Suggestions and Complaints / Scales Grrrr!
« on: December 18, 2012, 09:22:49 am »
I had a bit of an issue a month or so back with my scales not weighing correctly. I used a 500g pat of butter to check and they were WAY off. I called HO and the guy I spoke to was great and he sent me a checklist to try before I would have to send it in to be fixed. Anyway the scales ended up weighing correctly until now. They were way off today while I was doing banana and choc muffins. I was adding oil and it just seemed I was adding way too much for the weight my scales showed. I weighed the sugar on my trusty digital scales then weighed in thermie and it was so off! Something like 150g came in at 70g! Has anyone else had this problem?

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Thermie Baking
« on: June 20, 2012, 03:10:58 am »
I'm not sure if I'm Doing something wrong, perhaps overmixing, but I'm not very impressed so far with the thermoelectric and baking. I've made banana and choc chip muffins, the $4 mud cake and the easy choc cake in the EDC but each time the results haven't been great. It seems to me that baking the old fashioned way is better. Does anyone else think this?

I made this one the other night with mashed potato (first time - divine!!!). It was really yummy even with the big boo boo I made. I forgot to put it in reverse when it was cooking so the meat came out a bit like tuna :p This did take awhile to cook 30 mins then another 40 mins but was worth the wAit. I definitely will be trying this one again in reverse lol!!!!

Hi everyone :)

This is the first recipe I have made in my Thermie and I must say I wasn't impressed. I haven't made the veggie stock yet so I used Massel veggie stock powder which perhaps could have made a difference. I think that i would not add the butter next time as I could really taste it and it had sort of a film  Over it if that makes sense. I definitely don't think it needed it. I probably won't make this one again.

Introduce Yourself / Soon To Be Thermomix Owner :)

Hi Everyone,

I have been saving for a Thermie for awhile now and yesterday my partner said I can go ahead and get one! I am so excited I can't wait to book a demo :)

I live in WA and have 2 boys - 20 months and 9 weeks. My partner does FIFO 2 weeks on, 1 off so life is busy!

I can't wait to get to know you all as I've been stalking for awhile now :P

Two questions I have are - how long does your Thermie take to arrive once you've ordered it and also when do the new monthly specials  come out? I think I'm going to wait and have my demo in June.
