I recently purchased the Vitamix creations 48 oz, which is fabulous but I have a question. The recipes and DVD always instruct you to start out on variable speed 1 and then increase to speed 10 and then switch to high. I can understand doing this with hot liquids of course, but they never do it this way in the tv demos, and the most recent TSV doesn't even have variable speeds. (I am glad I got the variable speeds however, thanks to a poster here). So, do you start your smoothies, etc in stages per the recipes or go right to the highest option?
