Thermomix on Masterchef Australia

[meganjane]

I loathe watching MC Australia. I've been watching the UK one for years on Foxtel and it's way more professional.

The thing I don't like about both shows is that it's all about how the food looks and tastes, not about nutrition or balance. Sometimes, there's not a vegie to be seen unless it's a tiny cut out square or a piece of balled out pumpkin or something. Veggies seem to be used as decoration.

does that make you think that you don't need much of one thing (ie. nutrient) to "count" (Piggy Wiggy's that we are) I'm really interested in how further this (oops, been timed out. will catch up tomoz)

I finally saw a TMX in action in the finale last night. Taken me a while to spot it  (Although I haven't actually been watching the series religiously.)

[Lisel]

My DD loves TMX spotting on masterchef, I think she has seen one in nearly every episode and both women in the first round of the final used them.  It is usually a fleeting glance as the camera focuses our attention on something else. 

I've noticed they all use them with the cup upside down, wondering if they were given a lesson on how they work at the start?

 . .  it was referred to the other night as "a high speed blender" . . . . no mention of the name, Thermomix . . .

The best part is our Newcastle fellow Andy won.

[Halex]

Do you knw him?

So happy he won. Ds loves him & Ben

[Amy :-)]

I was excited seeing the TMX too, and I'm glad Andy won because he is so funny and genuine

It made me wonder whether there are any rules about how much they can cook in the TMX on the show. Since it can do almost everything I would be inclined to say it would be cheating to use it for too much since the point of the show is to prove how good they are in the kitchen.

I'm glad Andy won..

[Yvette]

I'm glad Andy won too thank goodness Julia didn't considering she was supposed to be the dessert queen she didn't cook many good ones

I don't know him personally, although DH's eldest daughter's husband and him where in the same class at school and still see each other at the pub.

He should have know better than to put dry ice into a sealed container? Idiot . I am surprised the crew allowed it.

I think that that was the first time the machine has actually been referred to by name as a thermomix.  It certainly got a lot of exposure last night

[Halex]

Yes it looked like there was a TM on every bench, laughed when George called it a machine, Lol

You dont muck  about with dry ice, its dangerous stuff!!
