So I made yogurt (not the EDC version as it was runnier then this when I made it the first time) and now this one is very very runny.

Recipe was:
1 litre full cream milk
500g good quality yogurt (yes I questioned this but its right according to my consultant)

Milk into bowl 20mins/80/speed 2-3

Cool milk o 37degrees

Add yogurt 5 sec/speed 5. THEN 20mins 37/speed 2-3

Last 3 mins heat thermomserver with boiling water until hot to touch. Empty water out and add yogurt.

Keep in warm place for minimum 5-6 hours. Then in fridge for 12 hours.

I followed this recipe left it in the oven (turned off, to keep it at a constant temp) for 6 hours and it was in the fridge all day and it is mega runny.

What can I do with this? Its too expensive to throw it out as it's got over $4 worth of yogurt in it and is meant to be my starter.

Mine went into a old roll on deoderant container no issues. And other then DH getting a rash (we think his skin doesn't like bi carb) mine holds up to the test of 2 days no shower and only one application, it is pretty good with a few drops of rose oil too.

I used only 1 tablespoon of bicarb, 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon of arrowroot and 6 tablespoons of coconut oil. Love it.

I was gifted these lovely preloved, well used bread tins from a baker friend of mine. I am unsure of how or what to grease them with?

What do you use to stop bread sticking?

I had a baby steriliser but it didn't fit much in it in terms of large jars and always left them with a residue. I wash in hot soapy water and then rinse in hot water. Then I preheat the oven too 100 Degrees C and put them in there for 2hours, lids and all. I then put the lids on them and they are ready to go when I need them.

Hi

I have just less then 250ml of hard sauce left over from Christmas Day, and I was wondering if there was anything I could make with it.

It contains butter, icing sugar and vanilla essence. I was thinking a cake or something would be nice. I don't want to waste it, but don't have anymore pudding to use it on either.

OK so some of you might be aware I started a thread over on the new RC forums thinking about returning my TMX as it wasn't what I had expected. Just to recap I have had my TMX since the 2nd week in December. I had been lusting after one for over 2 years and finally had the cash. I and a friend couldn't organise a demo before Christmas, so I brought mine unseen but knowing my friends thought the world of theirs.

I had my delivery demo 2 days after I received it and my consultant gave me some useful tips and tricks I wouldn't have known about without the demo, but I felt like a bit of a nit and lost a lot of confidence. I have a Varoma demo booked for Feb.

So far I have made pancakes (pretty good and easy), bread rolls (DH very happy and yummy), butter (the EDC one and I watched a you tube vid and made my own, youtube one is heaps easier, less messy and yummier) egg custard (not too bad I made my own recipe and was quiet proud) muffins (these were bland and hard to get out from under the blades), Butter chicken (EDC bland and watery), tapioca porridge (yummy) and hollandaise sauce (divine but not the EDC version). Oh I also made yogurt out of the EDC book and it was watery, and the mayo from the same book split, I've never had a mayo split 

I don't think my issue is converting recipes, I feel I can do that. But I would love to find recipes that I love. We are family that is healthy conscious and our youngest is dairy free, we are on a tight budget and DH is a meat and 3 veg man, I am not, I love pastas and risotto's. So maybe I need to get him to love it and find recipes that show it off at its full potential.

Thoughts are greatly appreciated!!

And thanks for being so welcoming.

Lol Carrie, funny how recognizable I am.
