Title: saute vs reverse functions
Post by: sarechoy on December 10, 2009, 04:42:48 am

Forgive my ignorance (only got my thermomix a couple of days ago) but when the recipe calls for 'saute at 100 degrees' do i press the 100 degrees button, then turn the dial to  ^^ ?  I am getting confused between  ^^ and  :-: Thanks!

Saute usually push the timer button (- / +) to set the amount of time, then the 100oC button and then turn the knob to  ^^ or 1 or sometimes 2.

The recipes usually say on here.  If converting then check the cookbook for similar recipes for a guide.

 :-: is reverse - good for keeping pieces of meat/veg/fruit together and not mashing them up.

Time - Temperature and Speed are all needed to cook - we often (at least some) forget to set the time and it doesn't work then :(

.........and we go into a state of panic for a moment or two.

And sometimes forget to set the temperature and wonder why it hasn't cooked after 15 minutes or so  :-))
