Title: Porridge sticking?
Post by: Thermomixer on January 25, 2010, 12:44:34 am

Hi Anne.
We love porriage in our house and have it most days in winter.  I find that if you turn the speed up a little to 1.5 - 2 then it doesn't seem to catch on the bottom as much and the covering the blades with water and turning up to speed 9 slowly seems to do the trick with the cleaning afterwards.  I do find that with most recipes the  ^^ function is the one that can cause things to stick.  I have found that if you look through the TM lid hole and you can't see the top of the food moving a bit then just crank the speed up a little. Also with the bread, being your winter you can prove it in your oven at 50oc with a teatowel over the top of your dough.  If you use the same tray that you are going to bake your bread on there wont be extra washing up to do.  ;D
Cheers

It seems to happen to brand new pots easily too for some reason. I read somewhere on here about cleaning with a 'Scotch bright no scratch' by placing under blades and giving a spin at about speed 2-3.  ;)

after i make my porridge i use the tmx next for chopping the food for the worm compost. i find stalks and egg shells etc are great for giving the tmx a good scrub and getting those stubborn pieces of porridge off
