I need a new jar for my Blendtec--will this jar work with a non-twister lid? Can you easily make smoothies in it too, or just thick purees?

This jar comes with 2 lids, Laura. The Twister lid is used for making things like nut butters or other thick mixtures that benefit from "stirring" as they blend. This lid isn't water-tight, however, so a second, water-tight lid is included for more liquid things like smoothies and cleaning. The jar is quite a bit smaller than the 4-Sided or Wildside jar, and the blade is smaller as well (16oz/500 ml for the Twister, as compared to 36 oz/1000 mil for the Wildside/4-Side jars). Still, if you are making smaller batches, I can't see any reason why the Twister wouldn't work for smoothies. If I had to pick only one jar and my budget allowed, I would choose the Wildside jar. The blade is bigger than the 4-Side blade, you COULD make nut butters in it (you'd just have to stop and scrap the sides), and since I go through a quart of green smoothie a day, the larger capacity works for me. That being said, the scraper-spatula that comes with the Twister jar is almost worth the price of the jar -- it's one of the best spatulas I've ever used!Hope that helps. As you can tell, I'm a huge fan of Blendtec blenders, and they DON'T pay me to say this, either!

No, the jar glass is made of very strong Co-Polyester plastic.

Can the blade handle blending ice, just as easily as the blade in the Wildside jar? Thank you!

Sorry, I have not tried to do ice. I use mine for making nut butter. It does a verry good job for that and I am pleased with my twister jar.

Does this come with a recipe book?

Yes, it does. Though not as extensive as the one that comes with the Blendtec blender itself, it does have recipes specific to this jar. In fact, we have become positively addicted to the recipe for Soft-Serve Banana Ice Cream around this house, so much so that we always keep a supply of frozen bananas for whenever we want to whip up this great dessert. (16) recipes in the book, color photos, rather nice. I'll post a photo of it on the product page.
