Non Food Recipes / Re: Dishwasher Tablets
« on: January 21, 2014, 12:01:27 am »
Has anyone had any luck making tablets?  Mine are still soft after 2 hours.  Would adding a drop of water to each ice cube  space help it set or would that just deactivate the bicarb fizz? The OCD in me really wants neat little dishwashing tablets rather than powder  ;D

Introduce Yourself / Reluctant cook

Hi everybody,
I hate cooking. It is a chore I avoid at all costs and  only do it because I have kids that need to eat! So my kids were taken aback when I announced I was going to buy a Thermomix without having been to a party/ demonstration. I paid for it knowing it would be delivered  in time for when I got back from my holidays just before Xmas.
Well- I have not stopped cooking for 2 weeks! My consultant said I have cooked more in 2 weeks than she has in hers! I love love love it. I have made jams, breads, risottos, sorbets, valoutes, soups, gnocchi.... And on and on. Everything turns out perfectly- finally no more smell of burnt meals or disasters in the bin!
So if you are thinking about getting one and HATE cooking- I can highly recommend them lol! Be careful though- I am now inspired and have just ordered a gazzillion Tupperware containers to organise my pantry better. I have become an advocate for eating whole foods and tending toward becoming an organic hippy! I can now be found in health food shops buying Rapadura and Cacao wafers (what the?). A lovely sunny Sunday yesterday saw me asking stall holders at the local Farmers Market if they use pesticides/ fertilizer on their produce and asking the egg man how free range his chooks were and were they fed antibiotics?
I am waiting for my chocolate mousse to chill and spending time on here looking up recipes! Unheard of! Mcdonald's will be going broke!
I made Nesquik before work this morning (saved a few bucks before walking out the door) and am about to make my own dishaeashing tablets/ washing powder (save even more).
What a clever machine!
Look forward to interacting with everyone here and learning even more about this whizz bang machine. I love it  ;D

I got my Thermomix for myself for Xmas (Dec 22nd received) and the MC was glazed and had a shattered in appearance  within 2 days. I had my demo on Saturday night and told my consultant then  and she has ordered me a new one. My Thermie has not been anywhere near my dishwasher yet (I am babying it!) and the MC has not been dropped  on to floor etc.. Glad to hear it was not just me! Pleased with the service from my consultant :).
