Bugger - I wish I saw this about 1.5hrs ago. I've got a flatish cake on my hands. Just as well its just the practice one for my daughters birthday at daycare.

I ended up doing about 75mins and ended up with a beautiful medium (in some areas medium well) moist "roast".  I also loved that the I could use the wine and captured drippings so easily to make gravy.  Even my fussy eatter was eatting the medium cooked meat which surprised me.

Thanks for the Chelsea.  I can't beleive you can get it so cheap online!

Thanks for that info.  I'm another one here that uses our own home grown eggs if possible.

On a side note aren't most store bought eggs pasteurised these days?

Just wondering how much people think I need to bump the cooking time up to get more of a medium to medium-well type of cooking.  Medium-rare is mooing too much for my liking.

That is a pity as I would have loved a carry bag to easily take it on holidays.  I've heard people mentioning some sort of brush for cleaning the blades too.

I can't say I was over impressed with my consultant.  I'd already decided on getting a thermomix when I had my demo and one of my guests also decided to purchase one.   My friend got hers dropped off with the quick usage demo, no food or anything and has not heard from her again.  I got the same usage demo when mine was delivered and a phone call a couple of weeks later.

At the time I know she wasn't on the forum as I'd asked her about it and it "wasn't her thing", which is fine.  I'm interested in having a varoma demo and getting some books but can't seem to get in contact with her.  I also think its wrong that you have to have a demo just to get a book - I know that's not the consultants problem but someone should take it on board.

Looks like I'm definitely buying Meat on the Menu now.  Everyone loved this one!
