Title: Hi from Melbourne
Post by: epiphany on November 20, 2012, 11:12:50 pm

Thought I'd de-lurk & say hi.

I'll start off by confessing I don't actually have a TMX...I received my ThermoChef today...but this forum is so interesting & you guys all seem very nice, so I'm sure no one will mind if I hang around  ;)

I have three kids & really enjoy cooking. I primarily bought my machine to do custards, sauces, & mayo...those things that need (lots of) stirring & heating all at once. But now that it's arrived, I can see it might be useful for a few other things. Like steaming fish, etc. Not sure yet if it's going to break my love affair with my Kitchenaid (because that's a seriously strong relationship there!) but it's definitely going to be helpful for what I bought it for originally. Plus it'll be fun to have a play with it.

Hope you're all having a great day & I look forward to testing some of your recipes & sharing a few of my own!

Hello epiphany and welcome to the forum! Of course we don't mind if you hang around ;D

I don't know how different the TC is to the TM, but I'm sure you will find a lot of good uses for it ;)

Hi Epiphany and welcome from another Melbournite.  As you probably know, we have a few Thermochef owners active on the forum, so you are not alone.

We would hate to break up a deep and meaningful love affair with your Kitchenaid - your Thermochef will simply expand on your love life a little!  Hope you enjoy your cooking with it.  Custards, mayos, etc are so easy with TMX and I should imagine they are just as easy with your Thermochef, you'll love what it can do once you have had a chance to experiment a bit.

Hi & welcome to the forum epiphany - we accept everyone here but there are certain rules our MM wants us to adhere to in regard to competition machines.  Just have a read of the rules (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3.0), particularly Rule 5.  Thanks for joining us and have fun with your machine.  Look forward to hearing what you are cooking, I'm sure it will be more than custard, sauces & may  ;)

Welcome to the forum epiphany.  Do tell us about your fun with the TC. I would imagine it will take a lot to win you away from your Kitchenaid. I don't have one, as I bought a Kenwood chef in the dim dark ages, but it now lives in the cupboard and I use a handwhisk when I need one.

Thanks so much for the welcome. I've already tried out a custard recipe from here (with a few modifications to make it a caramel custard) & am doing some steamed vege & mashed potato for dinner. All great so far, although I can see it's going to take a bit of experimenting to get used to this style of cooking.

And yes...me & my Kitchenaid are one of those long-term till-death-do-we-part things. My husband would be jealous if it didn't mean he got cake on a regular basis.
