Thanks so much for the quince recipe achookwoman - will let you know how I go!  Wonder - you made me feel much better knowing I'm not the only one!! x

yes a bit of a shock - and the smells were so tantalising that everyone was dying to try it but I had to cook it for another hour and a half! - everything I did seem to be right - varoma temp - tmx wasn't stopped nor was the temp reset...chook was just under 1.3kg...after extra hour and a half it was perfect and the sauce consistency divine - but we ended up giving the kids scrambled eggs and we had left overs!!...going to have it cold today - so not all lost as now I don't need to cook on Mothers Day!! 

Am wondering though if there may be a problem with my temperature gauge on the tmx?...this is where I'm in trouble being in Singapore - who would I go to??

I'm new to this forum, new to thermomix and live in Singapore!  my husband gave me one for my b'day in march (after much bugging that all my friends in melbourne seem to have one and I loved the sound of it!) - unfortunately he couldn't buy it in Australia for warranty purposes so we had to get it from the Malaysian distributor - amazing he can get away with his poor service - he had the machine fedexed to me and told me he wouldn't come to Singapore (only 45 mins away) to give me a demo but to look for one on You Tube!!!..and he never replies to my emails with questions on how to use it!

So until I went back to Melbourne for Easter I had no idea how to use it - my friend who is a distributor gave me a demo and now I'm hooked on beetroot salad!

Anyway - the reason I am writing is to say I am in the middle of making this divine chicken - it's now in the bag in the varoma dish and smells amazing - can't wait to eat it tonight!

I love this forum - now don't feel as worried about not having my local thermomix distributor close by!

Thanks!
