Vitamix blenders have too much power to ever blend in . They have been kitchen stand-outs for decades
W
ith power comes opportunity . We speak not of politics but blenders . A ‘ normal ’ blender can end up living in the cupboard and only getting taken out on special occasions like for a once-a-year cocktail . But if you upgrade to a professional quality model made by Vitamix , the extra power means it can do the work of multiple kitchen appliances and opens up a whole world of delicious home made food and drink . Before you know it , you ’ re using it every day .
Vitamix have always been passionate about pulverising fruit and veg . They have been making blenders since 1939 and even in the first ever TV infomercial in 1949 , Vitamix founder William G . ‘ Papa ’ Barnard , evangelised about how their products could help you eat healthier whole foods . Since then their legendary durability and professional performance have seen their machines become the chef ’ s blender of choice . If you hear a blender through the kitchen swing door in restaurants the world over , chances are it ’ s a Vitamix .
It works just as well at home . The cool-running motor spins aircraft-grade stainless steel blades with a torque high enough to homogenise ingredients , releasing flavours while preserving nutritional goodness . Thanks to the shape of the blending container , a controlled vortex is created which folds ingredients back to the blades for faster , smoother blends .
It ’ s not just for smoothies though , as delicious as they are . This power makes for a versatile machine . Variable speeds mean you can adjust the texture of every blend , and chop , grind , purée or juice foods whole . A neat trick is to heat up soups and sauces to steaming hot just through the friction of the blades . Add in dough kneading and flour grinding , food prep , emulsifying sauces and making nut butters , and it comes as a relief to know that the Vitamix can self clean with warm water and a drop of washing-up liquid . With all that use you can see why this could book a permanent space on your worktop .
