Exciting news! Ninja has secured the trademark for “Ninja FREEZi.” While details are forthcoming, let’s speculate on what this new product could possibly be:
The timing of the FREEZi trademark registration coincides with the trademark registration of “Ninja SLUSHi”. The SLUSHi alludes to semi-frozen beverages, while the FREEZi hints at something more intensely frozen.
One exciting possibility is a home version of a blast chiller.
A blast chiller is a powerful and pricey piece of equipment commonly found in commercial kitchens. Its primary function is to rapidly lower the temperature of food, beverages, or other culinary creations to a safe storage or serving temperature. This rapid chilling process helps maintain the quality, freshness, and safety of food by quickly reducing its core temperature, minimizing the risk of bacterial growth and food spoilage.
Ninja has a track record of adapting commercial kitchen equipment for home use, as seen with the Ninja CREAMi. The CREAMi bears a striking resemblance to the PacoJet, a high-end commercial ice cream maker known for its exceptional performance. The Ninja CREAMi operates in much the same way as the PacoJet, offering consumers the opportunity to create high quality delicious frozen treats in their own kitchens.
A mini blast chiller could pair well with the CREAMi, significantly reducing freezing time for treats. Currently, home cooks must wait 24 hours for CREAMi ingredients to freeze fully before processing. Using a blast chiller with the CREAMi would mirror practices in commercial kitchens, where blast chillers are paired with the PacoJet to expedite frozen dessert preparation.
It’s important to note that these musings are speculative. While the Ninja FREEZi could potentially be a blast chiller, it might also surprise us with an entirely different innovation.
