Siroca (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) will release a renewed version of its heater-equipped blender "Ouchi Chef Blender" (おうちシェフブレンダー) on November 1, 2026. The blender handles both warm and cold menus and uses strong crushing power to finish food smoothly.
Renewed With a Smoother Finish and a Wider Range of Dishes
The Ouchi Chef Blender was created from the idea of making it easy to bring healthy, varied dishes to the table every day. Its unique functions and structure, which finish food at the optimal temperature, from piping-hot soup to chilled smoothies, have been well received, and the blender has won numerous awards from magazines, newspapers and others since its release in 2024.
The proposal of a new way of eating, which is easy to make, provides nutrition from whole ingredients and tastes good, has been widely supported, mainly by health-conscious people. At the same time, users have voiced expectations such as "since I use it every day, I'd like an even smoother texture" and "I'd like to widen the range of dishes." Against the backdrop of rising prices, the need to stay healthy by cooking at home while keeping costs down is also growing rapidly.
For this renewal, Siroca kept the thinking behind the original release while responding to requests for "further smoothness and a bigger repertoire." By revising the cutter shape and the internal structure, the finish is smoother, and the range of dishes now extends from staple foods to desserts. In addition to the two selectable automatic cleaning functions that were already available, a silicone cover for the bottom of the pot is newly included, so the pot can be washed without worrying about water splashing, which makes upkeep easier. The result is an easy-to-use unit that more people, across a wider range of tastes and generations, can use casually.
Key Features
- Piping-hot soup or chilled smoothie: temperature finishing that brings out the flavor
- Greater crushing power for smooth results even with fibrous ingredients and soy milk (New)
- From staple dishes to desserts: a recipe book of 83 recipes widens the range of menus (New)
- A separable glass pot that is easy to use, with even better washability (New)
- A design with safety in mind
1. Piping-Hot Soup or Chilled Smoothie: Temperature Finishing That Brings Out the Flavor
The blender is equipped with a heater, and warm menus such as soup are brought to 90°C or higher. Because it can keep food warm and reheat it as well, you can enjoy warm soup without the effort of moving it to a pot to reheat. Cold menus such as smoothies stay properly cold thanks to a unique insulating structure that does not transmit the motor's heat, together with highly heat-resistant materials. Warm dishes are finished warm and cold dishes are finished cold.
2. Greater Crushing Power for Smooth Results Even With Fibrous Ingredients and Soy Milk (New)
By revising the thickness and shape of the 8-blade cutter, optimizing the blending and heating programs, and changing the structure inside the pot, the blender achieves more powerful crushing. It finely crushes fibrous ingredients such as pineapple and celery as well as hard beans such as soybeans, so smoothies and homemade soy milk have a texture that goes down smoothly. Frozen fruit and frozen vegetables can also be used as they are, without thawing, so the blender can be used for smoothies on busy mornings too.
3. From Staple Dishes to Desserts: A Recipe Book of 83 Recipes Widens the Range of Menus (New)
A recipe book with a wide variety of menus, from staple dishes to desserts, is included so the blender can be used easily every day. New recipes made possible by the improved crushing power have been added, widening the repertoire of dishes further.
It handles staple dishes such as hearty soups with large chunks of ingredients and curry, as well as desserts such as smoothies and pudding that are finished smoothly thanks to the stronger crushing power. It can also be used in a wide range of situations, from preparation to finishing in cooking and sweets-making, such as making dough that requires fine adjustment and whipping fresh cream.
The blender also has 14 automatic menus that take care of the detailed steps. These include "Soup" and "Potage," a "Koji" menu for fermented cooking such as amazake and miso, and an "Okayu" menu for slow-simmered, nourishing rice porridge. They cover a wide range of dishes to suit the season and your physical condition.
Siroca's official recipe page "どんどんふえるレシピ" will also keep adding new recipes, such as recipes using seasonal ingredients and recipes for events and occasions.
Chili con carne soup
Clam chowder with asari clams
Fondant au chocolat / whipped cream
Américaine pasta sauce
Rice-flour bread made from uncooked rice
Three kinds of espuma served with shaved ice
4. A Separable Glass Pot That Is Easy to Use, With Even Better Washability (New)
Because the blender is meant to be used every day, the pot and the body are separable, combining ease of use with ease of washing.
The pot is made of glass so you can see what is happening during cooking. It is hard to scratch and resists odor transfer and color staining, so it can be used hygienically.
The "automatic cleaning function," which is handy for pre-washing, offers two cleaning methods depending on how dirty the pot is. A dedicated cleaning brush matched to the shape of the blades is also newly included, making it easier to wash even the back of the blades, where food tends to remain, and improving the ease of detailed cleaning.
In addition, the newly included silicone cover for the bottom of the pot lets you wash it without worrying about water splashing, so it can be used more casually.
5. A Design With Safety in Mind
Because the product is meant to be used in everyday cooking, it is also designed for safe use. A dual safety design prevents malfunction: the blender does not operate even if a button is pressed when the pot is not on the body or when the lid is not closed properly.
Who It Suits and How to Use It
The Ouchi Chef Blender makes nutritious menus easily, whether warm or cold. The following menus, which address the "food" concerns of each generation and support healthy daily life, are introduced.
Working-Age and Child-Rearing Generations Who Want to Prepare Nutritious Meals Easily on Busy Days
Busy with work, housework and childcare, eating habits can easily slip, but especially for children, parents want to serve nutritious meals.
From healthy staple dishes made with whole ingredients to snacks that children can enjoy together, the blender helps balance nutrition that tends to become lopsided even on busy days, and it greatly widens the repertoire of daily menus.
Examples of recommended menus:
Butter chicken curry
Pumpkin potage made with the skin and all
Ice cream
Parents Just Starting Out Who Want to Make Safe Meals, Such as Baby Food, for Young Children
A strong ally for parents of infants and toddlers who want to give their children safe, homemade meals. It makes smooth vegetable paste as well as gobu-gayu (五分粥, a thin rice porridge), so it is well suited to the labor-intensive task of preparing baby food. By adjusting the finish with the Manual function, which blends for a specified time, and the Flash function, which blends while the button is held down, you can also easily make different textures to suit a child's chewing ability and stage of growth.
Examples of recommended menus:
Vegetable paste
Rice porridge
Sweet potato potage with a buttery aroma
Seniors Looking After Their Bodies Who Want to Manage Their Health According to Their Age and Prepare Food That Is Easy to Eat
Also recommended for seniors who want to be mindful of daily health maintenance and a healthy diet, and for people involved in caregiving. Turning vegetables into soups or potages makes it possible to eat more of them at once than when eating them raw. Using plenty of fiber-rich vegetables makes it easy to balance daily nutrition. Because ingredients are finished whole into a smooth soup, even hard ingredients are reduced in volume, so people whose chewing strength is weakening can eat a good amount without strain.
Examples of recommended menus:
Whole soy milk
Soft food
Curry potage made with leftover vegetables
Beauty- and Health-Conscious People
For people who are beauty- and health-conscious and want to be healthy and beautiful by taking care of themselves from the inside. Soy milk and smoothies containing protein and vitamins are easy to make. It is also simple to practice "chokatsu" (gut health care) with fermented foods such as yogurt and amazake, and to bring "yakuzen" (medicinal cooking) into daily meals, supporting beauty from the inside.
Examples of recommended menus:
Plant-based milk (almond, cashew, oat)
Amazake
Pineapple, celery and coconut milk smoothie
