Accurately weighing ingredients
« on: November 03, 2008, 12:27:16 am »
Today's tipp from Germany is about using the Weighing facility on the TMX

Basically, if you need to weigh small amounts - use the MC and add small amounts - best to weigh into a container rather than tipping into the TMX bowl.

For larger qunatities - just place a bowl on top of the TMX lid and weigh ingredients in that before adding to the TMX bowl.

Also... don't put the TM on top of its power cord... it throws out the measures.

Good call - I found this out at the weekend.  It really does alter the poor old machine's ability to weigh.

.....especially 'helpers'.  (As I found out to my detriment.)
"Why does this stupid machine keep changing it's weight?"said I.    ??? ???
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

This is also a great tip - have used it lots since I read it here.
FAILSAFE and Dairy-free cooking is so much easier with a Thermomix!
