After 6 yrs of thinking about it, I have bought my thermomix. Have had it a week, slowly getting into it and looking forward to learning new stuff.

Well looking through this forum will get you real enthusiastic to try all the recipes. Welcome! Where are you from? North, South, East or West?? :)

Welcome, I admire your ability to think for 6 yrs before getting a TMX. I lasted 6 months and love having mine as I'm sure you will too as you get the hang of it and start trying all the wonderful recipes you find or read about on this forum.

Welcome to the forum riokris - glad you finally bought one. Down the track you will wonder why it took you so long to decide to buy one but now you have it, enjoy ;) ;)

Hi there and welcome! Wow, a 6 year wait! I'm sure once you get used to having it, you'll wonder why you waited so long.

I live in Perth. Have been enjoying getting the hang of the Thermo, this weekend I am planning on trying out some cakes and sweet treats. I have made risotto a couple of times, the quantities are quite big, does anyone freeze risotto successfully? Have had conflicting info. any tips? Any good muffin recipes?

I haven't found that risotto freezes well. You can make little risotto balls that you roll around chunks of mozzarella and deep-fry. I think you could also make risotto 'patties' that you could shallow fry.
Try halving the recipes, they should still work
-
Any good muffin recipes?

These are 2 nice recipes from Trudy that I have done riokris - I particularly like the orange ones.

Better to make samller amounts rather than trying to freeze it - but you can use to make arancini as MJ suggests, or spread out and cut into pieces like polenta and then shallow fry it.
If you want to freeze and make risotto, then only half cook it, spread it out very well and cool quickly. Then you can thaw and finish the cooking later - that works fairly well.

Great idea Thermomixer, thanks!

Welcome riokris. I only make roughly half the quantity in risotto recipes and they turn out fine. Try fiddling around with the recipe and find what amount of rice suits you and then adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
