Blender temperatures

[SevenKindsOfCookie]

When making nut creams and such I always have to use ice or let the blender rest every now and then because it gets too warm otherwise.
Today when I made a cheese sauce I decided to check the temperature and found that it was about 113°F (45°C).
It worries me that it can easily reach those temperatures.

Do you have any tips how to prevent this besides using ice and cool liquids?

I was thinking that there might be some kind of "cooling blanket" or something on the market that you could wrap around the blender jug. Anyone know of such a product?

A tip for Vitamix and Blendtech would be to make an accessory that you put between the motor and the jug that works similar to the cooling disc of an ice cream maker. It would be an easy solution. Probably too expensive though.

it's the direct metal connections, not sure if a cooling devise would work.

I've heard some people freeze the nuts beforehand....

I put the jug into the fridge for a while till it cools down and try again....

But yeah - we must be vigilant.

I think the vita/blend people aught to put a thermometer on the blade that read outside the container so you don't have to keep stopping and sticking your finger in to feel the blade!
