Answers: What are the best tips and tricks for using a Vitamix blender?

• blender speed settings
• using the Vitamix tamper
• wet vs dry Vitamix containers
• cleaning a Vitamix container
• removing cloudy residue from blender containers

What it concludes

• Always load liquids closest to the blades, followed by soft items, and hard or frozen items on top.
• Quickly increasing the blender speed to high prevents the motor from overheating when blending thick items like nut butters.
• Press the tamper down toward the four corners of the container when blending thick items, and never fill the container more than two-thirds full when using it.
• Vitamix blenders require a minimum amount of ingredients for the blades to function properly, such as four cups of almonds for almond butter.
• Wet containers create super smooth textures with a vortex while dry containers keep things more granular with a reverse vortex.
• Soaking a cloudy container in half warm water and one cup of white vinegar for several hours or overnight removes film caused by hard water or spices.
