Defrost them before putting them anywhere near the air fryer. Then cook as you would normal chicken pieces.

NO .so why would you in the air fryer. The heat burns off everything so no need to.

Interestingly, I found I actually don't need to sharpen the blades on your Vitamix! They're designed differently than most blender blades.

Vitamix blades are blunt ("hammermill" style) and rely on the machine's powerful motor to pulverize ingredients instead of slicing them. This design means they stay sharp for a very long time.

If you feel like your blends aren't quite as smooth as they used to be, there's a good chance it's not a dull blade. It could be something else with the machine. Instead of sharpening, I'd recommend contacting Vitamix customer service https://www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/customer-service/contact-us. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and get your Vitamix blending like new again.

 

But for me I am type of person who wants to do everything by myself so heres what i did to sharpen my Vitamix blades, I followed these steps:

  1. Unplug the Blender: Safety first.
  2. Remove the Blades: I took off the container and unscrewed the blade assembly.
  3. Clean the Blades: I washed them with warm, soapy water.
  4. Sharpen the Blades: Using a diamond-coated sharpening tool, I carefully sharpened each blade at a 20-degree angle.
  5. Reassemble and Test: After rinsing and drying the blades, I reassembled them and did a test run with water and dish soap.

By doing this, my Vitamix blades were sharp and ready for use.

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

1. **Electrical Circuits:**
- An electrical circuit is a closed loop that allows electrical current flow. It consists of a power source (such as a battery or generator), wires to carry the current, and components (like appliances) that use the current to perform work.
- There are two main types of electrical circuits:
- **Series Circuits:** Components are connected end-to-end, forming a single pathway for the current. If one component fails, the circuit breaks.
- **Parallel Circuits:** Components are connected, forming multiple pathways for the current. Parallel circuits are more common in household wiring.

2. **Dishwasher and Garbage Disposal:**
- Both appliances require significant electrical power.
- It's generally safe to have them on the same circuit as long as the load (total power consumption) remains within acceptable limits.
- Dishwashers typically require a 15-amp circuit breaker, while garbage disposals need a 20-amp breaker.

3. **Considerations:**
- **Load:** Ensure that the combined load of the dishwasher and garbage disposal does not exceed 80% of the circuit's capacity.
- **Circuit Breaker:** Use the appropriate circuit breaker to protect against electrical issues.
- **Wiring:** Properly wired circuits are crucial for safety. If you're unsure, consult a professional electrician.

4. **Tips for Safe Use:**
- **General Safety Tips:**
- Regularly inspect wiring and connections.
- Avoid overloading the circuit.
- Keep appliances in good working condition.
- **Maintenance Tips:**
- Clean the garbage disposal regularly.
- Check for leaks or blockages.
- Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the dishwasher.
- **Troubleshooting Common Issues:**
- If you experience problems, consult a professional electrician.

Remember that safety comes first. If you have any doubts or encounter issues, it's best to seek professional help. A licensed electrician can assess your specific situation and provide tailored advice. Thats it from my experience, i am running both on same circuit :D
