Hi, I'm new to this forum but just bought the Aldi Ku Chef. I've never used a thermo mixer, they are out of my price range at the moment so the Ku Chef seemed like a good alternative.

So Far... The recipe book isn't great, especially for first time thermo mixer user. They do include a DVD instruction disc which shows how to make a curry (probably the easiest thing to do).

I've made rice pudding, smoothies, curries, healthy chocolate balls, lots of baby food, boiled vegetables & pasta and made bread from scratch. I haven't managed to get the steamer to work properly yet, there are a lot of bits to it and I haven't had the patience. I have had the three burned spots when making the rice and curry but they were small and washed off easily, it didn't happen every time so I need to play around with it to see what I'm doing wrong. The bread was really easy to make, that surprised me. I want to make pasta & pizza dough next. 

I need to experiment with more recipes. I tend to burn things when I cook so I was hoping this ku chef will help me to become a great cook. I'll keep you posted!
