Hello Everyone!

[Lilli33]

Welcome. As a fellow soon to be TC owner,( just over a week to go)  I know where your coming from. I guess I wanted to join because of the friendship and knowledge in this style of cooking. I think the thermomix is a superior machine, have no affiliation with TC and have no intention of getting inside info or recipes etc back to TC.

I know I will have to tweak recipes here for my machine, and once I up,lad recipes I've found that adapted well, you TMX owners will have to do the same. Ultimately the tastes should be the same and be ale to be shared and enjoyed.

I don't think any TC owners are here to compete, or say they are better. I don't believe TMX owners need to defend their product or why they bought it etc. I know the rules clearly state this is independent of TMX , but as it has been the only machine of its style, it has naturally only has TMX owners, plus sellers involved.

Maybe the name will change one day, but for now I'm enjoying being part of a friendly cooking and recipe community. I'm trying some recipes with what I have now (which is certainly proving difficult with some of them, having no food processor as such) but loving the inspiration.

Thanks to all who are happy for us to be here and share cooking hints and tips for this great style of cooking. (my best friend has a TMX, so have seen it around for awhile... Just couldn't get hubby onside. She is thrilled for me, and I can't wait for Xmas. ) cheers and merry Xmas all.

Hi and welcome from another ThermoCheffer.  And Songria,  Please don't leave.
From what I read the forum is not affiliated with Thermo Mix.  It is quite clearly written in 1.2 of the Rules.
I lurked about for a while before joining (While I was still waiting for TC to be delivered) and noticed other TC owners on here.

I have always felt welcome here and if I am making other members uncomfortable I have not detected any tension from here on the "Sunshine Coast'.
More the opposite really.  No one is competing.  I think we are here with the same interest in cooking good healthy food using what we have and is within our budget.  And the desire to share and learn from like minded people.
Like Lilli33, I have shared a couple recipes already that I have adapted.  I hope that they will be used and further tweaked by TM, TC or even a Kenwood Cooking Cheffer if any are around on the forum.

Go Thermo Thingo's

welcome Songria. Its great to have some ThermoCheffers on the forum. and we all benefit by your presence. I think its great that you can also adapt the recipes to suit your machine (I have heard that the TC runs a little hotter) so just be prepared for some slight differences. The great thing about the TC is the price, and the price, and the price. The main benefit not to forget is the similar usage for healthy recipes by adaptation that will be good for you in the long run.

Hello Songria and welcome!  As an avid TMX fan I cannot envisage using anything else, but it is interesting to hear views from people who have other machines.  In fact, I would never have even heard of the TC if it wasn't for this forum as here in the UK the TC is a range of meat thermometers produced by Terraillon and not a cooking machine.  We only have TMX, Kenwood Cooking Chef and the Hotmix Pro as far as I know. 

As others have said, you will need to adapt the recipes here for your machine, but I am sure it will soon become second-nature.  Happy cooking!

What was reported?

the spammer Lilli33 

[judydawn]

We've had a mad spammer all afternoon/early evening Lilli - members report these things and then moderators delete the message.  We have certainly been kept busy today. I'll go around and delete some of the 'reported' threads too.

Ah thanks. Being a virgin member... I'm not up with it. That's guys.
