Replacing spatula tip
« on: January 11, 2011, 11:47:54 pm »
Hi All

I was wondering if anyone has ever replaced the spatula tip with a genuine thermomix one? I know someone who has bought some new tips but they are not sure on how to put them on.

This is for a TM31 spatula, also are the TM21 spatulas different?

Any sort of guide would help.

Thanks

Lee

Can say that I have never heard of this Lee, or seen that you can purchase them - only the spatula as a whole unit  ??? ???

Thanks for the reply Kathryn

I have seen the replacement spatula tips but I am not sure if they are only for the TM21

They are also mentioned in this thread

Just had a look at that thread and I think it was for TM21.

There is no tip for the tm31 spatula. Only the whole thing $25.
The tm21 tip is $5 and a spatula $20

Hope that helps :)

Cool thanks for the info.

How much different are the TM21 spatulas compared to the TM31?

If they are the same size, I could just buy one of them and replace the tip, the tip on the spatulas doesnt stay in good shape for very long.

Just so everyone knows, I don't actually use the spatula tip except to remove the TM basket from the bowl. I always use a rubber or silicone spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl or to remove food. It is similar to cake/baking type spatulas and I find this works much better than the rigid spatula supplied with the TM. Probably explains why my TM spatula looks brand new!
