Title: Did Anyone Notice
Post by: mcmich on January 30, 2014, 07:34:49 am
On MKR last night - the boys used thermoservers to keep the quail hot?

I have the show taped so I will keep a look out.

On celebrity dine with me TM was used to make a raw mouse.

I'm too embarrassed by the portrayal of the Canberra couple to watch much more! I'm finding MKR too much about personalities and less about home cooking...

Only saw the 1st episode with the cheese farmers, loved their recipes. Been busy entertaining friends on hols in Kalbarri :)

Yes, I saw it too Michelle.  Then I was looking closely at the kitchen to see if I could spot the thermie.

I saw them Michelle, why wouldn't they be allowed to use them to cook with? I've only seen a few episodes over the seasons and find it too much about the personalities.

Yes, me too. Perhaps the other contestant's kitchen has the Thermomix. I really wish I could buy an Oval Thermomserve.

We picked it straight away, but couldn't spot the TM!

I think I watch it for the "cringe factor"... I am really hoping that some of the teams are 'schooled' in what to say and they are not like that in real life (WA Team are embarrassing! I would not admit to being friends with them!!)

Miss 12 loves the show, and gives running commentary on how "that would be so much easier and quicker if they had a Thermomix"!!

One of last years WA teams were just as bad.
I guess they have to make one team out as bad, I cringed every time the ACT bloke sang.
I like the twins, think they are funny.
Spotted the thermo savers, was scanning the kitchen for the thermomix.

It was my DH who spotted the thermo servers lol, and yes, we were trying to see where thermy was. I agree Nikkit the WA team are very embarrassing .

Same here Augusta. Hubby spotted the thermoserver. I also think they wouldn't be allowed to use a TMX.

I watched it and missed seeing it. Don't think they are allowed to use a thermomix on the show.....might make them good cooks 😉😛

I'm sure I read somewhere that it isn't their kitchen or their recipes? That they are placed in a strange kitchen and given a menu to cook to.

That sounds about right as they can never find anything! I've watched a few episodes, but its cringeworthy. I reckon they're fed the lines, no one can be that stupid or nasty...

The Thermothingy is set to feature heavily in MC this year I believe.

You could see a TM on the bench when the WA best friends cooked, but they never used it.

I missed that arcadia. Would using a Thermomix really be considered cheating? I realise not everyone has access to one but they are allowed to use food processors and stand mixers.

Post by: CreamPuff63 on February 12, 2014, 04:16:18 am
it seems that they all use the same appliances as I've noticed KA's in the background not being used. I suppose this puts everyone on more even ground if one appliance is better than another
Title: Re: Did Anyone Notice

Maybe they were all given certain appliances that they are allowed to use. I was surprised to notice that a lot of contestants are using a deep fryer.  I didn't think that many households would ordinarily have one.


Edited to add. I just checked and the program is sponsored by Breville. I take it that that is what accounts for the food processors, stand mixers and deep fryers looking the same in each kitchen.
