As I was flipping through my vintage Versatile Vita-Mix cookbook (this is the one we had growing up ... I had to have it and found a used copy online), I thought it would be fun to compile a list of things one can do with a Vitamix, and even a list of tools the Vitamix could replace in the kitchen. The Vitamix has a two-horsepower engine, and the blades travel at a speed of 400 revolutions per second. This means that food in the blender, being hit with the four blades, is chopped 1600 times per second!
