FYI there are 3 different types of adhesives used in packing tape.

I ordered a certified refurbished Vitamix from Amazon today. I read that they replace the pitcher with a brand new one, but the blades may or may not be brand new. They claim that if the blade is not new they sterilize it at high temperatures.

Would the blades need to be kashered? If so would it be hagala or libun? The blades get very hot when running the machine due to friction.

It used to be the only problem was pas palter/ pas akum. Nowadays there are many non kosher additives that can potentially be in the bread....

you're depending on the bottling plant. which is ok in USA and elsewhere, but in Asia I would double check with someone knowledgeable.
