Hi, Ciao! New Bimby owner. Feel like a new mother!
« on: October 28, 2012, 09:00:22 am »
I am English, living in Italy. After seeing the Bimby in a shopping centre in Italy I was so impressed I ordered one on the spot! A few weeks later it arrived and sat untouched in it's box until the lovely Italian lady arrived to demonstrate the wonders it could achieve.Unfortunately my understanding of the Italian language is limited and after an hour had passed the lady left me and then the panic began... I felt like I had been left with an abandoned baby and I had no idea on how to cope with it. The manual was all in Italian and I struggled to remember what button to push and what heat control to set. After trrying to reproduce the lemon drink I ended up with a chunky mess (tasty though!) because I didnt remember to use the basket to strain it! The next attempt was a chicken stew which mutilated the chicken (and bones!) as I had no idea what I was doing.
Thank goodness I have found your website! Now I can begin to learn how to look after my Bimby (strange how BIMBY sounds so much like the word for BABY in Italian!) Yes, I am a new mother now..I want to cherish and care for my Bimby..Most of all I want my BIMBY to care for me!

Hi Gertie, welcome to the forum.  It would be difficult being shown what to do by someone whose language you do not understand but perhaps now you have found our forum, you will be able to follow the directions on our recipes and start to work things out.

This may help you - an English manual for the TM31.

I don't know if you are aware or not but we have another member on this forum called Gertbysea whom some people refer to as Gertie so let's hope there is no confusion in that regard.

Enjoy your time on here and please do ask questions if you are unsure of anything.

Hi Gertie, welcome to our forum.  There is nothing we members love more than helping out new members with advice, support and recipes - especially those like yourself you are in love with their TMX but are not sure how it all works.  Judy's link will be invaluable to you, but always feel free to pop in here and ask any questions you want - we have all been newbies at one time so we understand how you feel.

Gertie, I forgot to mention Uni (how could I possibly forget (Fundj&e) Uni?)  She lives here in Australia but, as you can guess from her thread, is Italian so I am sure she can help with translations.
