Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Re Chop function
« on: May 18, 2023, 11:46:50 pm »
Hi - finally we have Chop function in Australia but why is it not the same as USA , Europe and many other countries - do we pay less in Australia

I look at YouTube and see that Chop in other places - our Chop looks like a low priced alternative


Is there a reason why Cookidoo is better in places other than Australia?

Hi everybody- we have a TM6  and it’s fabulous

Had a problem this evening using COOKIDOO - all going well and about half way through and all stopped

I could not proceed with “next” and as it was our dinner I opened Cookidoo on my iPad to finish manually

Just cleaned up and Cookidoo works perfectly- is this to be expected ?


There are no codes or advises on screen - everything now works perfectly


Would appreciate your opinion - my family bought three TM6 and traded in a TM31 - never had any trouble and the TM6’s are only two months old and used daily in our homes

Regards

Peter

Main Dishes / Re: Varoma steamed Corned Beef
« on: February 25, 2014, 06:40:28 am »
usually cook our corned beef in the Dream Pot - but followed your instructions and it turned out beautiful.

cooked cabbage and some spuds in the basket and carrots , beetroot and celery in the veroma - as you said in the last 30 minutes.

found it interesting that the corned beef got larger when cooking . after 1.5 hrs the internal temperature of our beef was 85c so well cooked but moist and a pleasure to serve.

thanks very much - will do that again

Starters and Snacks / Re: Megan's Perfect Pasties

maybe beginners luck but I made the pastry in the EDC and your recipe except I added 2 tablespoons of oats.

They are fantastic - thank you - made four from the EDC pastry and two from shop bought pastry that I had in the fridge - will never buy again as the Thermomix pastry  just tasted better.

Having read the forum thought it was just a fluke so tried again this morning and they look just as good again

Found that the EDC Shortcrust pastry was enough for 4 pasties each around  190 g

thanks for a beaut pastie

Welcome / Re: Our Thermomix arrived today Wacko
« on: February 11, 2014, 05:39:16 am »
Thanks everybody - am really enjoying our Maxi - made Baileys Irish Cream and the Mud Cake - that was beaut. Made devilled sausages , steamed chicken and vegetables, leak and potato soup , vegetable soup , stock , bread , rolls , tomato relish , creme brulee, several dips and butter so with your help am off to a good start.
It is such a pleasure to use as everything works so well.
Training my finger not to reduce everything to a pulp - so easily done but still tastes good anyway.
Reading all your recipes and will eventually try them all.

kindest regards and thanks again

Welcome / Our Thermomix arrived today Wacko
« on: January 23, 2014, 04:51:28 am »
well its here and the consultant has gone - just made us fresh lemonade and it was beautiful.

Reading the cook book and off to buy cream to make butter - at NQR they have 12 x 300 ml for $1.20 good enough to learn with.

Have a great day and we are planning a big pav for Australia day - will try Woolies for egg whites

kind regards to all

Recipe Requests / question about chicken
« on: January 15, 2014, 04:55:24 am »
G'day we are just waiting for our Thermomix and dreaming about what we can do.

At the moment my wife poaches a chook and then we have the chicken as cold meat with a salad.

Norma then adds vegetables to the stock and we enjoy Chicken Soup as well.

We are wondering if the chicken is cooked in the Varoma is a stock made or would we need to poach the chicken in the basket and when the chicken is cooked remove the basket and add vegetables to the stock.

would appreciate your opinions

regards

peter

well thanks everybody i am sure i will enjoy this forum and will learn a lot .

At our demonstration the Thermomix was so good that two of my friends bought as well and now we have decided to buy each of the daughters one each so i expect you will soon have more members seeking help and contributing where they can.

At present i bake all our bread and use Wallaby Brand bakers flour but our demonstrator milled some wheat to add to her flour for bread rolls.

What wheat is used to mill bakers flour ?

We are planning to buy as a group and wonder if there are any co-ops in the Frankston area of Victoria?

In Dandynong we have a market and Hindustan Imports are these familiar to anyone and are they recommended ?

We are on a cruise and expect to get our Thermomix when we return home next Wednesday and it was great to get the two thermoservers.

kind regards

Chit Chat / your opinion on how to learn and plan please
« on: January 12, 2014, 03:20:08 am »
G'day my name is peter and yesterday the wife and i bought a Thermomix . We will call him Maxi - the wife is a little unsure but I love to cook so for a start its my new toy.

Appreciate what a great machine it is and would love to learn how to get the best from it as well .

Was wondering if for a newboy it would be best to work through the Every Day Cook Book and see just what we like best for a start and thought that a weekly menu could comprise of a name and page number for each recipe selected and then a shopping list could be constructed.

We have downloaded the App but it has very limited recipes and we cannot print out the shopping list either but if we do the above in Excel we can

would value your opinion and are there any recipes in the cook book that need adjusting

regards

Chit Chat / Re: CP63's Favourite Recipes (so far...)
« on: November 17, 2013, 10:36:43 pm »
thanks very much for your help and yes I am about to buy a Thermomix.

What i was tyring to ask is if the Thermomix is used for everyday food - I make bread each day using the artisan style either in our camp oven on a fire or in the oven at home.

we enjoy all foods but do like grills , as well and was interested to learn and was not intending to be of amusement to some of you.

The price of Thermomix is quite substantial and i would not like to just waste our money after all we are aged pensioners.

We would also like to use our Thermomix in our motor home as well.

Suppose that i have cooked for around sixty years and am looking forward to our Thermomix before Christmas

As the forum seems rather selective i will be happy to just read and search as most questions would have already been asked

Have a nice day

regards

peter
