Consistent Quality Program settings deliver results customers can rely on with every order, at every location, so they're happy and your brand is protected. There is no miniature oven inside nor does it have a switch to activate any heating element. Vitamix heats using friction heat. Imagine if you could run your hands together times a second how hot they would get… well the same principal is happening on the blades.

The blades are spinning at over times seconds which creates friction energy that will boil cold water in 8 minutes. The temperature will increase by 10 degrees every minute.

This is the time to add in that you should never have to sharpen your blades as Vitamix blades are already blunt. Blunt blades plus a powerful motor is what sets Vitamix apart from other blenders. The only time you need to ever remove your blades is if you have accidentally damaged them by leaving a metal spoon or similar inside your container.

When making soup all you need to do is add in your raw ingredients and blend on HIGH speed for about minutes. If you are wanting to add any meats to your soup you must cook them separately and then add them to your soup.

We also recommend cooking vegetables like potatoes as these are not recommended to be eaten raw. Read more about the dangers of raw potatoes HERE. It is also handy to note that as you are not really cooking the vegetables, they are more being heated up which means you retain the nutrients. This is why raw foodists love Vitamix Blenders.

A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that if you are wanting to keep most of your live food enzymes intact only blend your soup for around minutes. The Vitamix will heat up around 10 degrees every minute. The optimal food temperature for Raw Foodists is around 40 degrees Celsius. Any higher and you will begin to destroy precious enzymes.

Have you ever experienced a blender blowout? That was twelve years ago, and our Vitamix is still going strong. I cannot think of a single appliance I use more! It is a commercial-grade blender built to withstand the test of time.

The Vitamix is intuitive to use, but here are a few tips and tricks to enhance your overall experience. Improperly loading your Vitamix container is a rookie mistake, but it has a huge impact on the outcome of your recipe.

Confession: I did it wrong for a really long time! Not only does layering ingredients in the proper order guarantee the smoothest results, it prevents the motor from stalling out. Always load the container with liquids first! This prevents air pockets from forming around the blades.

The weight of the frozen ingredients on top helps push the ingredients into the blades for a better blend. For the personal ounce containers, load the opposite way, since the container will be flipped onto the base. Always start at the lowest setting, then quickly increase the speed to high. The Vitamix tamper plays such a critical role in the success of a recipe, yet many people simply toss it aside, or worse, discard it. When you are blending thick items, such as smoothies and nut butters, the tamper continuously circulates the ingredients to keep air pockets from forming at the base.

Be sure to push down along the four corners of the machine to really keep things moving. Never cut a Vitamix-specific recipe in half. The container needs a minimum quantity of ingredients for the blades to do their job properly, or else the ingredients will just sputter around the bottom.
