushes the frozen pineapples, mixing it with the other ingredients (Coconut milk and rum) to have a smooth liquefied consistency may prove too hard for it. We advise you to stick with traditional blenders.

Bottom Line

The guide is to provide you with the option of choosing what best suits your needs (and pocket, of course), so any of the blenders mentioned will do a pretty good job of creating that delicious Puerto Rican juice.
