The Osterizer blender, which debuted in 1946, sported rounded edges and horizontal lines of streamlining design, a modern look popular since the 1930s--one suited to mass production. Rectilinear and angled features gained popularity in the mid-1950s, yet this blender held appeal for many years.

Osterizer is a brand which has been used by Oster Manufacturing for its line of blenders since 1946.

The Oster Manufacturing Company first saw the light of day seven years before the turn of the last century. It was founded by Herman W. Oster with a small group of friends in December, 1893, in a small one room workshop on Superior Avenue in Cleveland.

Blenders are used both in home and commercial kitchens for various purposes, including to:

• Grind semi-solid ingredients, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, into smooth purées.
• Blend ice cream, milk, and sweet sauces to make milkshakes.
• Mix and crush ice in cocktails such as the Zombie, piña colada and frozen margarita.

Features which consumers consider when purchasing a blender include the following:

• large visible measurement marks.
• ease of use.
• low noise during usage.
• power usage (typically 300–1000 watts)
• ease of cleaning.
• option for quick "pulse" blending.

Our Verdict. The Oster Pro 1200 is more versatile than the Ninja Professional Blender 1000. The Oster comes with a 48-ounce glass jar and an additional personal jar for single-serve smoothies with a matching to-go lid. It makes a much smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, so it's better for smoothies and soups.

Side-by-Side Comparison They offer fairly similar performances, but the KitchenAid is much sturdier and quieter. However, the Oster comes with a 24-ounce personal jar with a to-go lid in addition to its main jar.

So, did you know that all standard blender bases are the same size as the opening of a regular (not wide-mouth) mason jar? To create your own “Magic Bullet” single-serve blender, all you have to do is unscrew your blender's base/blades/gasket and screw them onto a simple canning jar.

But experts say a glass container - like Wilde's improvised mason jar - is totally fine to use, too. "You actually can pump milk into containers other than the plastic storage bags," Jamil Abdur-Rahman, M.D., a board-certified ob/gyn, tells SELF.
