No, just put them in how they are.  You get a extra layer of creamy at the bottom.  Some of my muffin trays are big & when I use these with the pattie cases inside the tin the cheesecake filling can go outside the base of the oreo bikkie but it makes no more mess that a usual one.  If you were wanting to serve them without the pattie cases, use a muffin tray that fits the oreo exactly.

I just copied this from the NSW Fair Trading web page.


Manufacturers often provide a written warranty that promises:
•goods will be free from defects for a certain period of time
•defects will entitle the consumer to a repair, replacement or refund.

This is called a ‘warranty against defects’. It usually lists the defects covered and the period of the warranty.

When goods covered by a warranty against defects fail to meet a consumer guarantee, you can insist the manufacturer honours the warranty.

A warranty against defects is different from an ‘express warranty’.

‘Express’ warranties

Businesses often make extra promises - sometimes called ‘express warranties’ - about the quality, state, condition, performance or characteristics of goods. This may be in addition to the ‘warranty against defects’.

In doing so, they guarantee the goods will satisfy this express warranty.

For example:
 A supplier tells the consumer that a bed will last for 10 years. If the bed only lasts for six years, the consumer will be entitled to a remedy.

An express warranty may not be in writing and is a promise usually made to persuade you to buy the goods – it is different to a warranty against defects




My consultant, at the time I was considering purchasing my TM said to me in an email that "There is a 2 year comprehensive warranty against faulty manufacture but a life time expectancy"
I think that this is just like the express warranty mentioned by fair trading.  The hard bit is getting head office to do something about it if something goes wrong.  I think that they should just change the warranty to 10 years.  I got a free replacement blade from HO (see http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12139.15) & I think that is because I said something on the forum about it. 

When I emailed HO, the same info I said as to what was going on with my thermomix they said it sounded like my blades had released.  When I asked about how to protect the blades from releasing again they said "Just make sure you stick to the suggested sizes of raw vege’s frozen fruit and meat etc when chopping and not overloading the machine as the blades will take this additional strain to protect the machine".  I am really happy HO responded very quickly & replaced free of charge.  They didn't actually say that me, the user (overloading) was what cause the blades to release.  I certaintly didn't realise that I had been overloading my TM & I always follow recipies from here mostly & the EDC.  The only thing I would of been heavy handed on would be grating cheddar cheese because I never weight the amount. It's a big shock to system to think that I caused the problem by either overloading or not chopping the food small enough before putting it into the TM. It's not a mistake I am likely to do again.  I love my TM & cannot cook with it anymore!

Yes, thanks CC, that does sound very similar to to the link you posted.  Will contact HO.

I made this bread today for the first time, it was yum! I got all the ingredients from Coles, (already had yeast & quinoa) rather than me spending an hour looking for all the stuff I ordered online, click & collect, too easy.   

Julia, Yes that is the cheese sauce recipe I use.

Thanks everybody.  I found out about TM's when my food processor blew up & I needed to research for a new one.  I had a look on the TASTE website & found heaps of info about the TM & so got one instead.
