Guest guest Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Without my Vitamix? I did the unthinkable this morning. I had my green smoothie almost done, tasted it using the tamper, but there was still a chunk of pineapple still in the container. I grabbed my tamper, stuck it down the top, except the lid was already off. Needless to say, I had to throw that yummy smothie away. I immediately called CS to order a replacement and it won't get here until late next week Yikes!! What can I make that doesn't require using a tamper? I am so upset.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Been there, done that. I am BAD for often leaving the lid off and poking stuff with a spatula, lol. Worry not though! You can get by without the tamper by just adding more liquid and blending a little longer. If you need your smoothies really thick, just drop in extra fruits or veggies through the top hole once the mix gets going well. Oh, and don't follow my example about leaving the lid off, lol.From: barbara.brown111 <barbara.brown11@...>Subject: What am I going to do...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 You can do it...just takes a little more patience and a little more liquid. Have fun getting creative ;-)~DavinnaOn Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 12:12 AM, barbara.brown111 <barbara.brown11@...> wrote: Without my Vitamix? I did the unthinkable this morning.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Cut pieces up small enough so they get in the corners. Use the handle of a wooden spoon. Measure the depth first so you don't stick it in too far. Of course with a spoon you won't have a mess just some extra fiber. Tony Re: What am I going to do...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Everyone does this at least once…Just cut your fruit up into smaller pieces. You might have to stop and stir a few times. I had the same thing happen to me when I pushed the big tamper through the hole in the 32 oz. container.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I did it once with my 4000 but just got a few chunks of wood. I never did it again. Re: What am I going to do...
