Bluesed, Do you use something to stop the pasta sticking together before you cook it ?

Mine will actually go to Melbourne too, but I spoke to WA to find out what the procedure was. Still have to contact my Consultant to get her to do the paperwork

I have spoken to Stuart at HO, He can't understand why it is doing what it is, but he was very helpful, mentioned that it should make no difference tipping the machine on its back, he has them upside down etc, all the time. He is going to sent it away to be repaired next month while I am away on holidays so I am without it a minium of days. Obviously he understands that even though I have only had it a short time I am not sure how I will manage without it.

Its been off for a while now and the screen has gone back to normal, thanks for the responses, glad to see it has happened to someone else ILB, my husband suggested that there may somehow be water in there but its brand new? After it was back to normal I did give it a quick tilt again and as soon as I turned it back on the screen was a bit wrong again but nowhere as bad as the first time. I will call them tomorrow and see what they have to say, would hate to loose it to be repaired but also hate to have it develop into a bigger problem
Thanks

Its been off for maybe 20 minutes now...it is better but not right, I have a 1 displayed permanently next to the time icon on the screen this also stays there in the scales screen, the other icons, that were flashing in and out now  seem to be working when I press them ie: reverse etc ( working as they should ) . I am not game enough to lay it on its back again...how do others clean the feet?
I will be ringing them tomorrow....very disheartened I "thought" these things were basically bomb proof  :(

My Thermomix is only 3 weeks old, this evening after using it I noticed that there was an ice cube that had dropped behind the machine so I moved it to wipe it up and though that I would turn the machine onto its back and wipe the feet with a damp cloth( as I read to do this ever now and then), now the screen has gone all stupid, there are no errors but it is displaying everything on the screen at the same time ( all the display ) changing to scales etc the display is different but equally unreadable and its kind of flicking all over the place. I would swear that it is like a digital watch that has gotten wet, ( which I can see no possible way how this could have happened ) Has anyone seen this before?

I am sure you may already know,there is software called Recipefox, that I think is part of Firefox Browzer, that will import recipes from web pages etc, ( I don't use it as I use Mastercook software that has a simular feature ) but I have seen it talked about

Is it possible to have a copy of the "tweaks" posted to this forum, I only got my TM last saturday, it would be great to go thru my EDC and make the necessary changes

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this site doesn't have many of the goods you order in stock ( even though they say they do online) There has been discussion on other forums about them taking orderes not delivering or refunding, I just yesterday got a refund ( not from them but through my credit card company ) for an order placed on Feb 2nd, they don't return calls and I got one email from them saying they are in "discussions with the QLD dept of fair trading " I think they would be best avoided.

I made this for the kids using the skin on, they complained that it had too much acid/skin taste?
It's not quite as strong ( acid taste ) the next day, is it the skin on or the citric acid giving that taste?
Will the acid taste go away if I leave it in the fridge a bit longer?

We after reading, lusting,  ordering ( unseen ), waiting and recieving I am now converted to the Thermomix world.
Alice ( after the cook/housekeeper in  The Brady Bunch ) arrived at a delivery demo on Friday afternoon, that night she made sorbert ( didn't go over well with the husband but kids loved it), Saturday she started the day with my 13 y.o. making his own porridge. The onto EDC muffins ( not a big hit ) I tried an old family recipe for a boiled fruit cake ( perfect ), orange juice,  then for dinner she made, foccacia bread EDC minestrone ( couldn't fit the pasta in so when without that ) then the biggest hit the EDC Lemon Meringue Pie ( DH husband said my best one ever! )
She has also been busy today with more porridge, Bread rolls, Lentil and walnut patties and Peanut chilli sauce for lunch, she is busy now making Tomato Sauce with the glut of tomatoes from the garden and I am hoping tonight she can cope with mashed Potatoes and steamed veg, Oh I forgot juice again today ...apple, manderine and orange.
And I think I have also finally worked out how to get the lid on first go! So after BIG doubts on Friday night I think she will settle in just fine as the new hired help.
It really is a whole new way of cooking to get used to ( and I am stunned :o that I have admitted to naming a household appliance so not like me but "themomix" gets a bit long after a while ) and now I think I do know why you all talk of your Thermomix's so fondly!

I told the kids I was not going to buy ice cream any more so I suppose some sort of sorbet/icecream will be the first order of the day.
For me I am keen to try my cake, biscuit and muffin recipes as I cook them every couple of days, but my main goal is to use it as much as possible without have to go to the gym more than I do! :o
