vanillabean I think it's better than from the rice cooker. Though I do still use mine regularly but only if the tmx is making the main.
Time is the major issue here so without two tmx's I cook the parts of the meal at the same time.

Another who does rice all the time.
800-900g of 'cold' tap water (I don't measure but just under the litre mark, lol, basically when I pour it in under the tap I do it till it's just over the 1 lt mark and then when you put the jug flat it goes to under)
Rice in basket - ummm I do by cup so between 3/4 cup and 2 cups depending on the meal, number eating it (so guess 100 to 300g?) etc (I just measure in cups as I know how much we have for various situations and can use the same amount if I use the rice cooker instead)
Rinse the rice under tap water and pop in the tmx.
cook 15mins, varoma temp, speed 4.
Often steam veg on top as well.

Very true Kathryn, and also I don't imagine Thermomix Australia import in small quantities so the change in the value of the dollar probably hasn't affected their current costs.

Kathryn, lol.  aren't I! It's not very often but when we are away I am on cooking strike. I also don't like using my neighbours beach house kitchen, worry about not cleaning it properly or something so it's just easier to bbq. We do eggs and bacon on the bbq for breakfast, lunch is salads, rolls, cold meats, dinner is bbq or eating out (so say 5 days away do 2 nights out and 3 bbq meals) The kids love going out to eat and there is a great Indian restaurant up there.

Today made an extra super quick curry. Similar to my Quick Curry but added rice to it. All cooked in 20 min in one pot.  Made it for lunch and have leftovers to heat up for tomorrow. So two yummy treat meals for less than $4. Recipe (tried to make this one closer to a recipe than my usual instructions), but it's still probably a little vague, on my blog. http://thermomixmeals.blogspot.com/2011/05/monday-30th-may-porridge-quick-chicken.html

Way to go Nik!!
I'm one that doesn't take mine away (we just go to our neighbours beach house for a few days and I make dh bbq or we go to a restaurant for a treat) but I can imagine wanting to take tmx.

I think the original thermomats come from france. You can def get ones from the US (ebay) quite cheaply. Just can't think of the name/keywords.
But yes it's just a flexible silicone mat. The thermomix oz ones are quite large.

I'd love it if admin could set up a member only or even post count (lowish) area on this forum for things like meet ups etc.
I don't like posting personal info on a public searchable forum, and am sure others would 'chat' more if there was a less accessible area for chat.

Tonight made Babi Tempra from the Asian cookbook, Pork with lime and soy. But I made it with chicken thighs as suggested and only cooked for 30 mins. Was really nice. I also added some veg 15 mins (next time will do 10 mins, not sure why I put them in early, we like our veg crispy, though wasn't overcooked at all) before the end. All cooked great. A lovely slightly sweet taste the kids loved. Surprisingly loads of sauce which you could even thicken, I really had wondered if there would be enough sauce at all. On the will make again list. We all love lime.

Another one of those one use appliances. Think it sounds quite good if you make a lot of soup as I hated the whole stick blender, pots, pouring thing pre tmx, but think that is a pretty stiff price for a one use appliance unless you eat an awful lot of soup. Can't even make the stock which I find is such a great money saver.

What is the butterfly you are speaking of??
LOL sorry no help as I pretty much never use mine, even in recipes when it's included I get it out, sit it in front of the tmx and find it sitting there at the end.

Haloumi patties with mushrooms, carrots and pasta (dd3 really wanted pasta) The patties were adapted from this months masterchef magazine and so so simple and easy to make in the tmx.
