swiss cheese fondue- travelling with Thermomix P90
« on: July 10, 2011, 02:51:17 am »
My boys were craving for a fondue so we unearthed our fondue set and prepared the cheese dip in the TMX.  I hadn't done one for a long time and although I was very happy with the way the cheese melted in TMX without "catching" at the bottom, I don't know if I'll have another go because this was such a pain to clean the blades afterwards  :-\
Anyway, I would probably use less white wine in the mix:  300ml instead of the 420ml suggested.
Otherwise this was a nice fondue mix and this is fun to have a fondue on a winter night.

Carine do you use a small bottle brush to clean your blades when they are really messy with dough or something like the fondue?

egg shells with a little dishwasing liquid (only a little otherwise it froths up and comes out everywhere) and water just to cover the blades no more...mix on speed 10 for min 1m30..gets most sticky things off..then i just rinse out again ...i keep a small bowl of empty egg shells on the kitchen bench for this purpose!

That's a good way of not wasting too many things whilst cooking! I'm definitely going to keep egg shells ready for that too!
