Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 Hi all- In addition does anyone have an opinion as to how long or to what temp the shea butter & wax should be heated to prevent the bar being grainy?

Ready-made KT and distilled vinegar are both acidic. The culture likes that.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I watched a Vitamix demo on QVC today. It was of the Vitamix with the shorter container, a newer configuration than mine. They showed the new cookbook and mentioned that in it there were 24 recipes written by famous chefs like Batali. I have the older cookbook but am interested in these famous chef recipes. I didn't see them on the vitamix.com website. Are they available anywhere? Thanks much, Sherry in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
