stains on the bottom of the thermomix bowl

[cookie1]

I look upon the stains on my bowl as fair wear and tear. They change with whatever I have been making lately. I was given heaps of lemons so it has been lots of lemonade. As someone said- good cleaner.

Tonight I decided to give my 3 year old bowl its first vinegar clean as per the instructions in the EDC as under :-

Add 1000 g vinegar and 1/4 tspn dishwashing detergent to the TM bowl.  Cook for 1 hour 50^ospeed 1.

Apart from the blade unit which is still very dark, it came out looking better than my second bowl which hasn't had anywhere near the same amount of use so that one is now also undergoing the same transformation.

I am using the same batch of mixture for the second bowl. Guess I can save it and use it again further down the track? - I hate wasting a litre of vinegar.

a regular wipe out with vinegar will do the same JD. I do that to my bowl before a demo

I had done that a couple of times Kathryn but thought I'd treat the bowl to a full beauty treatment after all of this time

Did you use malt vinegar Judy or white? My bowl could benefit from this treatment

Plain white vinegar CC.

I did the vinegar wash to my bowl last night and the stain are still there. the blades are the worst. I cook lots of curry's and spicy food in thermi. Any idea how to get it clean.
I just reread that you cooked it for an hour, I only did it for 10 min.

I didn't really have stains on the bottom of my bowls Jen, I just wanted to bring them up to a nice shine again.   My original blade is very dark and that didn't change, nor did I expect it to. I imagine once they go dark there is no returning to the silver look but I don't have a problem with that.

Since posting on 26 October, I still find a 'bloom' when using the TM with heat, particularly sauteeing.  However, when using recipes with lemon it is not as bad.  Its just having bought one I really noticed the difference in the bowls from those of my demonstrator. However, Head Office have been sympathetic and says if it keeps happening they will take it further.  Also notice having done rice a few times that there is a difference in the lid colour - almost like a slight crazing.  I'm not surprised as the lid gets so hot.   Its just that it would be nice to know these things beforehand - otherwise I panic!!!
Having said that, I would now kill anyone who tried to take my machine away!!!!   Having been round the block a few times I am not easily impressed but, boy, is TM making my life easier.  My grown up son said the 'quick sponge' was the nicest he had ever eaten and he loved the chocolate and amaretti cake as well!!      I am now programmed to go and do ALL the Christmas cooking!!!!   Is that a result or what!!!!!!!
