I agree about the BPH container, I too wish it were glass. That being said, when I begin to make soups, I will not pour hot water in it. If it isn't hot enough after the 6 minute run, then I will microwave the soup.

I just got some cantaloupe and am going to make a sorbet. The guy at Costco demonstrating it put cabbage in the sorbet (a great way to reduce colon cancer!). Just a small piece. And he only added a bit of honey, no a boat load of sugar like most sorbets.
