Title: Tips on getting stuff out of the danged bowl???
Post by: Andrealphus on May 04, 2013, 12:21:35 pm
OK, loving my new toy soooooo much - but does anyone have any useful tips on getting the delicious things I have cooked out of the TMX without leaving half of it in the bottom stuck under and around the blades?

I have been using a silicone spatula to try and curve under and around the blades at the bottom of the bowl, but it's quite annoying trying to get stuff out at the bottom (I suppose I could remove the blades and put up with spillage out of the hole?), what with all that luscious sorbet staring at me, and stubborn grains of risotto rice!

What do all you seasoned TMX owners do?!

Andrea,  it's much more simple to remove the blades to help get your food out rather than try to work around them.

I use a soft bendable spatula and over time have learned to get most stuff out.

I agree it's in the technique - I also use a soft spatula and with much practice have become pretty efficient at using it

I get as much out as I can then put the lid back on and wizz for a second or two,  then the remainder gets flung to the sides and is easier to scrape out :)...

I do all of the 3 :)

Depending on what it is, taking the blades out makes it much easier :)

I find  my superkitchenmachine.com Super spatula is very useful but the easiest way is to remove the blades.

I finds small silicone spatula works best but still get annoyed some times and depending on what I'm making I find I don't use the tmx because I know it will be hard to get all the end product out.

Set the TMX to closed lid position and press the turbo button. Get as much as you can out that way, then remove the blades to scrape out any last traces ;)
