Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: Steamer basket damaged by the blades! Has anyone seen this?

I have had mine for just over a year now - should advise HO but am super busy doing demos  ;) & it doesn't really affect anything.  Perhaps at the end of this busy month I will let HO know and perhaps get a new basket under warranty.  As a customer I would definitely let HO know and ask for a new basket.

Doubled this recipe to make a pirate birthday cake for master 3.  TM wasn't really happy with the doubled mixture - next time only 1.5x  :o  I split the batch in 2 and made one batch vanilla & the other chocolate them marbled them together for the final product.

I was looking through my recently delivered Penny Miller catalogue (http://www.pennymiller.com.au/) and saw a similar cake tin to Maddys.  Not quite as beautiful but only $19.30.   :)

Really enjoyed this one.  Not something I would ever have thought to cook pre TMX & I don't like mustard.  Kids loved it, DH loved it.  Also, I didn't have any cream so I used Quirky Cookings cream substitute (cashew cream).  It was the first time I have made the cashew cream & was really happy with it.

Made these again this morning but didn't have enough milk, so made some rice/cashew milk beforehand and used that instead.

Thanks - so quick & easy.  I ground up 50g of almonds & 50g of buckwheat and substituted this for 100g of the flour which gave the pancakes a nice nutty flavour.  Also, I forgot to grind my raw sugar first into caster, so just used raw and it was fine.  Couldn't manage to get a picture of the cooked product as they were eaten before I could get a photo of the nice stack  :-))  Made about 15 medium (child friendly) sized pancakes.  Yum  ;D

Try turning it off at the power point then when you turn it back on, leave it for 30 seconds before using any of the functions.

My DH made this for me  ;D - very decadent!  6 eggs & only 50g of flour makes for a very moist cake.  Nice tasting but I don't think it is so good that you would use so many eggs and good chocolate.  I think that I prefer some of the simpler chocolate cakes on the forum  ;)
