I've bought a lot of the other very expensive blenders and have found for various reasons that I didn't like them as well as just the I think I think the Vitamix is the standard by which all other blenders are measured for me the Vitamix is great

I'm a fan of the Vitamix blender I highly recommend the Vitamix blender if you have to choose which blender you're going to buy next I recommend the Vitamix blender and if you ever want to say that I sent you to buy your Vitamix blender you get a special price that's cool too

it's well worth trying the immersion blender because it will do it will do quantities that are essentially too small for a powerful blender like of Vitamix to even bother with I mean you put in small quantities and it ends up below the blades you can't even do it in a Vitamix and yet in an immersion blender you…

I take the Vitamix and sometimes the food piles up on itself it gets wedged it gets lodged and yes there's a pushing tool that you can use use to help but sometimes I have to just take the Vitamix off of its stand off its base and tap it tap the bottom of it onto the tabletop bang bang bang put it back on everything's…

although it's incredibly efficient at blending the Vitamix blender definitely pulls air into your food and and it aerates it which means that some of the oxygen sensitive nutrients are affected now if you eat the food right away we're really not talking about any issue at all because even chewing has that same effect…

if you take a glass of each Vitamix blend bananas and water immersion blend bananas and water same quantities of both pour them both into a cup and then or a clear glass and check them again in 30 minutes and check them again in an hour the immersion blender drink will be basically the same color as it was when you…

I like to put things in the vitam mix in order to start with Frozen things and make something close to the texture of ice cream I mean it is very creamy if you start with bananas but if you start with mangoes or peaches you're going to come up with something that is more of a sorbet it's an icier texture

I enjoy putting vegetables in the blender and leaving the blender on high for a whole minute until it warms up close to body temperature at which point I can have a warm soup and enjoy that very much

for almost everything 801010 all you really ever need is just water now if water doesn't clean the Vitamix really well what I'll do is I'll fill the Vitamix half full with water and then put the top on put it on the base and turn it on with just water and mixing that water at high speed it just it just cleans it like…

if you put water in a Vitamix blender turn it on to high speed and walk away in a few minutes that water will be boiling hot and so you can actually boil clean the inside of your Vitamix

it just cleans it like crazy now you know if you put water in a blender or certainly in a Vitamix blender if you put water in a Vitamix blender turn it on to high speed and walk away in a few minutes that water will be boiling hot and so you can actually boil clean the inside of your Vitamix

Pretty versatile piece of equipment, but this is where we're making all of our quite often we make dressings in these just cuz it's quicker and easier just to batch it up, blend them, pour them out.

I'm particularly fond of an immersion blender because it doesn't create the cavitation that down flux of air into the food you're drinking so it doesn't oxidize the food and it doesn't leave it full of full of air if you don't want it full of air sometimes there's things that you want to make lighter and fluffier…

the nice thing about immersion blenders is they come in different sizes at our events we have an immersion blender large enough so that we can blend 10 gallons of soup all at one time and it does a great job 10 gallons that's a big pot there are even bigger ones than that and smaller ones in gradations all the way…
