Babies and Kids / Re: 'Eat Your Greens' Little Cakes
« on: April 27, 2013, 01:10:35 am »
I've just been reading this post as love these little cakes and quite a few of you have referred to the hidden vegie pasta sauce. Did anyone make this in TM and can share the recipe?  :)

I think you're right Selena as it only happened when I started doing slightly less in my nut butters.
It doesn't do it when there is nothing at all in the bowl though. When I peered in when it was doing it with hummus this morning, again a smaller quantity, I wondered this myself. It's almost as if the edge of the blade hits the food which is up against the side occasionally and gives this intermittent screeching.

I know- the person who sent new blades wasn't the one I spoke to yesterday when I told them the problem is still happening. He kind of reasoned that there's not much else it could be and that maybe it's not a problem??? I'm really not sure.

I've got 6 months left on warranty so no massive hurry, but I'm really not sure if I should keep grinding away when it's sounding like a whipper snipper!

Yes I called them back and they are not sure what it would be. The said the only option is for me to drop it out and they'll check all of the functions. They weren't convinced it was a problem. My concern is that it's only just started happenng.

I'm wondering if anyone else making nut butters or the like experiences this?

Did it sound like it was a problem to you?

Hi there

I have uploaded to Youtube.  http://youtu.be/pqJ8aVWf87o

This sound is after 40 seconds of the usual loud nut grinding sound (unfort I had to stop half way through as bubs needed me).

I've tested it out some more today and it did NOT do it with 250G of straight ice, but it DID do the same noise with 250G of frozen banana + coconut ice blocks + pecans (was making icecream). Is generally doing it with nut butters all the time now. Doesn't do it when I just turn it up to 9-10 with nothing in it. Doesn't do it when juicing either.

Would appreciate opinions.

Thanks :)

So head office sent me new blades but it's still making the worrying sound.

I am wondering if anyone else hears this sound when making things like nut butters, crushing ice etc

I've got a movie file I am trying to attach here but I'm not sure how to do it. Anyone know?

Hi All

I've had my TM for a year and a bit and I'm noticing a TERRIBLE noise when I'm using it on high speed for certain things like nuts (making nut paste) and an ice frappe drink I made yesterday and coconut ice cream (also made with ice cubes). I've made nut paste twenty times and never noticed this, but the other day I made a half quantity so wondering if that could be it. Same with the drink and ice cream - I only made small amounts.  

But it's not the ice/ hard things, as it's fine for my morning juice in which I put 5 ice cubes with lots of fruit and veg + bit of water.

It is the most horrible grating sound a bit like a gardener pruning hedges or something. It actually makes you cringe. Not like the usual very loud sound of nuts chopping which is fine, but this is a really grating sound.

Has anyone else experienced this? I think I should start recording it.

Tips and Tricks / Any brushes recommended for cleaning TM?
« on: December 04, 2012, 06:19:32 am »
I'm looking for a brush that can get into the blade angles and also scrub the base without pulling the blade out If possible. I make porridge every morning and the milk kind of sticks to the bottom a bit no matter what I do. Am sick to having to pull the whole thing apart to clean it.
Any product reccomendations?
Thanks

Recipe Requests / Almond butter
« on: October 24, 2012, 01:47:40 pm »
Hi there

I've made the vegetarian nut paste quite a lot and love it

I just want to make plain almond butter

Iv'e only found this recipe which seems a little ..... odd.  has anyone tried it and has it worked? Are you meant to Keep the timer going and temp at 37 while you carry out the rest of the step?

http://tebasileskitchen.blogspot.com.au/2011/02/raw-almond-butter.html

What would happen if I just grind up the almonds for few mins?

Thanks
