Hi all

Thought I better update.... had a new varoma party the other night (been booked/resqueduled for months with sick me, then sick kiddies) we used my tmx and she didnt skip a beat!!! Guess she is cured!!!

New varoma party gets 2 thumbs up

K

yes i think I will...if it was a $10 appliance I wouldnt bother...but its not something I can replace if it gets burnt out...suppose I am lucky its just a 20 minute drive away and not a plane flight

Hi all,

My TMX is dead for the 2nd time in about a month....it has been to the TMX dr a couple of weeks ago, and was fine until today...

Ok first trip...lid was ultra stiff,just wouldnt turn on without heaps of pressure to shut the lid, scales jumped...pretty basic stuff, fixed no worries...

Today...plugged it in...every button is on. Press the scales button and it jumps to 1 minute then counts down really fast. Does the same for every button??? Turned it off and left it...back on same again (different power point, just incase)...so much for all the things I had planned to make for my youngest daughters birthday TODAY!

Any ideas?? Is there a reset button somewhere on it??? Or have I just got an ultra dudd...getting close to demanding my money back!

JD - enjoyed it immensely.  Only made 1/2 quantity for the 2 of us with the following changes.
My tomato was not very ripe or tasty so added 10g tomato paste to compensate.
Used frozen roasted red capsicum, only 17 large basil leaves and used Portuguese Chicken seasoning.  Cooked it for an extra 5 minutes, removed a small jugful of sauce to freeze for another use then thickened what was left using a cornflour/water mixture.
To shred the chicken, I turned it up to speed 1 for the last minute when the thickening agent went in.  I followed your advice and added some sliced snow peas after this and cooked a further minute.  Served it over thin egg noodles.

JuliaC83 - Only had whipping cream, so substituted 200g of that cream and 50g light Philli cheese instead of 300g thickened cream.
I used 3 fresh tomatoes and at the end of cooking, did what was suggested by others and threw in a cornflour/water mixture for 1 minute on slow speed to thicken. Served the dish with brown rice. All family members liked it and was very easy to make.
