Chookie - it did cross my my mind to transfer to oven but in the exploration of bread making thought I 'd try the obvious!!

knocked it down, and started the two hours again, but it is a binner, did not rise again, and is not sounding hollow on tapping.
will be pantry wraps for lunch tomorrow!

OOPs!!  Must remember to turn the power point on - just had my loaf in for hour, bread has risen but thought it looked very uncooked still. SC still cold!! beautifully risen bread though!!!

Thanks for confirming my initial plan of action Chookie, however when I pulled the loaf from the SC I realised that if I wrap the baking paper around the base (which had cooked nicely) and just exposed the top and kept it higher in the oven I might solve the problem of the pallid looking top = Voila!!
I can see me kneading the dough once we get home from school, "baking" ready for lunches the next day!
I really want to try a raisin and walnut version now, and I didn't get to it today but will be trying the "Bill Granger" cinnamon scrolls this week. And also an apple raisin and walnut version of them.
Thanks to this forum for all these wonderful and clever tweaks.

Wow - fabulous - best loaf yet. Using Basic Bread in EDC
The crumb was a bit cake like - I had added a bit too much water I think.
Will try again during the week.

Have just made this in my old monier crockpot, but it has risen so much I can't fit it under my wall griller, can I get the oven up hi and lie the loaf with the top facing the fan?

Has anyone used their dehydrator for this?
Tenina mentions in this recipe that you can use a dehydrator, I am concerned that I will loose all the caramelisation from the baking of the vegetables, or is it that as the temp is only 160 there is no caramelisation?
I guess I just put all the chicken skin, frames and vegies in the oven for the initial 40mins (to cook the vegies) and then in the dehydrator? As the chicken is already roasted, could I use varoma'ed vegies instead of having the oven on for 40mins?
Thanks

Update : I have just had a play and carefully pulled the button out (using the edge) and all seems fine now!!

Hello Bronwyn How did you go with your buttons, I am mid way through an apple and chilli jelly and the varoma button is not clicking in, and the rubber is staying pushed in. Of course it happens on a Sunday!!
Thanks Janet

Our mechanic also warned us to steer clear of the European cars, and when we bought our 2007 subaru outback 2years ago he was most impressed. the Subaru's are also very economical, we tow a Cavalier camper trailer and whilst it would be wonderful to have all the grunt of the bigger klugers etc (that pass us on the highway towing massive caravans) I baulked at the amount of petrol they would use on the school and supermarket run in town. the only thing might be the size of the back seat is a little tight for 3 adults, we only have 1 preteen so no problem. A number of friends have the forrester ranging from early 2000 models to late 2010 all very happy. They tend to hold their value well too. - all in to the mix. I wish you well, it can be a mine field, we had to choose quite quickly and were fortunate with our Outback being on price and available at the time.

I have had one for about a year. I even took it camping at NSW South coast for NYE hols. Only if it is in direct sun or temp over 35 was it a problem. I have also started freezing batches in advance - I buy 1 kg butter blocks from Costco, whilst the bell is empty I line with cling and fill. I cover and freeze the little portions. I found that I always had butter too hard just when I needed to refill.
Love it, just got to be consistent in warm weather to make sure the water is fresh and cool. I got mine from a mail order lady in Western NSW.

I seem to have 2 usernames JGray and JE1202me so when our computer did a blue screen of death I requested my password and now I have the second username!  I have found this forum a wealth of tips and despite my longevity as a thermomix owner I have not branched far away from the standard family meals. Now I am more experienced I have begun converting our favourite non-thermie recipes and really use this forum to make sure I am not about to make a mess of things. I have little moments though like when I made some mint jelly an hour before my parents arrived for a roast! I love ( and so do all my work colleagues) the chia and walnut balls and the Magic bean chocolate cake. My 11 yr old son loves the Butter chicken from the indian book and blitzing up timtams to put on the vanilla icecream I make. He also loves the EDC fruit sorbet and lemonade. My DH devours the sweet chilli sauce. Thanks for a wonderful forum. Janet

Hi, following on from reading Cyndi O'meara's book and Nourishing traditions I have moved back to butter, with coconut oil for most things and macadamia oil:
As with everyone else there are multiple points of view. the following is from Wikipedia based on a very quick reference search for this reply.
Macadamia oil has become very popular in Modern Australian cuisine.[dubious – discuss] It is an excellent frying oil due to its high heat capacity. Several properties of macadamia oil are particularly important for use as an edible oil:
It contains up to 85% monounsaturated fats
has an unrefrigerated shelf life of one to two years
a smoke point of 410 °F (210 °C)
Has more oleic acid (a good fatty acid) than olive oil. Anti-inflammatory properties may help with memory and asthma.
