Introduce Yourself / Newbie from Mona Vale Part 2 re MC!!
« on: June 16, 2012, 04:33:27 am »
Hello everyone - thank you so much for making me feel so welcome on this forum!!

I thought I would comment further about the MC - last night during the making of my chicken dish I watched the way the MC was behaving as the cooking was a similar situation to what I had done previously using the Varoma 100 deg. heat setting for the mac cheese - the MC moved slightly compared to the other time when the food erupted when the MC was pointing down.

Just for your info I read in the instruction manual page 16 about the MC it says . . . "place the MC into the opening in the lid with its opening showing upwards. Only when using the butterfly: position the MC with the opening pointing downwards."

I have been doing a lot of reading today on this very wet Sydney day - just love the "Devil of a Cookbook" for its wonderful recipes and photos of Tassie - what a beautiful place to live. Also the vegetarian book has some great ideas.

Even though I have only had the Thermomix a couple of days, I am finding I am thinking about food in a different way - have you found this?  Yesterday when making the chock chip cookies, the way the 250g hard butter was creamed together with sugars was just amazing, normally when doing it the other way in a mixer I always leave butter out before beating.

I know I will go on forever, so I will stop right here and just say I hope you are having a wonderful day, whatever you are doing.

Best wishes, SuziQ

Introduce Yourself / Newbie from Mona Vale, Sydney

Hi there - well I am finally the proud owner of a Thermomix and I am just so excited to finally get my hands on this wonderful machine.

Last night on my first venture into this new world, I cooked Macaroni Cheese as per book and inadvertently left the MC up the wrong way - well let me warn you not to do this as there was one huge eruption everywhere! I read the book properly this morning and read about the MC and yes I had it up the wrong way.  Lesson I won't forget too soon.

Today I cooked choc chip biscuits and tonight varied the curried chicken with veg and rice on the side - it was delicious!

I have been lurking around all of the web sites for approx three months to read a lot of the reviews and of course to see what the recipes are all about.

I have a lot to learn and knowing I can come to this site will be truly invaluable.  I very much look forward to communicating with you - I am located in Mona Vale on the northern beaches of Sydney.

Best wishes, SuziQ   :)
