Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 You have been lucky as they often rock a bit and I usually hold the top which I notice a lot of others doing. The mouse pad may help it keep from rocking around. A nice silicone pad may do the same, too. Glad you have had no problem with that for 30 years. You are probably very careful to get that lid on tight.

When I make soup, I wander out of the room, often going to take my shower, while the soup cooks, so I don't have to hear it. Probably not the SMARTEST thing to do, but never had an issue in 30 years. In fact, the only time I HAVE " scattered " ingredients from the Vitamix is when I WAS standing right over it, lol. > > It is mouth watering just to see all these exchange on recipes using > the Vitamix.
