I made a vegan mayonnaise while working on my Aer Disc review, and it came together so easily in a standard Vitamix container that I figured I should write a separate post. To make it more interesting, here is a vegan aioli recipe. (I just added garlic to the vegan mayo recipe, and it worked perfectly.) Continue Reading →
Here’s my review of the Vitamix Aer Disc Container. Instead of blades, it uses a disc with holes in it, which makes it less aggressive. They named it Aer for aeration, referring to its ability to whip up foams. It can also extract flavor from ingredients for drinks, and emulsify sauces and dressings. It works on all full size (non S-Series) models, so that includes everything from the classic 5000 up to the latest Ascent models. As usual, if you order via my link, you get free shipping, and Joy of Blending gets a commission. Continue Reading →

I’ve been testing out a Vitamix V1200 to write this review. As expected, it delivers the high quality results that Vitamix has built its reputation on. If you’ve been shopping around for a Vitamix, you’ve probably noticed that they make many different models. The first thing to know is that all of the full-size machines offer the same blending performance. (The only non-full size models are the S30, S50, and S55.) The differences are in features, aesthetics, and the containers they come with. Continue Reading →
Vitamix has updated their free app for iOS and Android, so that it now communicates with Ascent Series blenders via Bluetooth. The photo to the right shows the display of an A3500 receiving a blending program from the app. Continue Reading →
There’s something glorious about a whole roasted cauliflower. And it goes so well with this garlicky, minty sauce. I can’t recommend this combination highly enough. Continue Reading →
