How to convert recipe for Floating Islands dessert to TM 21?
« on: April 23, 2010, 12:51:52 am »
Hello,

I would like to make Floating Islands for a dinner party this weekend, and thought it would be perfect for the Thermomix. I have the older model: TM 21. The only hitch is that the recipe I found on the French Vorwerk site is for a TM 31. Normally, it's not a big deal to convert, but in this recipe you are supposed to whip the egg whites with the butterfly at Speed 3.5. However, with the TM 21, you're not supposed to go faster than Speed 3 when you are using the butterfly. Any suggestions?

Here are the original directions in French with a rough English translation:

Insérer le fouet dans le bol. Ajouter les blancs d’œufs avec une pincée de sel et régler 6 mn à 70°, vitesse 3,5. Cette opération permet de monter les blancs en neige et de les cuire en même temps.

Insert the butterfly into the bowl. Add the egg whites with a pinch of salt and cook for 6 minutes/70˚/Speed 3.5. [Note: The recipe calls for 6 egg whites.] The method allows you to whip the egg whites at the same time that you cook them.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Just go at 2.5 or 3

Check the table here http://www.thermomix.com.au/01-recipes.html for conversion of speeds - it is on here somewhere but easier for me to find on TMX site.
