Just burned my hand doing this , so I came here
Planning on making soup tonight and I winced just LOOKING at the lid pop off. Thank the gods we've got folks like you watching out for us idiots XD
So, not 75% full. Would have saved me two hours of kitchen cleaning and the nasty burn on my forehead that is still healing.
👍
If only I had thought to watch this BEFORE I cleaned up a gigantic mess from this exact problem 😑
I'm here cause it just happened to me lol
I have a Vitamix since 1994 and never had a problem here.
With most blenders being plastic, and gaskets being rubber: I'd think this to be common sense or something you can garner from blender instructions. Not everyone has an immersion blender, but if you're into making soup with a blender: you should.
My flatmate just got first degree burns from putting hot soup in a blender D:
i have a kitchenaid immersion blender and i like it.
because maybe some people already have a blender and not a lot of disposable income to buy an immersion blender? or they just prefer to use a blender? could those be valid reasons why?
I'd hit it.
hahha. big hot mess.
