Suggestions and Complaints / Re: Mincing meat problem
« on: March 17, 2013, 04:25:36 am »
Has anyone made sausage meat/force meat in the TMX?

I have a recipe book about making sausages and would like to adapt some of the recipes. It would be nice to know if it has been tried before.

Hello MM,

Try the TMX Online Shop. There may be something there that would suit your style of cooking. Otherwise just Google Thermomix recipes and you can select from hundreds of recipes from all over the world. I've started my own collection of recipes from the internet that appeal and will keep adding to the list and trying them out. When I have one I particularly like I print it out and put into a book of plastic sleeves. I've even had to resort to separate categories.

A belated Haere Mai, MM from a Kiwi Granny living in Perth. I've also visited Denmark where Princess Mary is well-loved. It's a beautiful country.

Glad to know you're enjoying your TMX. I'm making wonderful marmalade these days with fruit from my own trees and looking at dried apricot jam next.

Yes, that's the recipe I used. It suggests a dehydrator for 15-16 hours or an oven on 100c for 3-4 hours (which is what I did), so it's not really raw. I found it very tasty (I did the onion bread version, but there is a sweet version using coconut in place of the onion).

The taste and look is not unlike pumpernickel although sweeter. I found it difficult to cut on the same day, but the crust softens by the second day and it cuts more easily then.

I hope someone else tries it and gives their view on it.

Thank you, Goldfish. I think you're right about the travel bag. I just have to convince DH.

My cooking is going great, thanks. I'm about to try raw bread today.

Thank you all for the good wishes. No really nasty surprises after the second storm and we didn't even lose power so I could have used my TMX for dinner  :D

Thanks for the welcome, everyone, and your good advice. I'll definitely be looking at getting a travel bag. The rainy day turned out to a bit more than that when the big storm went through and we've been trying to clean up the property ever since, but I've still managed to sneak in time with my TMX. My marmalade is a great hit and, I think, the best I have made. Luckily I have a Seville orange tree in the garden so there is plenty of fruit just out the back door.

Now we've had to batten down for the next storm, so I'm having to plan dinner for tonight without using electricity, ie, no TMX  :(

Hello,

My Thermomix is only two days old and I'm enjoying finding recipes I want to make. It's raining today so I can play with my TMX without feeling guilty about not getting out into the garden. So far I've made the stock concentrate, bolognese sauce, bread and the next project will be butter.

We have two homes, one in Perth and the other is a farm in the SW of WA. I'm not sure where my TMX will be living, but I think it will be tempting to take it to and fro between both houses.

I can see that a TMX must be wonderful for households with a young (and not so young) family, but would be interested to hear about other older owners of a TMX and what they find most useful in terms of cooking for fewer people. Most of the time I cook just for the two of us, but often for six or so and occasionally for 15 - 20.

One of the reasons I knew the TMX was for me, was when I saw how much preparation I could avoid with my arthritic hands.
