Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Lucille, I've seen those spatulas a while ago. The price just seemed so steep to me for what you get. I have a set of Ray spatulas and one of them is that narrow. They are silicon. Enjoy them! I bet they'll be great for getting things like hummus out. You want to be sure to get every drop.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I have the Vitamix spatulas, but I came across a gadget in a kitchen shop the other day that looked like it would be perfect for the Vitamix-and it IS!!! It is called a mayonaise jar scraper-perfect for getting under the blades. Here is a link to show what it looks like-I know nothing about this seller, and I only paid 2.95 for mine in the kitchen store. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mayo-Knife-Spreader-Jar-Scraper-NEW-/270885215188#ht_184\ 2wt_802 > > > > http://www.amazon.com/Vitamix-3-piece-spatula-4-piece-cutting/dp/B001ECLFDO/ref=\ sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid=1326931141 & sr=8-2 > > > > Yesterday I received from Amazon a set of 3 Vitamix spatulas and a set of 4 > > thin flexible cutting boards.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I like mine too and they are the only ones I'll use in my VM.  I have Pampered Chef scrapers that I love but they are soft on the end and always get caught in the VM blades so I don't use them in my VM anymore. RenaIf God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I like the silicon spatulas, only a certain one I like, I think it is an Oxo. At least for the things that I make, I can scrape down the sides and get all the goodies so much easier. Maybe not under the blades, and maybe that would be where the vitamix spatula shines...and if I start making nut butters, maybe I'll think differently!!

Ginny - have you found something that works better for you to get things out of the bottom of the container?  I am always looking for something better!  :-) Blessings,Lea Ann Savage Satellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)www.VitamixLady.com ))><'>www..com<))>< On Jan 19, 2012, at 12:47 PM, Ginny Welton wrote:  I don't like the spatulas, and in fact, if someone were close by, I would give them to them. Glad to hear the cutting boards are good!!

The boards can be bend like a scoop to pour the cut food into the blender. The cost $35.90 including shipping.Lucille--------------------------------------------------From: " kuby2u " <kubymccarty@...>Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 6:15 PM< > Subject: Re: What I had and what I did> Thanks Lea Anne, and Lucille,>> Paydirt: in the loose leaf book thingie that I had for the VM, were both > the original docs and the grain cookbook.>> , funny thing about these lists...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 , WOW, I just ordered this. I just made some almond butter and it took me longer to get out of the container then it did to make the almond butter! That's okay though, it was surely worth it. Thank you so much for all you do to make the Vitamix easier to use. Kuby > > I have the Vitamix spatulas, but I came across a gadget in a kitchen shop the other day that looked like it would be perfect for the Vitamix-and it IS!!! It is called a mayonaise jar scraper-perfect for getting under the blades. Here is a link to show what it looks like-I know nothing about this seller, and I only paid 2.95 for mine in the kitchen store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
