Re: Cleaning Peanut Butter left in Container

[Guest guest]

I have about ten of those spatulas. I have white ones. I cook with them. Last week I made three dozen 8 inch crepes. I lift the edge of the crepe with the spatula and if the crepe looks right I flip it over. I use them for everything. They are the best. They withstand temps up to 600 degrees.TerrySent from my iPadOn Mar 11, 2012, at 11:22 AM, beachbums <BeachBumsLandD@...> wrote:

NO one has mentioned it, so I thought I would bring it up, as we have

talked about it before. Make the nut butter first in the VM, using the

nuts you want to use in your "ice cream" then take out most of the nut

butter, but not worrying about the corners and crevices, and put the

rest of the ingredients for the Ice Cream in the container in and VM

until it is done, Eat the ice cream and the sticky nut butter is mixed

with the ice cream, instead of stuck in the corners. The ice cream

"cleans" the container so it can be cleaned much easier with soap and

water after done with dessert.

Okay, it's a preset. But can anyone translate that into what I would need to do

if I don't have the presets? My vitamix has a dial and a high and low switch,

so there are a lot of possibilities ....

Thank you! That's what I wanted to know.

Aloha,

My vitamix is a commercial model that I bought at a restaurant supply store, so

it didn't come with the regular whole foods recipes cookbook that it seems most

y'alls came with. I have had my vitamix for four years. Although I don't use it

everyday, I am comfortable with it. I just wanted to know what a soup cycle is.

Just wondering, since I'm not a gadget person, if it is just high until hot, why

bother with a preset? Why not just put it on high? Is there an advantage to it?

When I was taught how to cook I was taught to always keep a hand over the top of

the blender (with a towel), so not only can I not leave the room, i can't leave

the machine. does anyone else do this? Or am I hopelessly old fashioned?

I hadn't thought to look at vitamix.com for recipes. Good suggestion!

Thanks!

I also feel more comfortable with my hand on the top. Maybe once I get used to

it, I will feel ok not keeping my hand on it but I don't know that I'd ever be

ok to walk away and leave it.
