My old one is rather deficient in shaping skills! LOL!! Enjoy!!!! Yes, I too am interested in how well the loaves were shaped to resemble "regular" store bought bread.

I put them in a food storage bag and then in a Ziploc freezer bag. Try to squeeze the air out before you seal it. They don't last long in my house, so I don't worry about freezer burn. I buy frozen , strawberries, blueberries, mixed fruit in bags at Aldi's. I don't think canned fruit would freeze well. I will routinely buy no syrup canned peaches and freeze them on a cookie tray. They taste very good in the homemade ice cream in a Blendtec/Vitamix/Ninja/FP.

I leave it in about 10 minutes, bring it out & turn it upsidedown for a while then straight up so it can air dry out. Have not hurt it yet. You also no longer have a warranty if you are honest as you voided it when you first put it in the DW.

Well you are on the right track, but a "drop or two" is not close to enough. Continue Reading In Kitchen & Food Talk 1367523917.127 What is this all about? Why not read your operating instructions and while you are at it read the warranty and then you will have your answer and additionally learn the manufacturer recommended way to disinfect after using raw proteins. Frankly, I cannot understand the very obvious aversion to reading operating instructions but it really seems to be the rule rather than the exception on this board but perhaps it is a sign of the times. As as clue for those that have a 5200 model.. read page 14 in the owners manual and if you do not have it?? go to the VM site and download the .pdf As further ...

For best results, allow frozen fruit to thaw at room temperature 10 minutes before blending. Of couse some of these people also see there is nothing wrong with putting the container in the dishwasher.

I am shocked that even after posting information from the operating instructions put out by Vitamix that there are still people who insist they know more and choose to give bad advice. I cannot imagine spending 500 dollars for an appliance and not reading the operating instructions, but again I was never known for a great imagination... Continue Reading In Kitchen & Food Talk 1367277028.76 Vitamix has a very friendly and helpful customer service staff that are available with a toll free number. I remember many years ago I called them for help on my own "dime" and I still consider that call a good investment. This is assuming of course that you have read the instruction manual and the addition order was not discussed. I do know with Blendtec the ice goes on top and I beieve with any Vitamix smoothie recipe I have seen, the ice goes in last as well. Again call the experts and follow manufacturers instructions.

I don't use the browning feature on my pressure cooker, I'm trying to make the coating last longer. So washing out an extra skillet is worth it to me. Exactly.. I was thinking something was terribly wrong and that is why I suggested instructions. If I was browning pork chops for 15 min, they would be done cooking. I have no idea how the Ninja browns other than it is way slower than the WP versa cooker but I brown in my lightweight cast i... Continue Reading
