Can I make marzipan with Vitamix 5200c?

I love my Vitamix but have no idea if you can make marzipan using this machine. What I would do is some research using Google or some other Search engine to find out what the ingredients are and then just try to replicate it in the Vitamix. Sorry not to be able to be of more help

I do not know. There is a special container and blade to grind nuts. Go to the Vitamix website for the most accurate information. After investing in this item you do not want to jeopardize your investment through inappropriate use .

it will work with any vitamix. just keep in mind, as with the wet container for the vitamix, some recipes will have to be adjusted because of the size of the container.

Carl, I'm not sure about the model we purchased, because this item didn't fit our nut and had to be returned. Of course Vitamix would want you to purchase from them and you know how they cost. Buying from the outside market is reasonable, but may have some Q.A. issues, which is what I discovered. Good luck.

You can make anything! The consistency is like a slurpee, ver, very fine. It's a great machine!

I did not try- you could take the part # and run a compatibility inquiry - call Vitamix for example.

Our Vitamix is about twenty five years old. It worked fine on this machine. Ours was one of the first on the market.

Vitamix can do a few food processing things Ninja can't from what I understand (I have not owned the Ninja but read up on Consumer Reports before purchasing my Vitamix). Vita can do flours and doughs in the dry grains container attachment and can make hot soup ready to go in it. Other than that if you are just looking for super good blending of smoothies, drinks or making some nut butters and hummus (or the like)...the Ninja seems to be a good deal for a low price. That being said, I love the vitamix and it's been around longer and known for it's longevity if used properly. The Ninja is new to the market so reliability has yet to be seen.

I have the Vitamix 5200. I wouldn't buy anything else. It is the absolute best on the market. I'm not sure what the difference is between the 5200 and the 5300. I recommend you research that carefully and fully as I did prior to purchasing the 5200.

I believe this dry container is supposed to work with all of the modern vitamix models but you might want to contact the nice folks at vitamix just to make sure. I bought the mini tamper for the 32 oz. container and feel that it does a FAR better job grinding with the help of the tamper than without. I've only ground both coffee beans for my expresso pot and wheat berries for my bread machine so far but have been VERY pleased with the results:) Fresh ground flour tastes better than ANYTHING you can purchase from the local healthfood or specialty gourmet store. The only two drawbacks I've found with this container so far are: 1 - the noise, ( pretty BAD! Cover your ears when grinding!). 2 - Get your kitchen timer running when you flip the switch because grinding for OVER 2 min. will make the flour compact and damage your motor! (there's a bright blue paper in the container's box warning you about this). Other than that, getting this container and the smaller tamper would be fantastic for anyone who has a vitamix and wants to expand upon it's capabilities..

This tamper is designed to fit the tall narrow bottomed 64 oz. container. The 5200 is available with the tall 64 oz. container or with the shorter 48 oz. container. If your Vitamix has the tall 64 oz. container, this is the correct tamper for that container.

I have a VitaMix 5200, so I don't know, but when I broke my lid I contacted VitaMix directly via e-mail and they sent me a replacement for free. They have great customer service and respond promptly.

There is a recipe in their cookbook for one that uses a box mix. I haven't tried it yet.

Yes you can and Ziplock has a recipe page http://www.ziploc.com/Recipes/Pages/default.aspx that you can go to for ideas on how to cook with mixed ingredients.

I have both a 5000 (the predecessor to the 5200) and a Pro 750 (like the 300, but with the addition of 5 presets). The 300 is a Next Generation Vitamix as are the 7500 and the Pro 750. These machines come equipped with a low profile, wide bottom, 64 oz. container with a 4 inch blade, which is far more efficient than the standard tall and narrow 64 oz. container with a 3 inch blade that's used with earlier models. The wider bottom makes it much easier to remove heavy and/or sticky contents from the container, and the 4 inch blade makes quick work of everything. It's not really that the newer models don't handle small quantities well, it that the new container with the wider bottom requires more volume to cover the blades. Therefore, batches under two cups are best processed in a smaller container. I have a 32 ounce container that I originally bought to use with my 5000 when I needed to make a small batch of something, like salad dressing for example. I find it's also the perfect container to use for making small batches with my Pro 750. In my opinion, the Next Generation series of machines are far superior to previous models.

Here's a nice comparison for those thinking about getting this or a Vitamix. I found it useful.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI0PEviX0qg

It does work. The flour is not as fine as I would like it. It produces a lot of flour dust in the air. I covered the top with a slightly wet dish towel. My blender does just as good. I do not have a "Vitamix". That was recommended to me. Best Wishes.

Yes Vitamix 5200 can make Nut milks of all sorts. For almond milk you add 1 cup of raw almonds (or cashews to make cashew milk) with 3 cups of water, and add any sweetener to taste if you want to add sweetness. Only takes 2 minutes. The ratios of nuts/seeds to water vary when making other milks like sesame, coconut, soy, and rice. But it can make all of these and more.
