Welcome to the forum Fishy01. :)
There are many recipes that you can steam rice whilst cooking another meal here is just one of those recipes.

The Tikka Paste recipe can be found here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5295.0)

Welcome Fishy01. If you didn't receive a thermos server with your machine you are obviously not from Australia.

I just noticed that Fishy01 is from Australia.

Berringamababe that is wrong. Did you make enquiries about it?

Hello and welcome.
Cookie, I thought thermoservers were only available occasionally as a special promotion and not all the time, just like the second bowl special that comes up once or twice a year.

I thought you got a thermoserver when you had your first demo? That's when I got mine

I'm like Kath. I thought you received a thermo server when you had your demo and bought your machine. I've had my machine for 5/6 years so am not too sure. I just made the assumption. ( I can hear a friend, saying 'never assume Cookie. )

Did you ladies who didn't get Thermservers actually host your delivery demos?  Cookie1 and KathD are right - you get a Thermoserver then.  The 2.2 litre T Server is available year-round.  Kimmyh, the special Thermservers (1 litre round  or the oval 2.5 litre) are only available for short promotional periods.

I didn't have a demo I just bought a thermoserver type thing from eBay for $30, I even told the poor rep to just drop it to me at work.  Of course she insisted to do a demo, but I declined my sister in law had her thermomix already . My DH, DD and I where her 3 demo guests when the rep did the demo and the thought of that disgusting bean pasta still haunts me YUK!!!  the demo really didn't do the thermomix justice I cook lots and my food processor died so I replaced it with a thermomix. (I have had mine for 4 years and bought my daughter hers for her 18th birthday).

Hello Fishy01, welcome to the forum.  How are you going with your machine now, things working out better for you?  If you follow the recipes on here you can't go wrong but you will benefit from having a demo, even moreso I think because you've already been using it.
