Sometimes you just really need to get out the tamper and force the frozen stuff

down into the blades.

pineapple broken up into fairly large pieces and turned the VM on variable as I

always have and then over to high...left it on for enough time to get a glass

and turned it off and poured it into the glass only to discover that for the

most part the blades have dances around the frozen pineapple ...so I added a few

pieces of ice and turned it back on variable (lower speeds) and let it chop a

bit before putting it on high...did a better job but it didn't obliterate it as

it normally does...any idea what is happening here?

and you know that's so funny because I keep the tamper right beside the machine and I pick that tamper up everytime I wipe the counter tops and I usually have to rinse it off because dust gathers on it...HA! I will give that a try...I just wondered why now after all these years that this would happen...Thanks for the tipJaneOn Jun 3, 2012, at 9:48 AM, flnancy1958 wrote:
