Cleaning doesn't worry me, but I feel sometimes like I leave more dough/batter in the jug that I could use.:

I've had mine 18 months :(:
I also don't love the noise, but apart from that it's great. I've started using a $2 silicon spatula to scrape out things that I don't want to waste anything of.
...i booked a demo..hehe
Ah I see what you mean - I do find doing the turbo forwards and on reverse does really help with flinging stuff to the sides.:
I love it for the ease of making school snacks.
I can make up heaps of snacks & freeze them. Its so much cheaper aswell.
I love that summer is coming up I can whip up sorbet or fruity dream in minutes.
I don't love how nosiy it can be but thats my only complaint really.
I am seriously thinking of upgrading next year once I see if there is any bugs etc
What are your thermomix staples? Eg ideal i would make everything from skratch and only need to go to the fruit n veg shop and butcher, and then just need to go to the.supermarket like once a week.. so what must be on yoir pantry?
Hmmm....not sure how I'm feeling about the release of the new model. My TM 31 got delivered on August 14th...basically 1 month ago.
I actually prefer the look of mine compared to the new one.
There is an opportunity to check out the new one at a local event today...not sure if I will bother.
I find cooking mince makes it hard to clean. Seems to stick to the bottom and I have to put in a fair bit of elbow grease and bicarb to get it clean...even then it's not perfect.
Doesn't help that my consultant hasn't delivered my brush yet....
Still need to fully get in the swing of using it but have made some great, easy meals so far :)
TT40, we're eating Failsafe atm, so our choices are very limited, but my TM staples are mayonnaise, no-tomato sauce, magic sauce, porridge, boiled eggs, leek and potato soup, split pea and veg soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken and brown rice soup, chicken meatballs/sausage rolls, magic bean cake, steamed, shredded chicken (for sandwiches)...
Pholi I think she means pantry staples...
TT it can be a bit daunting to be started when you're cooking from scratch. I found it easiest to do it bit by bit, so as you use something up, replace it.
Some of the biggest things we go through frequently are bakers flour, yeast, raw sugar, coconut sugar, coconut oil, olive oil, macadamia oil... Heaps of fresh stuff, fresh herbs... Cheese, vegemite, deli meat... Cream (for my own butter), eggs... Tomato paste and crushed tomatoes...
I'm yet to start on the tomato stuff, I'd love to work out my own paste, sauce, etc. The seasons just haven't aligned with getting fresh tommies!
Yea, sorry pantry staples.
My other thing is I'm keen to see how hard it is to source the raw ingredients in my area. A lot of people have aid it's limited and ordering online or joining a coop is the way to go. So keen to sus that out before hand too.
Jahzara, I think you qualify for a second bowl and blade combo because of when you got your thermomix.
Ok, sorry!
But it really depends what you are going to make, in that case. Either way, enjoy your journey of discovery. :)
I'm after some help with a recipe: I am wanting to make chicken filo but how do I make the fillings??
I'm just learning to cook meals different to meat & veg
Is it like a pie-ish filling only not so wet?
Girls. I have my very own thermie on the way as of today :loveshower: I can finally join in here instead of reading along ha ha ha. Went to a demo last week, she came out to my place yesterday to show it to my husband who was already pretty much on board. I have wanted one for ages and was going to wait another year or so...but who knows what the price of the new one is going to be when I'm ready. So may as well just jump in now!
Deleted my post. No point. I'll just have to wish from afar.
Hi Hetty, yes apparently I do qualify. I received an email about it. I think its due to arrive in november. 😊
