   I’ve just made that recipe and my Vitamix smells like it’s burning. The smells come from between the base and the container, like where it turns… Is it normal?? (it’s on speed 10) I use to do nuts butters in my food processor, but I’ve decided to try in my new Vitamix. It’s 2 weeks old… Thank you & love your recipes by the way. They are great.

      Hi there, that smell can be scary! But there’s usually nothing to worry about. New machines often have that burning smell the first few times you use them. Your Vitamix should easily be able to handle this recipe, remember that it will turn itself off before overheating. You’re doing it correctly by having it on variable speed 10, that’s what engages the fan. Just make sure you are holding the lid with your non-tamper hand instead of the handle so you don’t strip the gears.
