Abstract
A blending system includes a container and a tamper. The container includes a lid. The tamper may be inserted into the container through an aperture of the lid. The tamper extends towards but does not touch a blade assembly. The tamper is positionable in a vertical position and an angled position. The tamper includes a stop that prevents the tamper from touching the blade assembly in the first position. Another stop prevents the tamper from touching the blade in a second position. The tamper may reach toward the edges of the container in an angled position to manipulate foodstuffs.
