| Oct 5, 2010 at 18:48 | comment | added | yossarian | @Kev, bummer. Mine has a perfectly smooth ramp up and a very slow starting speed. Of course, it was an expensive model from a cooking store, so you get what you (overpay) for. | |
| Oct 5, 2010 at 18:17 | comment | added | Kev | @yossarian, it didn't seem to make a difference when I tried just now, since it rapidly pulsates: the power level is going 0,1,0,1,0,1 and then you switch to medium and it's 0,2,0,2,0,2, so you still have the jumps from 0 to 2 (or 0 to 3 on high) no matter what you start with, and that's when it leaks. | |

added speed tip

| Oct 5, 2010 at 17:41 | comment | added | yossarian | @kev, Chris is absolutely right! Start it slow and then increase to high. That will greatly decrease the amount of splash you get (which is why you need a lid). | |
| Oct 5, 2010 at 17:38 | comment | added | Kev | @yossarian, it's not even a quarter full. @Chris, admittedly, I am testing on the high setting, but that's so I know it will always work... | |
| Oct 5, 2010 at 17:22 | comment | added | Chris | Yea, I use my blender without a lid pretty regularly. If you start it slow and do not overfill it, nothing is going to spill out. | |
| Oct 5, 2010 at 17:00 | comment | added | yossarian | @Kev, how much stuff are you putting in the blender? You may just need to do smaller batches. | |
| Oct 5, 2010 at 16:43 | comment | added | Kev | Towel didn't help. I even tried one of those thick elastic bands you get with broccoli at the store, and after the first few seconds it leaked through the wrap nonetheless. Thanks anyway, though. | |
| Oct 5, 2010 at 16:38 | comment | added | Kev | Mmm, yeah, I forgot to mention I had already tried plastic wrap. It leaked. I'll try with a towel, though... | |
