My unit arrived today and having made my first batch, I have some questions. My stuff separated even though I zapped it 4 times with the cleaner,and not the 3 recommended. I figure it was the lecithin. It is Lewis Labs, but it has natural coconut and pineapple flavorings added. Do you guys think that made the difference? Also, I warmed the cup of water a bit in order to get the lecithin to dissolve faster. Was that a mistake? I am using distilled water so that should be ok. Do you think the speed of stirring makes a diff? I just kinda moved the straw around -not at a snail's pace, but not rapidly. Maybe I should just put it back in the machine and zap it some more?? Thanks for any ideas. This could really be a great thing for us. Thanks again Mr. B !! pj
