Oh ok. I dont think i have anything like that. Thx though CC.
I thought it would be something like this photo below. Obviously it is way too shallow. I'll keep looking of possible dishes at my house. I'll dig out the drawers and cabinets tmrw. Thx CC

Hi all.

I am trying to figure out how to line my pie dish with pampas frozen puff pastry. Is that the correct pastry type to use??

It seems the pastry sheet is not big enough. Is it ok to patch up?? And the top wont be covered fully too. As the pie dish is bigger than the pastry sheet. I am confused.

Can anyone post some photos?? So i sort of have ideas on how big and deep the pie dish should be?? Mine is currently round and quite shallow. Usuallu used them to bake quiche etc. My other one is way too big.

All help appreciated. Photos of the correct pie dish size as to this recipe's portion is most appreciated. Thx

For the little brush to clean the blade, i use the little brush that comes with baby's bottle brush. Normally the baby's bottle brush has this little brush that is used to clean teats. It is not as delicate as Helen's i admit. But somehow work for me.

Just an idea if someone already had the baby bottle brush lying around somewhere. 😁

I dont think u can buy the spatula on its own, halex. At least i didnt see it sold separately from the bakibg mat at my ikea. But i dont mind. Now i have 2 baking mats. The tmx one for myself and the ikea one for my DS4 whenwe're doing dough work for cookies and stuff. 😊

Yes. It is almost the same with all the way down. The grip part is a bit rounded. And the end bit is flat and flexible. It's very economical too, which is a plus.

Wow. A tmx will definitely be a helper. Can make a lot of stuff from scratch like the ladies above said.

I am going blank right now. But maybe a homemade a2 cheese and yoghurt?? Uuuuh, drawing a blank here. Too late at night. I'll recharge. Hopefully tmrw i'll have more ideas for you bfg :)

Hi all.
I am pretty sure the topic of the use of ikea spatula has been raised before. This is just my experience with some extra photos.

I dont know if tgere's anyone out there who is like me. I hate my tmx spatula from day one. I found it too bulky and i couldnt scrape food off the bowl efficiently. The only time i use the tmx spatula is to scrape something off while the tmx is on. Even then sometimes i just prefer to turn off tmx and scrape off the bowl with the ikea spatula.

Thus began my journey to find perfect spatula. Whenever i went shopping or anywhere really, i made a point to visit the kitchen stores/sections and checked out their spatula range.

Then 2 weeks into my spatula journey, i went to ikea with my son to buy some baking utensils. And lo and behold, there sat the spatula i wanted all along. It was bundled with the baking mat. $14.95 for spatula and mat. Very cheap.
And bery easily replaceable. I dunno if Ikea sells just the spatula itself. I didnt see any. Only the ones boxed together with the baking mats. :)

It is long enough to clean the bowl in one scrape. It is flexible enough to reach under the blade. And it is very easy to grip and very light and sleek.



I hope this help making your thermomix experiences more enjoyable :)

I am NOR. I think i might check out kitchen warehouse. I went there once, although didnt pay attention to the baking section. Was looking for a casserole pot.
So will go back again to check the range. Thx :)

Mine came out quite thick from tmx, and became thicker as it get cooled. The consistency was if you spoon it and drop it back, it came down as one dollop, and not running down. If that makes any sense... 

Hope urs turn out ok, wonder.
It was only my first time. So i am also not that experienced to offer any trouble shooting advice :)

Yes CP i think i went to that place in balcatta my first time last week. It is quite small. But already very overwhelming for me to browse such range. Didnt know where to begin... What to buy at the start. Or even if that place is moderately priced or expensive. Ended up not buying anything after an hour there 😌

Oh ok. Thx a lot kath. Now it makes sense. Was a bit puzzled yesterday. I find baking soothe me when i am stressed. Although my DH is not that into sweets. So ends up eating most cakes, cookies, cupcakes etc by myself. Mostly go to my thighs and bottom. Which lead to more stress, and then more baking.... It is a vicious cycle!!  😥😁
