Vitamix 8 oz. Blending Bowl - 2 Pack

When I first got my Vitamix with the 64 oz container, I made various nut butters a few times and while they aren't hard to make, getting them out was the worst and it felt so much was wasted under the blades. I got the bowls (and the under-blade scraper) so it finally feels like making fresh nut butter is no long more trouble than it's worth. The self-detect can be a bit of a bother. I have had ok luck in lining up the arrows on the cup and the base before threading and try to end with the arrows lined up after threading the base on. Sometimes, if I fail a couple of times, I have to unplug the blender base before it will read ANY container. I am using these with the V1200.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I adore these little cups. The longer I have them the more useful I find them. But there biggest winners for me are coffee grinding (yes, I know coffee purists will find that abominable, but it works fine for me), salad dressings, spreads, and the biggest wonder-scrambled eggs/omelets. 2 tablespoons of salted butter, 3 large eggs, salt/pepper/garlic powder to taste, splash of heavy cream or half and half, and a quick whir in there blender and I've got perfect incorporated egg batter ready for coming. Personally I prefer sous vide for the cook but it's great no matter how you do it.

I am a home gardener. Making things from what I grow is important to me. I like having the small bowls accessories to chop up herbs and spices for dips. Nuts for nut butters. No more dips with MSG when I am making them myself. Just natural ingredients. The possibilities are endless with all the Vitamix blender attachments have to offer. My husband spends a lot of money on tools to fix and keep our home in good repair. He supports my endeavors to have the right tools for the kitchen. He's very impressed with all I have done thus far with the Vitamix blender and attachments.
