How to Summary

[CreamPuff63]

It would be good to have a topic just devoted to answers on "How to" for a quick easy guide when converting recipes
eg.

Cream Butter & Sugar:
Browning spices:
Brown flour:
Chop a garlic clove:
Saute onions:
Caremellise onions:
Seal Meat:
Simmer Meat: (what temp for how long - is it the same time as stove top?)

(much the same as the Acronyms list where the answers are at the top, and you don't have to scroll through all the pages)

i'll just pin this one and we can use your post i think most of those things are already covered on the forum so if anyone wants to find a few i will edit them into the first post

[Thermomixer]

Great idea - now we need people to post How To

[Russell]

Err, I'm confused.

Are the lines in the first post supposed to be hyperlinked to instructions for each one? If so, does that mean no one has done any How-To's yet? Looks like a good idea if I understand correctly.

Looks like this thread didn't end up going anywhere Russell.  That happens sometimes but bumping, as you have done, may bring some more responses.

[Russell]

OK well, I guess I'll try and see what I can find. I'm not sure some of these should be under the tips thread though, so maybe should be moved :-

Creaming butter & sugar
Creaming egg yolks & sugar
Make Butter
Reheat Food
Clean off burnt on food
Cleaning under the blade
Peel Garlic
Peel Garlic - Video
Peel Onions
Convert Weight <-> Volume
Hand roll pasta
Convert Recipes
Whip egg whites
Weigh during cooking
Chop Meat
Chop small quantities

Is that along the lines of what we need?

[Thermomixer]

Thanks Russell - ah yes, it went nowhere cos we forgot about it and needed somebody organised to help - ta 

[judydawn]

I can't believe you did that Russell - thanks a lot for that.  Aren't you busy at work today

Umm, err, well. It was during my lunch hour.

I didn't index every thread, just those that seemed to have black & white answers, or were more general in nature than some of the specific things.

You will be indispensable in no time if you keep that up Russell !!!  Well done

[fundj&e]

I just found this thread would have come in handy weeks ago ops and today
I keep on burning my TM bowl may my speed is to slow
Any suggestions
caio

[faffa_70]

fundj if it is recipes you are converting try upping your speed by 1/2 to 1 more speed.  Sometimes using your butterfly as well will help, as it helps get the food moving off the bottom of the bowl.

 If it is recipes from the EDC I have a customer who has similar problems and I think it has been mentioned on here somewhere as well that someone has/had the same problem...

Just found this thread.  It's no so long ago since it was last 'bumped' but I found there are quite a few links here that answer some of the questions that have been raised / discussed recently.

Having gone through all of the tips listed here, I now have another four pages of hints and tips printed out to insert into my recipe folder!
