I got the stainless container in anticipation of having hot things to mix up periodically, not comfortable with the plastic for that. The opacity has not been an issue as you can hear (and see through the lid) when hard items make it to the bottom. Regardless, I use the tamper to get that whirlpool action going, and then you know for sure that it’s all reaching an even consistency. I love the stainless thing, it’s robust and reminds me of how milk shakes used to be served in restaurants.
Slightly off topic, so apologies in advance. How are you getting on with the Vitamix stainless steel container shown in your photograph? I like the idea, but wonder how it is in practice being opaque, e.g., how does one know whether something solid is not reaching the blade, requiring the tamper?
