Pre heat the stone. Sprinkle the hot stone with a little semolina or ground rice before putting the dough on. This will prevent sticking.
Good luck.

Thank you! Good hint and tip. I have previously tried polenta on the hot stone, but my dough still stuck...

Cheers! Joanne

This is now on my list to do! :)

There is a roast beef recipe on the uk thermomix website, and there is a review of corned beef from For Foods Sake on this forum under book reviews.

Thank you CreamPuff63 for your time and reply too!

I found the one on the uk site...looks delish too!

Also learned FFS = For Food Sake by Tenina Holder

Thank you for allowing me to learn something new...

Having newbie navigational issues...trying to find the review which hopefully has a recipe...

This is what I get when I put corned beef in the search engine...Again, thank you for your time and patience too

Try this one, Joanne...
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7974.0

Thanks astarra...that's the recipe I made...I highlighted to the original poster the positives (like I always would) and the difficulties I encountered, but will not deter me from trying again.

Cheers! Joanne

I made a silverside and while the recipe itself smelled awesome in the kitchen (is the Breville crockpot recipe), the silverside (corned beef) came out a beautiful pink; could only be enjoyed by slicing it very finely; otherwise the meat was chewy.

I did not have to throw it out; as minimizing food wastage I am passionate about

Being a newbie, it is always great to ask for help and obtain first hand knowledge...

Thank you in advance with any suggestions and specific links will be appreciated too! :)

Cheers! Joanne

Love it Caroline.....we have this thread on the "taste" forum, and it's very inspirational  ;)

Tonight I made open beef enchilada's (using Julie O's beef enchilada recipe)......Love the sauce!



Looks GREAT and is now on the list to make too!

Thank you!

Cheers! Joanne

The carrot lessens or balances the acidity when combined with the tomato. Carrots contain natural acids.

Carrot is a veggie high in sugar; hence the sweetness too...Carrot is on my sometime list to enjoy, make, create, bake and include too :)

Hope this helps...and glad I can share this sugarless TMX recipe with all of you!

Cheers!

The carrot lessens the acidity and for me, I did add Xylitol for sweetness...sorry...but tired today...Xylitol is sugarless sugar so I made this sugarless recipe with sugarless sugar :)

 :D

Thanks for being patient and understanding...re posts, still (as a newbie) feeling my way :)

At least I posted the right photo lol

Hope you have a great night Judy! :)

thanks JO i think i will need to get one of the proofing bowls  just for the fun of makiing a nice symetrical loaf. i have found that this mix is too sticky to slash, but the loaf has been great anyway. i have been using a pizza stone, and to transfer the dough i have been proving on a piece of baking paper (with the bowl over the top to keep its shape) so that I can just lift up the baking paper and whack it in the oven onto the stone. The stone has to be in the oven to warm up gradually. this loaf doesn't last more than 2 days in our house, but even on on the 2nd day its still soft and fresh. have some potatoe flour in the cupboard so will flour the top of the loaf and see how that goes also  ;D

has anyone made small cobettes from this recipe to use as soup bowls? Perhaps I might give that a go today...

Do you put anything on the stone once you have already taken it off the baking paper onto the stone so it will not stick?

Thank you!

Newbie :)

Cheers! Joanne

I was thrilled with this lovely loaf Julie.  My dough wasn't too sticky like others have said but I added a tiny bit more flour after the first rise and it was really easy to handle.  How long does it stay fresh - don't know whether to slice and freeze most of it or not.

Judy I found these WONDERFUL Brown colored plastic Bread Bags at the Cake/Baking shop on N.E. Rd; opposite Holden Hill Police Station

GREATLY extends the life of bread!

Hope this helps!

G'day and big thanks and yes I definitely have the Thermomix bug...have cooked over 80 dishes/recipes in about 3 weeks time

Slowly but surely they are finding their way now to new blog posts...this one coming soon and will update the link when I do...

Based on my food lifestyle, I use Xylitol (sugarless sugar) I have been using it for quite a while and know what it can and can't do and the same will apply re the Thermomix too!

More than understand your wariness...re new blogs :)

My security and virus systems are checked each session I am online and knock wood have never had a computer virus passed on :)

I included the recipe that I was inspired with if in the interim people wanted to try and make too...

Mostly in this one, I substituted the sugar with Xylitol then added some herbs and spices for my personal taste and can't wait to share all I have done and learn more from all the wonderful, very helpful people here too!

Have a great night!

I made quite a number of sauces, pastes, seasonings....and have shared some with my friend / neighbor Trudy from here too :)

Cheers! Joanne

Inspired by this recipe
Thermomix Tomato Paste - No Added Sugar

Sugarless variation coming soon via blog post by me

Is GREAT that in bringing things back to the basics, the Thermomix reinforces "A Life of Healthy" :)

Cheers! Joanne
