Introduction - newbie
« on: November 22, 2010, 09:20:34 am »
Hi

Got my Thermomix last Wednesday, bought it without a demo. Had to have it. I'm in the middle of Kitchen renovations and haven't had a stove or cooktop for a couple of months. Been using the BBQ, microwave and a second hand electric frying pan. New kitchen still several weeks away.
Got desperate to make a cake on the weekend, so I made a steamed carrot cake. I love carrot cake, but never make it because I can't be bothered grating all those carrots. So easy in the TM. I used an oval dish to steam it in the Varoma. Lined and covered with GladWrap. Would have been better cooking it in two batches as it was so deep, so took over an hour. However it tastes great.
Tonight I wanted to make LambBurgers, but had no buns. Love my bread maker but it's not good with small dough quantities so used the TM to make 4 burger buns and cooked them in the elec frying pan. worked very well.
My only problem is getting past my 13 yo who is busy making slushies and ice mocchas.
I've never been a good rice cooker, but am perfect at it now.
Going to become a demontrator in the new year here in South Australia. Can't help myself. I have to tell everyone about wonderful toys like this.

Good luck with it all, Colleen. You should still have a demo - it'll be fun.

Hi Colleen, welcome to the forum. Where in S.A. are you.  Sounds like you are good at improvising and I hope your kitchen isn't too far from being completed although now you have your TMX who needs a kitchen  ;D ;D

Welcome to the forum Colleen - I hope that your renos move along quickly so that you are able to make full use of your TMX in 'comfort'.

Hi

I'm in Mt Pleasant. It's a very popular town, there's one in every state. :) but our one in South Aus is a great place to live.

Welcome Colleen. The Thermomix would be an answer to your prayers when you are renovating.
I think you are right about there being a Mt Pleasant in every state. Happy Thermomixing.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
