coconut balls  or  date slice  you dont need and oven to cook them
tell me if you need the recipe and l can email to you
l have also made cupcakes in the micowave too
good luck

You know,  i"m feeling very stupid that I didn't consider the microwave...  I am going to see if I can find the instruction booklet and see if there might be some recipes in there to get me started.  HOnestly!  People talk about a TMX being a waste of money...  but reallly I think the microwave is the biggest waste.  All I ever do is reheat my cuppa and defrost meat.  Time for me to make better use of my tools!!!!!

I still make peas in the m/w 500g peas 1 small thinly chopped onion a good drizzle of olive oil high cover.10min
Salt and pepper after cooking

Same with board beans and beans

Still use it for sushi rice, only when i need more than the TM can cook
Pre cook potatos b4 baking
I cook my porridge in winter. i have tried in TM once and once only is enough 

[Meagan]

Fundj we have porridge in the Tm every morning! Once you tweak it to your needs it is great

[fundj&e]

i only make 1 serve of porridge

[Meagan]

Well that makes sense

[Denzelmum]

What about chocolate truffles in baby and kids section?  Or Chelsea's wrap?

molly do you a pie maker 

[Molly]

Nah.  My silly little kids hates pastry!!  WOn't touch it. 

In an update.....  big news is....  we have bought a bbq!!!!  Tonight we're having a roast chook and all the vegies.   

As we're in a rental and we've had this oven fixed 4 or 5 times,  it seemed the sensible thing to do.  And we needed a bbq for our house we'll be building next year....  so......  we got it now.  Hooray!!!

I made Thermomixer's chicken croquettes yesterday and OH MY GOODNESS they were a huge hit!!  Unfortunately,  there are none left for school.     So,  I'll have to make some more... and for my niece's 5th birthday party as well.

Good work Molly! It takes a bit o watching to get the temps right to start cooking - keep an eye on the thermometer but it does work

Molly maybe have a look at the TM Rawlicious booklet. Yesterday I made some Cinnamon Bars (well I made balls) and they are quite nice. They don't require cooking and are very healthy. You may also find some recipes in the Vegetarian cookbook.
