Hi Anne,
i am originally from the UK and my mum still lives over there in Scotland.
I am sending her info on the thermomix and hoping she will find a demonstrator near her so she can see what all the fuss is about, good to see its getting a good report from over there!!

Blessings

Hi Willow

You should get your mum to contact the UK Thermomix people as they are really helpful and will know of any demonstrators up in her neck of the woods.

I did go onto their website and fill in a contact form for my mum but i don,t think she has heard anything yet, hopefully this week:) xx

Thanks again to everyone - and just to say that Thermomix central in the UK don't always seem to respond very quickly, but they do in the end.

Had a demo yesterday from a lovely lady and picked up more great tips.

Hi Anne.
We love porriage in our house and have it most days in winter.  I find that if you turn the speed up a little to 1.5 - 2 then it doesn't seem to catch on the bottom as much and the covering the blades with water and turning up to speed 9 slowly seems to do the trick with the cleaning afterwards.  I do find that with most recipes the  function is the one that can cause things to stick.  I have found that if you look through the TM lid hole and you can't see the top of the food moving a bit then just crank the speed up a little. Also with the bread, being your winter you can prove it in your oven at 50oc with a teatowel over the top of your dough.  If you use the same tray that you are going to bake your bread on there wont be extra washing up to do. 
Cheers

Good tips earth mumma - I agree about the speed - better to have it at higher speed in reverse than risk it not mixing and burning on the base.

THANK YOU Earth Mumma - thank you  thank you thank you.   We had porridge this morning and for the first time ever I was able to clean the bowl really easily.  It's made such a difference to my enjoyment of the porridge knowing that I don't have to spend ages rubbing the bowl with bicarb. of soda.   

I'm one happy bunny now .....

Can we get these tips on the official "tip" list?  Burning seems to be a common one for porridge.
