List of Hints and Tips for New Owners

OMG!! I always put mine in dishwasher!! And it is even in our notes to say at demo - it is one of the best selling points! I say TMX can replace if it does corrode as they promote doing it!

Do you mean tapping spatula inside the bowl instead of on top?  If you tap your spatula on the side of the bowl to get food off the spatula and back in the bowl, you'll always tap exactly the same spot on the rim of the bowl.  Eventually, you could end up with a dent in that spot - not good for the seal etc.  So they recommend tapping the inside of the bowl gently instead.

28.   o spatula use Remove custard from bowl, demonstrating tapping the spatula inside the bowl for release of excess food. Never tap on the top, keeping the top edge of the jug in excellent condition.


This basically means if you are wanting to tap the spatula to get ingredients off it into the bowl don't bang it on the top edge of the bowl instead bang it against the inside of the bowl. To protect the metal of the rim from fracturing ( getting small cracks in it) and to not cause problems for the scales which are in the feet of the machine. Does that make sense?

[bron_fin]

I have tried tapping on the inside of the bowl but didn't see any custard come off the side.

The instructions are for consultants who would be more than likely making a custard when delivering the machine. I never do it with custard as it is too sticky lol. I usually scrape the excess off on the side of the rim then use the spatual to transfer to the bowl I am putting it in or just lick it off the spatula  (obviously when I am at home lol not delivering to a customer )

Oh now I feel stupid or really confused.  Am I tapping to release food from the bowl or the spatula?

[bron_fin]

Ok so have just re-read it very carefully.  Weird how you interpret things (or maybe it's just me!!).  Realise we are getting food off the spatula and it doesn't have some other magic power to make the bowl become non-stick or something.  You know like clicking your heels together (Wizard of OZ).  Anyway thanks for clarification!

[Meagan]

Yep we are talking off the spatula  wouldn't it be great if we could tap out spatula to make that happen - try wizzing on speed 8 with some water above the blades for 10-20 seconds that is pretty close to a magic wand

LOL - lucky we're not trying to explain to Isi     Yeah, I was confused when I first saw them doing it at a B2B class - couldn't understand the big deal at first.  But then after 2 or three times the penny dropped (or somebody actually explained it fully)

You could use envirocare dishwashing powder non caustic at all.  Find it in your local Health store

Bugger - just read the dishwashing comment

Kym - I have been putting mine in the Dishwasher for 18mths with no ill-effects. It is actually part of the Thermomix demo in endorsing it is dishwasher safe so it is really up to you. Your warranty could not possibly be voided by doing it.

The only thing I don't put in the dishwasher is the lid seal.  I go through too many of them as it is and our Tassie GL advised me not to put that in.  I don't think it is designed for the dishwasher.

[Nay-nay]

The new seals are much better. Have you noticed they are silicon edges??
