Oh and does anyone know how I convert recipes to TMX recipes??

**BellyBelly** · April 24th, 2014, 01:59 PM

Thanks for all the great ideas, I am going to give custard a go. That'll win everyone over with the new machine, hahaha

I was shopping this morning but forgot vanilla bean, boo!

Liviam each recipe is different. Use your EDC as a guide. Find similar recipes in your EDC and do that. Otherwise contact your consultant that's what they are there for. Way to convoluted to explain in one post.

Kelly use cornflour if you have it. I never use plain flour in sauces. It just doesn't cool off the same.

Without vanilla? I loooove vanilla.

And yes I did get this because of your recommendations

Thank you thank you thank you

You can do any flavour. Jaffa. Caramel. Lemon!

Making Turkish Lamb Pide for dinner

Noms!

You could do chocolate with cocoa....

Just don't start with bread....or maybe it's just me that sucks at that.

**BellyBelly** · April 24th, 2014, 06:56 PM

LOL @ bread. I do want to try it. But the custard was a huge hit, I got DP to bring vanilla paste on the way home - AMAZING!

And great idea with the choccy custard, I have organic cacao, that would make it a tiny bit healthier!

Pumpkin soup in now, looking good.

Already cut myself on the blade though, doh that hurt like buggery!

**OceanPrincess** · April 24th, 2014, 07:18 PM

Yeah those blades are sharp!!!! When I first got mine I dropped my blade on my brand new thermomat and cut it. Yep. Winning moment, not.

Thermy day today: porridge, butter, rolls, soup, Anzac biscuits, risotto. Woo!

Is cooking with a TMX about confidence and practice because I am sucking at it big time!!

For the life of me I cannot get vegies right. Tonight I put 2 cobs of corn in the bottom, carrots and beans on the top of the varoma baskets. Water in the jug and had the TMX on varoma. 30 mins later they were still raw.

Does anyone know what I did wrong?

**Liviam** · April 24th, 2014, 07:33 PM

What is your favourite no fail recipe. I am needing some successes

**BellyBelly** · April 24th, 2014, 07:38 PM

What temp did you have it set to?

**Liviam** · April 24th, 2014, 07:48 PM

I had it set at 100

**BellyBelly** · April 24th, 2014, 07:54 PM

That is weird. Was your thermie hot? Could it be faulty? I steamed veg last night, 22 mins on 100 and carrot and broccoli in the varoma were perfect.

**Rouge** · April 24th, 2014, 08:01 PM

Needs to be varoma. And you need to have room for the steam to get through.

**~Kim~** · April 24th, 2014, 08:06 PM

Did you start with hot or cold water? - I usually start with kettle water
Does your lid fit properly? (if you put it on the bench, is it flat on the bench or bowed?)

My fave is Quirky Cookings Cashew Satay
Easy Ciabatta from the recipe community (but I don't shape or flip - I just blob. lol you'll understand when you read it)
Tomato Dahl from the EDC

I was also told that for stuff in the Varoma, you need to have the speed up high enough to make sure the steam is getting pushed through the middle hole - I think they said 2 or 3 was ideal. I have done corn on the cob in the Varoma and was about 18 mins I think, so 30 mins should have been well done.

**danita** · April 24th, 2014, 09:25 PM

I always use varoma temp speed 4 and about 17 mins for a whack load of veges.

Made a simple chocolate yogo type custard and it was devoured no left overs and we licked the bowl

I need to start experimenting with more all in one meals instead of just desserts.
