Lovely Cookie.
Judy.  I love using the 7 so will adapt the recipe. I think the issue is the larger heating area of the base of the bowl, but same size blades. I’ll try reducing the cooking time of my custard from 9 to 7 minutes.
It was great to catch up with KAtie at Demo. I’ve now met all frequently posting Forum members face to face.
Long time friends are coming for lunch on Friday. They are bringing a relative who is the producer of a cooking show on the TV.  I’m not trying to show off. I’m grilling lamb cutlets, TMX mashed potato and steamed carrot, beans and zucchini. Mint sauce and gravy. Sweets?

Made Bol sauce from Cookidoo. I added a few bits extra to the basic recipe. All good. I love not waiting for the arms to close on the lid. I love the larger and better shaped Varoma. I can fit a dish in and cook fish in a sauce.

I’ve been thinking about why the  7 is producing some sauces different from former TMX  models.  The blades are the same size but the base of the bowl is larger. Therefore the heating surface is bigger. This means that the same recipe, same time but more heat is going to give a different result. Hope this makes sense.

The house seemed very quiet today without the blue feathered friend “helping” me all the time. So I cooked lots. It kept me busy.

I used the 5 and 7 today. The 6 rested. I made a Classic loaf, a rye SD is rising in the fridge, English muffins and an  Orange Sour Cream cake.

Hi again spersephone. You will love your 7. I’m finding that it makes things smoother than the 6. I made ricotta gnocchi with it yesterday and they were the best I’ve ever made.
I made some English muffins this afternoon from a camping site. The man that posted it uses them as bread when he travels, no kneading required.
We used them for burgers tonight.
Last night’s ricotta gnocchi.

Marina  CB one of my older spatulas has crumbled too. I use a mixture of spatulas.
Days seem to pass too quickly at the moment! I was very lucky to be at Chookie’s demo of TM7 ( thank you Chookie it was lovely to catch up in person ) I understand what Chookie means by a different machine. I want expecting that . Just cooking here and trying to keep warm .

It’s been a very long time since I logged in here. I’m waiting for my TM7. I wanted to order it on Day one, but my consultant wanted a chat first and we didn’t manage to do that for two weeks, so I’m patiently waiting. I’m looking forward to having my TM6 and TM7 together to take advantage of all the different options. I gave my TM5 to my mum and so far, she has been appreciating it, but originally she was saying that I was just dumping it on her. Strangely enough, we made the slow cooked meatballs from Cookidoo in the TM5, and they were fabulous. I went home and made it again in my TM6 and they just weren’t as good. I’m not sure what I did differently, as I’ve always found that recipe was great. Will have to try it again in the 7 when I get it.

What I am really looking forward to in the TM7 is the redesigned Varoma. I want to make ricotta dumplings. I feel like it never makes enough of the dumplings in the TM5/6. That’s probably going to be my first recipe when I have it. It’s coming to my consultant first, then me. I haven’t heard anything yet, but I’m getting impatient.
