Hi Everyone,
Does the butterfly make that much of a difference? (Apart from whipping cream and eggwhites that is) I've used it a couple of times but thought it was just something else to wash up.  Also - I always tell my customers to remember the number 4. Don't use butterfly above 4 and for salads use speed 4 for 4 seconds.  Probably TMI.....

I think that it helps with sabayons/zabaglione to get air and volume into the mix.

Also, for cooking some larger chunks to stop them getting caught up.

Think it is useful.

half filling jug with milk - which is sitting nicely in the machine, I glance down and wonder to myself why the bottom of the jug IS STILL SITTING ON THE BENCH!!!! [


Bwhahahahahahahahaha I was just coming in here to post the same kind of thing (not necessarily in this thread though LOL). I decided to make pikelets for the kids for school morning tea so I dump in the flour, milk powder and eggs and then look for the MC so I can measure water and realised the base and blade are sitting in the dishrack!!!! Damn DH who washed up las night and obviously put the bowl in the TMX base without putting it back together. Flour is really hard to get out of the holey bit where the blade base sticks into! Oh well, the feet of the TMX got cleaned this morning..

No more using the TMX for one week! :'(
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Mrs T still refuses to use the Bimby and so if it has been washed she never attempts to reassemble it.  Once she put the blade in like it was properly set up and I had everything leak out the bottom while I was adding ingredients.

Now she just puts all the pieces in a pile.  :-)) :-))
