Tips and Tricks / How do you clean under the blade?
« on: September 13, 2008, 11:48:10 pm »
we don't tend to pull our tmx apart everytime we clean it / wash it up and i'm disgusted at the grime that is under the blade  :-\ i've tried using all the scrubbing brushes we have plus an old toothbrush but nothing gets under there  :'( YUK!

so what do you use to keep that bit clean?

members' comments{/b]

JD -  was pretty pleased with it.  Only did half the recipe for the 2 of us and still enough to take around to Mum. I used some chicken mince I had this time but next time (because DH asked is there any meat in here) I will use chicken thighs and keep them chunky. Nice one Karen, will certainly have these on the menu again in summer - they were nice with a tossed salad.

Babymaker -  DH gave them 5/5 requested again, next time I think I will keep the chicken a bit more chunky too JudyDawn. I only did a half batch of the EDC crepe mix, only made 6 but was plenty for the amount of mixture I had.

canberra is the capital of australia and it is about 3 hours south of sydney and 8 hours north of melbourne (so inland on the east coast).

when i lived in italy i lived in two places - have just gone and looked on google maps :D the first place was overlooking the church of san marco, on via san marco (via solferino was behind and the next corner was via fatebenefratelli). then we moved to Via leopardo and overlooked cadorna train station.

i loved living in milan :)

I live in Canberra, Australia.

I've had my thermomix for about a year now and we all love it! my partner uses it to cook meals in (mostly from the cookbook unless i give him a printed conversion) and i use it for prep work, converting favourite recipes, and experimenting!

i have set up 2 blogs, my own and a group blog (all welcome to join us :)) - both links are in my sig :)

great to have another place set up to share the tmx joy!
