Thanks, Jamberie! I didn't really mean actual black market (or even ebay!) - just that my sister would need to lie about who was going to be the end user for the Thermoserver. It just seemed a little ridiculous to me.

But, if there are other similar, cheaper and easily accessible options, that will be enough for me!

Thanks again!

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Thermoserver - sale restrictions?

Sorry if this is not the right sub-forum to post in, but I wasn't sure where was best. I had a query regarding a comment a sales consultant made, and I just want to clarify from you lovely experts!

I am a very happy TMX owner, who lives in Ireland. My sister is in Australia and just bought her own TMX last week after hearing me rave about it for the past 18 months (She nearly went the way of the Bellini Mark 1 and I kept her up to date with the reviews and feedback I found on this forum, so thank you for that!).

Anyway, I had mentioned to her that I really wanted a Thermoserver, as we can't get those here in Ireland, so she said to her consultant that she'd like to order a Thermoserver for me. Her consultant replied that she wasn't sure that she was allowed to sell them to someone overseas. My sister pointed out that she would be selling it to her, but the consultant maintained that she would need to check with her supervisor. My sister has not heard anything since, so I thought I'd post here to see if Thermoservers are so locked down that they cannot be sold with the knowledge that they may leave Australian shores? I know the TMXs themselves are sold under license, but this is a separate product, from what I understand.

Admittedly, the consultant is quite new, so it may be that she's just mixing up the restrictions, but I thought I'd solicit some advice from the forum - so, any suggestions? Does my sister have to resort to subterfuge and black market acquisitions?

GG :)

Hello! This is my first post here on the TMX forum. I've had my TMX a few months and like all of you, love it to bits! I've been following the Bellini saga with obsessive interest - it's better than most soap operas! - and have to agree with a PP about the meanspirited comments regarding TMX owners etc. My sister had asked me what I thought about the Bellini as, like many others, she can't afford a TMX at the moment, but at $270/$400, it's still an expensive purchase for her so I said I'd look into it, hence my new hobby of seeking out Bellini reviews!

I had a bit of a :o moment tonight, which I thought I would share. I noticed on another forum that Bellini has a link to its new recipe book (http://www.belliniappliances.com.au/electrical/documents/BTMKM510%20-%20Kitchen%20Master%20Recipes.pdf) ..... but when I had a look at it, not only were the recipes less than inspired and the ingredient lists are incomplete (no surprises there), but the photos they use to illustrate the recipes are stock images from an online repository (www.shutterstock.com)!!!

It amazes me that a company can provide a recipe for what is essentially a berry sorbet (p 5 of the recipe book) and yet include a stock photo of a peach sorbet (http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtml?searchterm=sorbet&search_group=&lang=en&search_source=search_form&x=15&y=10#id=60437506 .... which incidentally has been used on other websites - I did a quick google image search!). The other thing that amuses me is that this isn't even the nicest photo they could have chosen!!

If they can't be bothered photographing their own food, they can't have too much confidence in their recipes. Ha ha, what am I saying, the first cookbook was just a shambles and it takes longer than five minutes to put another one together.

ETA: Their photo on p4 not only does not resemble the recipe, but it's ripped off from a blog (which has great looking recipes!): http://www.mybestdaysever.com/sweet-corn-fritters/ Now that's shameless!!
