Hi Amy, yes I do use the glass bowl as a casserole dish. It is so easy! Just throw everything in and cook at 160 - 180 depending on the foods or finish you want. I also do a lot of chicken pieces type dishes with different vegies, wine, herbs, garlic etc. always a winner.
That sounds great! I'm definitely going to try that soon  Thanks for the tip about washing the bowl too. I am always struggling to get the darn thing clean!  Yes Amy I did mean 1930. DH has one car on the road and licensed, one nearly done and one not even started.
Each A Model (1930 cars) has about 5000 parts they tell me, so to be truthful we would have heaps more than 1,930 bits in and around the shed. With the 3 cars and all the spare parts, engines, mudguards, gearboxes, windscreens and I won't go on there would be well over 30,000 parts. Most Some of them are stored neatly in tubs.
Wow!

Amy,
Nigelle's little lemon puddings, posted by Maddy, in desserts.
Easy to make and cook in the varoma.
Robyn
You're a star Robyn! I have been looking for inspiration for the perfect Mother's Day menu, and these would make a fantastic dessert because my mum absolutely loves lemon. Thank you so much for the suggestion!! @ Cookie and Dede, Ahh-ha!! I see now. That might indeed be the problem with my ring tin. Thanks girls! I will have to look into it. Amy, the tin is in the caravan so will do my best to fight my way past all the 1930 car parts and get it out for you.
Do you mean the year 1930? Or do you actually have 1930 car parts?

Sticky date pudding in ramekins in the varoma are great Amy 
Thanks dede, will give them a whirl soon! Amy we have an easycook and I use a ring tin, but DH cut out the centre hole so that hot air can go up through the centre of the cake as well. That way I have had success. I can't cook scones in it despite trying many times. I know others can make lovely scones in it. If you can't work out what I mean for the ring tin I'll take and post a photo.
That sounds like a great idea cookie. But I am a bit confused by what you mean with the ring tin, so a photo would be great...  My mum has made some really nice date scones in it, but I haven't mastered them yet I also used the bowl as a big casserole dish and that works very well.
Do you mean you use the actual bowl, ElleG? I have cooked casseroles in casserole dishes on the racks, but never tried using the bowl. Could you tell me how you do that? Thank you for your other tips too

I just love my Convection Microwave for all my cake baking etc, it's my second most loved gadget in the kitchen. (can you guess what the first one is?)
LOL Yep, I think I have an idea...  Probably the same as mine!!! Thanks for the advice dede I have experimented with roasts, but the last one I did was only the first I actually managed to cook properly... I have considered using my microwave for baking, but I haven't been able to get my head around it. I used to always use my good old-fashioned oven, but we recently got a new, much bigger one. I'm still getting used to it and its quite expensive and energy-guzzling to preheat the entire thing for one cake. Which is why I got out the Easycook. Maybe I should try doing more steamed cakes or puddings in the varoma...

We bought ours ages ago, but I have only just started experimenting with it. I have been trying to do my baking in it because that is one thing DTMX can't do (*sigh*), and the Easycook is supposedly more economical than a regular oven. I use a ring tin as recommended, but my cakes are always doughy in the middle or around the bottom. I am often dismayed to find myself throwing entire cakes in the rubbish bin because they are completely inedible and beyond rescuing  If anybody else has an Easycook, could they please give me some advice? I would really appreciate it

The only magazine I subscribe to is Healthy Food Guide. I did have a lot of old Recipes+ and Super Food Ideas magazines, but I rarely looked at them. They were full of a lot of recipes I wouldn't cook without making extremely vast alterations. So I ripped out a few recipes, stuck them in a folder, and recycled the rest of the magazines. I used to work in a newsagency, and at the end of each week/month/quarter when all the old magazines were pulled off the shelves and replaced with current editions, staff were allowed to take the old magazines home. I must say I was never impressed with Masterchef, Donna Hay, Gourmet Traveller, or a number of other foody magazines. I often threw them in the recycling without finishing them. Glad I didn't pay for them! But I love my Healthy Food Guides. I read them cover-to-cover and then re-read them over and over again, reminding myself of all the little tips to make my cooking healthier. If you hadn't guessed already, I am very health-conscious

Oh dear JD! I don't think it would be quite the same without the banana... But that has got me thinking that it might be interesting to try with different fruits... I might experiment!

I am loving the sound of a chocolate risotto, but that leads me to a dilemma...would I want to risk my last thermomix meal on something I'd never cooked before? I would be slightly annoyed if it didn't turn out right, or if it didn't suit my tastes.
THE PLOT THICKENS...

I used to love this with steak and homemade chips Back when I ate chips. And steak, for that matter... Always used to reduce the amount of onion though. I found it a bit overpowering.
