Thermomix have offered me a brand new TM5, to be delivered on Monday.
They were extremely helpful and courteous and are keen to ensure I am happy.
Can't ask for more than that, can i?

So sorry about your scales Denise. Hope you get your baby back very quickly. We all hate to be without them, I know.
I should have kept my mouth shut yesterday!
This morning, whilst using the TM5, the "reverse" just enabled itself in the middle of using the machine.
I noticed the changed of sound immediately, and went over to it to find the "reverse enabled" going on and off randomly.
I couldn't get it to stop, so had to switch the machine off and on again to correct it.
I am so disappointed. I have recommended this machine to so many people (about 5 sales have originated from me in the last 10 months - three through my own demonstrator and two in another area)
I am now waiting to speak to my demonstrator. She is a lovely lady but I hate to keep bothering her.
This time, i am going to ask for a new machine. These random faults are completely spoiling my love of the machine and I find I am nervous of using it, which is ridiculous.
Sorry about the moan everyone. If I didn't love this machine sooooooooooooo much, I wouldn't be so upset.
Will let you all know what happens.

Is the TM5 too clever for it's own good???
Mine has been repaired twice in 10 months of ownership and, despite only having it back from repair for a couple of weeks, the machine screen starting flashing again yesterday.
I have made a note of the date etc and will monitor the situation. It seems to be fine at the moment.

Got my TM5 back last week and I rang the technician to see what they had done to it. Apparently, they've replaced the control unit etc. I have decided that if it goes wrong again, I am going to ask for a new one.

No, the screen wasn't dirty. I love to keep it gleaming. It's my pride and joy. I've never had an error message, just weird things happening.
It's gone back today - for the second time since February. I'm a bit disappointed, to say the least.
I am told by Thermomix that the screen flashes when you have a leakage/overspill. As far as I am concerned, I haven't had either.
I also make sure that the pins are thoroughly dry before I add the bowl.
Luckily, Thermomix agreed to send me a TM5 to use whilst mine is being repaired, so I am not getting withdrawal symptoms.
Is this latest machine too sophisticated for general use? Should I have kept my TM31?
I use my TM5 so much and would be lost without it. I still love it, even if it's being very naughty.
I have asked the Thermomix engineer to let me know what was wrong and what he did to repair it - just hope he comes up with something.
Will keep you all informed.

Anyone else had their TM5 misbehave and flash the screen, on and off quickly, light & dark?  My TM5 is about 7 months old and this is the second time it has had to be returned for repair. The same faults a last time. Apparently, the repair engineer said that this fault - and the flashing of "reverse enabled" when I haven't engaged reverse - is probably down to a spill in the machine. I can honestly say i haven't had this happen. I am fastidious about ensuring the pins etc are absolutely dry before putting the jug in the TM5. Nothing, as far as I am concerned has overflowed from the jug either. I love my TM5 but this is driving me nuts. Any advice would be so welcome. I feel such an idiot. I owned my TM31 for more than 2 years prior to this and had no problems at all with it. Am I just being unlucky??

Just made the Apple and Blackberry Tray bake from this new book. Didn't have any Braeburn apples, so I used two cooking apples.
The result was so delicious. Irresistible. Excellent recipe and one I shall use again and again.

Made it last night and just used the TM to get the milk to 37 degrees.
I have to say it looks ok until you put a spoon in it and then, yuk, it sort of separates.
It was a request from hubby so I shan't be eating it. He says it tastes fine and will eat the lot.
I shall give it a wide berth!
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Denise, that's so kind of you. Sadly, I've only got liquid rennet, but I'm going to give it a go and I'll report back. Thanks again.

Does anyone know if I can buy a copy of "Cooking With Tenina" in the UK please?

Just made this from the Everyday Cookbook. It was so easy - very simple pastry but very good. The filling took seconds and the quiche was absolutely excellent. Oh, how I love my TM5. I made the Too Easy Chocolate Cake at the same time, also for the first time. It was very quick and is really lovely.
If you haven't made either of these yet, I'd really recommend them. I shall be using these recipes over and over again.

I love proper custard. Does anyone have a really good recipe for custard using eggs etc, that really works??
I find some recipes produce a tasty custard but it looks a teeny bit curdled. Or is it just me?
