I think the oven dying is a good excuse to do the whole kitchen.  We have been talking about it for years.  I haven't tried to chicken fillets yet but my Lovely wife cooked the meatloaf recipe from the basics cookbook.  YUMMO!  Rolled with egg, cheese and ham in the middle and wrapped with bacon and steamed on the varoma.  I love useing the varoma!! I made crumbed lamb cutlets last night.  Blended bread crumbs,parsely, spices,  in the TM, then gently fried them in a pan while using BIMBY to steam cubed potatoes and strips of carrot, broccolini and frech snow peas.  I am trying not to sound to Biased but they did taste so much better steamed in the varoma than our usual metal pot steamer.  Havedn't missed the oven yet.  Although not sure where I am going to bake my bread this weekend.  Might have to use the camp oven in the backyard.  I could try steaming the brad in the Varoma - Now That's a thought.

It's not the same - but if you toast it then the Varoma bread is good.

Some have tried it with fruit and reports are good.

Fruit bread is YUMMO!!!  I make it as a treat here.

Scatman, some customers have used their BBQ with hood as an oven when they're oven's gone on the blink.

I certainly would be lost without my outside oven whilst I'm waiting for a new one to be installed.  Even when it's in, I will still do the roasts outside so that my lovely new oven remains nice and clean just for baking. I even cooked some scones and quiches out in it the other day so life hasn't changed around here just because my inside oven door won't shut.

I'm not a big baker - love making bread, but we don't eat enough so all the sourdough starters die after a few weeks.  Don't do cakes much, don't do bikkies, boring.... but could easily live without the oven.

Bread and butter pudding - yum - do it in the Varoma.  Baked custard - yum - do it in the Varoma.

There is a little something going on between me and my Varoma.

Be careful Thermomixer, or it could be something growing between you and your varoma!!

Had to give up on cooking - my belly is standing between me and the Varoma - have to do a Cyndi diet without the TMX until I can reach my Varoma.

Thermomixer - I tried the rolled chicken fillets tonight .  Wow!  Yum Yum Yum!

I flattened out the thigh fillets, spread some Thai pesto, a strip of bacon and some cheese.  Rolled it up in foil and put it in the Varoma.  I had brown rice steaming in the basket, six chicken parcels and some carrot and zucchini julienne.  I set the timer for 35mins on speed 2 and sat down to have a beer while waiting.

 I plated up and we tucked in.  I gave each a rolled thigh,  didn't bother to cut it into round slices - couldn't wait for it to cool down.   

Kids all commented on how good it tasted.  I opened the parcels on their plates so as to allow the juices to help flavour the rice.
I was similar taste to a chicken kiev without all the crumbs and butter.   

This will definitely be on our regular menu.  Might try a sundried tomato and capsicum pate next time.
We are using our Varoma more and more (oven still not fixed) and love the versatility and how easy it is to clean afterwards.

P.S My crew gave me a suggestion in plating up.
 
* Put the rice in small mold and use it to make a stack in the middle of the plate
* roast capsicum puree poured around plate with vegetables juilenne
* stuffed and rolled chicken thigh sliced and fanned around the rice stack
* Garnish. 

Glass of savingon blanc.

Dark chocolate mousse for dessert

then  ;) ;)   :D

Great suggestions - glad you liked the idea - it is versatile.

Hope that's a Whitlands sauv blanc  ;)

Has anyone tried freezing these? Just got the thermomix and want to spend the weekend cooking and filling up my freezer for easy weekday meals.
