Blender/Smoothie Maker- base is stuck? I was given a smoothie maker that was used once. No idea how long it has sat dormant. Now, in trying to get it apart, the base of the plastic pitcher, will not come off. This is the blade assembly that unscrews. It seems just stuck. I see no old food or anything hindering the removal. I have spent the better part of the morning trying to get this unstuck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Again, all pieces involved are plastic. Thanks for the help - the family wants smoothies!!!
