I have just made this icecream (actually yesterday afternoon) and the bugger won't freeze in my deep freezer!!! I reduced the salt by 50g and put in 1.5 tsp of salt just in case it was too salty but to be honest I don't notice it much. Just mystified why it won't freeze - its now 24hrs later. Maybe I'd better check the thermostat or my freezer is over full???
I've had my TMX for nearly a year now and use it at least 4 times a weeks (between using the BBQ and the oven for cooking). In the last week I have come to notice my blades are squeaking when being used on speed 3 and lower. I have done the test to make sure that there is no problem with free wheeling (as discussed in some other threads). The sound seems to be coming from between the plastic spline and the plastic base with the two locator prong things. So its below the rubber seal so its not on the food side of the blades. Does this require any lubrication or is it thinking about packing it in? I do tend to pull the bowl and blades apart regularly to wash as I feel I get a better clean when cooking things with fats or proteins in it.
I probably should have used the basket - I made the rice salad that way. It was mostly due to it cooking in the stock with onion and garlic, that I did it that way. I'm guessing it would still work with those flavours in the bottom of the jug.
I am cooking brown rice in the bottom of the jug for a rice pie. Guess it starts off like cooking a risotto. But I am finding it is taking a very long time to cook and it is still hard in the middle. I also found this when I tried aborio rice when cooking a risotto.
Done a bit more with it and used the varoma for the first time the other day to do the chicken normandy with mashed potato and steamed veges. Just have to tweak the steaming times for the veges - I like my broccoli with a little bit of crunch and when it turns a lovely bright green! The chicken turned out well - not over cooked, which I assume is still possible when steaming
I have just joined the forum but have been looking through recipes for a few weeks now. I got my thermomix delivered 3 weeks ago and have probably used it 2-3 times a week so far as I'm still getting used to it. I have to make sure that I don't just use it for casseroles and sorbets as that is really all I have done so far! I'm yet to steam anything!
