Me too….. Loved every minute of it!

You burned it out because you stayed in too low of a speed for too long. Try to crank it up to 10 for the nut butters. It’s better for the motor and works way better. Just a tip. Great job though on the creamy consistency

That might be right. The "official" Vitamix recipe book says "Start the blender on speed 1 and slowly increase to speed 10. Blend on 10 for 2-3 minutes, using the tamper to push the ingredients towards the blades if necessary, until you get a thick, liquid cream". That's instructions for hazelnut butter but I guess it should be similar for peanuts as well, although peanuts are a bit harder.

I use store bought dry roasted unsalted peanuts to make my peanut butter. I put about 16 oz of those peanuts in the microwave for a couple minutes to get them heated up a bit before putting them in the blender so I don't have to run them as long in the blender to heat them up. I like my peanut butter to just be peanuts - no salt, no sugar, just peanuts. I've got a Vitamix 5200 that is a few years old, and I've never "burned up the motor" even when making a couple batches of peanut butter.

I panicked the first time my vitamix overheated and conked out on me. I called the 1-800 number and the wonderful customer service woman helped me out. She explained that vitamix blenders are the most efficient and easiest on the motors when run at the highest speed setting. She said to try to get up to full speed as soon as possible and stay there. (This will eventually heat the ingredients so be aware) She said she wished this was clear in the operating manual but unfortunately it is not.

@@Cook-Culture Same. Ive started trying to make almond butter with my new Vitamix (one of the cheaper all manual models) and i kept smelling a slight burning motor type of smell and the Vitamix would turn off on me and not restart. Plus my almond butter never got creamy - was just kind of gritty. I guess I just need to have more faith that the Vitamix can take a bit of a beating and just push through my fears of breaking the thing. lol Thanks so much for the video!

That’s awesome I’ve never gone that creamy before! I just wanna throw my two cents out there, I don’t get the overheating thing when I crank it up to high speed. I have an ascent too

There was a lot of friction in the blender, that’s why the motor had to work harder. I’ve always just done it it intervals anyways to keep the peanut butter form overheating. Idk if it actually makes a difference in flavor and nutrition

I just made pecan butter. I do 2lb bags per batch. Roast em. Flip in 1 stick butter, salt while hot, flip again, salt if needed then back on the pan to cool completely. Then I put half the batch in blender. Let the nuts drop in volume. Add the other half and blend till smooth. I use the 1 speed. It’s slower but I don’t have any issues.

I would have liked to see how you got it out

I started making my own but need a high power mixer. Thanks for the tips! Between a great peanut butter cookie recipe and a great whole wheat bread recipe I now have more excuses to make peanut butter. Besides, everything is getting so expensive. Any tips on the model???

58 comments and no thumbs up??? I got you. Good job!

Why won't it separate like other natural peanut butters? Just curious, thanks for the video.

4:15 [me]: *freaks out* [prensenter]: Don't freak out [me]: Oh, OK then :) Helpful video, thank you. I'd be scared to put the machine through such abuse lol but it does look like it can handle it. Good to see it's not actually breaking the machine or anything. Turned out really nice and creamy 🤩

I never tried blending that long. I just add a few drops of peanut oil and it goes creamy very quickly. No need to have a mega-powerful blender (that you still have to put in the freezer when it gets too hot??)

I love my Vitamix but this is a lot easier using my food processor (I make peanut butter every couple of weeks).

Yep, blenders are designed for wet ingredients, food processors for dry… then you can adapt but you pay the consequences. The best would be a Robot Coup food processors/blitzer, check on youtube, they made nut butters in seconds, but they cost a pretty penny.

If you add a little peanut oil you could save the trouble of waiting for the blender to heat the nuts and likely get lower fat oxidation while achieving the same creaminess. Lube is always a good idea.

You can’t run it on low as long as he did because it WILL stall. Start low for maybe 15 seconds and ramp up to high. High speed cools the motor. The Vitamix site has instructions…. “Directions Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid. Run the Dips & Spreads Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades. For a creamy peanut butter blend for a total of 2 minutes.”
