Hi, I have a customer who has a yellow lid and spatula from cooking curry in her TM. Is there anyway to get rid of the colour?
Thanks!

Special Diets / Marshmallows - FAILSAFE
« on: September 22, 2010, 02:42:21 am »
As some of you may have seen on FB, I was able to convert Sue Dengates marshmallow recipe for TM. Easy As!! You could do so much with this mixture - there will be heaps of slice creations made I bet!

4 tbsp gelatine (sorry I forgot to weigh this)
220g warm water
880g sugar
440g boiling water
2 pinches of citric acid
Icing sugar and cornflour to dust

Add gelatine and warmwater to tm bowl and mix for 20sec on speed 3.
Add sugar and boiling water and cook at varoma temp for 20 min on speed 1.
Allow mixture to cool to 37 degrees. Add citric acid and butterfly and beat mixture for 5min on speed 4 or until white and thick.
Pour in to silicon baking trays or wetted cake tins and set in the fridge.
When set cut in to squares and dust with the icing sugar and cornflour mixture.

It makes a LOT! filled 2 square cake tins to 3.5cm and still had about 500ml left in the TM bowl. I mixed in rice bubbles and a couple of tablespoons of cocoa to make chocolate LCM bars. Not sure on exact amount of rice bubbles, you just add as much as you need so that the mixture still sticks together ok. You could use cornflakes and a mixture of seeds or grains with the rice bubbles.

This is converted from Sue Dengate's failsafe recipe.

You can get citric acid from the supermarket.

TIP: I did try beating it at various temps as the kids were impatient but it would not thicken up properly, I found that I had to wait until it had cooled completely. And it needed the butterfly, beating with the blades wasnt enough.

Bacon, potato and cheddar soup
Meat on the menu

Large volume - 2L so goes a long way. I didnt have white wine so left that out and used water with stock concentrate instead of chicken stock. I didnt have enough cheese so only used 100g cheddar and 50 of parmasan. This was plenty!!! I wouldnt add any more it would be too strong. Very thick but i like it like that. Kids not so keen but they dont like soup normally anyway. Happy to dip toast in it though.

My version 4/5

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Review - $4 Choc mud cake, Budget busters

Budget busters
$4 Choc mud cake

Great texture - just like bought mud cake. Very moist.
Very quick and easy just mix all ingredients together.
It does freeze well and thawed pieces are just like the fresh ones, so perfect for quick snacks and lunch boxes.
Lacking a bit in chocolate flavour - but I like mine rich - So would up the cocoa a bit next time.
Would be a great birthday cake or served with custard or ice cream as a desert.

4/5

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone uses their TM for professional cake decorating? Someone has asked whether fondant and gum paste can be made well in the TM.
Thanks

Main Dishes / Mustard brandy chicken from NEW GF cookbook
« on: February 02, 2010, 12:22:27 am »
Posting this one for those of you who have an older edition of the GF cookbook. (On page 40 in current edition)
Might have to compare indexes and see if there are any other different ones. (This one doesn't have the stir fry chicken wings)

Number of People: 4-6
Ingredients:
4 skinless chicken breasts (or 2 butterflied)
1-2 bunches of asparagus or green beans
40g butter
4 eschalots peeled (I just used 1/2 a brown onion)
60g brandy
60g dry white wine
3 tbsp seeded mustard
300g chicken stock (I used stock concentrate in water)
120g cream
1 tbsp cornflour
salt and pepper to taste
chives as garnish


Preparation:
Prepare chicken by placing it into the varoma dish. Make sure that all the steam vents are not covered
Remove woody bits from asparagus or top and tail beans. Place in varoma tray and set aside.
Plce butter and eschalots into TM bowl and chop for 5 sec on speed 5.
Scrape down sides and saute for 4 min, varoma temp on speed 2.
Add brandy, wine, mustard and stock. Put varoma in place and cook for 15 min, varoma temp, speed 3.
Check that chicken is cooked and slice breasts in half across the grain. Cook for a further 3-5 min inf necessary, but remove vegies and place in warming dish.
Place chicken in to thermoserver and add cream and cornflour to TM bowl. Blend for 5 sec on speed 7.
Cook for 2 min at temp 90 on speed 3.
Pour over chicken, adjust seasoning and sprinkle with chives.
Serve with vegies and mashed potato or rice.

Tips/Hints:

When I made this I also cooked some potato in the strainer at the same time and sliced the chicken in to strips so it didnt increase the cooking time by too much. In the end it needed an extra 5 min but was a good thing as it reduced the potency of the brandy and made it delicious.

Other suggestions.

1. Instead of white wine I used verjuice.

2. I used a pack of 3 chicken steaks from Foodland so they were a lot thinner than chicken fillets.  Cooked them 15 minutes, placed in the thermosaver with the snow peas that had been cooking in the varoma tray and continued cooking the carrot and pumpkin in the steaming basket & the cauliflower in the varoma tray. Need another 10 minutes cooking before I made the delicious sauce.  Have enough sauce leftover to accompany another dish. I reheated some mashed potato from yesterday in the microwave.

marmee - Oh yum!  Thank you so much for sharing!

cookie -  it is lovely. I cut up some potatoes and put them in the basket and we had beans, carrot and asparagus in the varoma with the chicken. We really enjoyed it and DH even said this would be a lovely recipe for caravan travelling. Instead of white wine I used verjuice as I didn't have any wine opened and didn't want to open one especially.
