What have you made, but will never make again in the TM

[earth mumma]

Bedlam, I tried many different ways and find that the hand held beater works everytime and much quicker so I've just accepted that for me my TM doesn't like egg white beating, I love it for almost everything else though and use it usually 4x a day, sometimes more.

Scrambled eggs! What a mess it was so hard to clean Bimby after couldn't use her for a whole day as it took much soaking, cleaning, soaking to get the stuck egg off the bottom! Maybe if I could do it in the varoma? But never in the bowl again!

Scrambled eggs - cleaning is a pain. Much prefer to use a conventional pan.

Beating egg whites. I haven't tried heating the bowl yet. Might try some friands in it.

I agree that I prefer a hand-held blender for egg whites, rather than the TMX. I also have a couple of my-invention easy legume-based recipes that I've been making for years and find that when converted to the TMX, they are much more liquid and 'chopped' than my original version. Even though I'm using Reverse soft speed. I haven't quite ruled them out as 'never TMX agains' but they are on the 'maybe' list.

I also tend to whip cream by hand to give me time to judge the consistency. I've had butter too many times in the TMX because it is so quick at it!

I had legume trouble too, the tomato lentil pasta in the vegetarian book was bland and really watery and when I make the boys "cheesy pasta" (which is that awful all in one pasta and sauce packet mix) it is all watery and overcooked, I think the TM seems to need less fluid and that pasta cooks faster than usual- has anyone found that?

[judydawn]

Definitely needs less liquid and I'm always surprised at how quickly the pasta cooks too Jessiebean.

Jd have you ever cooked 500g of spaghetti? i only have done 500g of penne or shells

[judydawn]

No fundj, for just the 2 of us I would only do 200-250g and even then it is far too much. Someone must have done the full quantity though - anyone?

We love Quirky's lentil bolognaise, although we prefer it over rice and I usually cook it for 20mins once it's all in or they are still a lttle crunchy for my liking. Not watery though and very tasty and quick

Earth Mumma, I find that I let quite a few rice or lentil dishes cook a couple of minutes longer than the recipe says. I've come to the conclusion that I must like my food softer than other people seem to. I agree about Quirky's lentil bolognaise - I love it and it is a regular dish in our house.
