Not so much a fail as a rescue on the stovetop for me as well today. I was making some tomato relish and had it on reverse soft speed for 30 minutes to cook it down. Like you, I opened the lid to find reasonably raw onion and apple sitting on the top. I noticed during cooking that on soft speed when there's quite a lot of liquid in the bowl it doesn't move the stuff around on top AT ALL. I increased the speed to 1-2 and noticed that got things moving a little better. I was pressed for time and needed to get dinner on, so I just tipped the lot into a saucepan to finish reducing while I made risotto in my TMX. Thankfully risotto was a resounding success.
I think there are going to be some idiosyncracies that us newbies will learn as we go along. Lesson number 1 - don't just set and forget at first, keep checking to see what's going on there! That is definitely the lesson I learned today during my second day with my Thermomix.
Onwards and upwards 
True! Lesson one learned!

Lady Ricey, I have never cooked the butter chicken recipe from the EDC (I don't have that book) I always use the recipe from Fast and Easy Indian cookery book, which is delicious. Would you like me to pm you the recipe?
I think I accidentally PM'd you saying yes please! So that's a double yes please!

Oh no JaneeZee! At least my fail was only witnessed by my family, poor you! Still, if a Demo can have the occasional fail, I don't feel so bad.  . Thanks for sharing!

 have had my Thermomix for 3 days now, and had a major fail tonight making Butter Chicken from the EDC. The recipe says the chicken goes in last, pretty much, right? I added it through the hole in the lid, set the timer and went about my business. When the timer went off I opened the lid to find RAW CHICKEN sitting on the top!!!  very hungry and unimpressed family. I managed to save the meal by pouring it into a saucepan and continuing to cook on the stovetop, but it was a good lesson: take off the lid when adding meat and push the meat down so it will cook.  I'm not the only one to mess up am I? My confidence has taken a bit of a beating.  . Any other FAILs out there?

Just made these for lunch boxes and the kids love them! Had to substitute maple syrup for golden because that's all that was in the pantry . Still worked!

So far my husband has made the veggie stock, and he's making Ginger beer today. I've made milkshakes for the kids, pizza dough, fruity dream ( which was a disaster because I didn't pulverize the sugar first, d'oh! It tasted good but was crunchy/gritty and a cappuccino. This morning I made boiled eggs, easy! One thing I've noticed is that the recipes don't seem to indicate how many serves they produce. I'm sure I will figure it out with trial and error eventually. I am enjoying cooking again!

Hi Trish! I'm waiting for mine to arrive too, I am in Brisbane and mine is coming from Perth - so surely you'll get yours first?
Great idea about the shopping. I think I will have a pantry spring clean on the weekend ready for my groceries!

 hello all, I'm from Brisbane, just had a basic Demo on Saturday and my gorgeous husband agreed to buy the Thermomix as a Christmas/birthday/anniversary present, yippee! . Can't wait for it to arrive! I have four kids aged 10, 8, 6, 3 and I am trying to lose weight and looking to make a lifestyle change. Can't wait to get cracking!
