Hi Tim, nice to have another gentleman on the forum.  Hope you get to buy the new model pretty soon but the one you have will certainly keep you going until then. Do you do all the cooking at home?

I do a lot of cooking at home, everything from making my own pasta through to jams, chutneys cordials etc. Love trying nee things and experimenting. Homemade bread everyday. I am also a Health and safety inspector which means I get to inspect kitchens in education facilities both commercial and student kitchens. I am a self confessed foodie.

I when I make bread by hand or in my breadmaker I use improver which makes the bread last for much much longer, in fact it doe not go solid like it can do if you keep homemade bread. Is anyone else using it? Any suggestions or tips for use in TM?

why is the plastic used for the TM such a visually unappealing colour?  Its horrid

Just a quick message to introduce myself: My name is Tim, I am the owner of a very old 3300 which is doing sterling work until such time that I can afford the latest model.
I am really impressed by this clever piece of kit which is enhancing our kitchen and cooking. At the moment we are going through all our kitchen units deciding what we don't need and can sell on ebay so that we can afford a new TM31. So far we have quite a pile of stuff which will on longer be required.
