Bought two more cookbooks the other day as myer had 40percemt off all full priced books..



Oh and practically every christmas and cooking mag out there lol..

And two big fat pig piggy banks for the kids.. A green one for ds and a pale pink one for dd

[Frozzie]

The french one just has classic french recipes but i liked the cookbook and always like different versions of classic recipes..

cheaper than buying an extra bowl


My DS bought one about 2 months ago and loves it.  Came with a recipe book but uses TMX recipes as well using TM21 settings.

I've removed the link.

[Frozzie]

Is that the bellini one or thermo chef or another one all together

[Mama Fergie]

It's identical to Bellini Frozzie but was sold by The Good Guys using a different name.

[Frozzie]

Urrmm then wise to stay away wouldnt you think after the dramas everyone had..

[Mama Fergie]

The one my DS bought is a brand new model apparently they have rectified the problem
Time will tell but so far in use everyday with good results. automatic refund if any problems so nothing to lose

[Frozzie]

True mf and glad he is enjoying it... Definately a cheaper option .. Hope it works.. I saw so ething like this on sale at myers the other week..

[Mama Fergie]

Obviously he would prefer a TMX but financially this suits him at the moment.
Also he said gives him the opportunity to try this way of cooking and to find out if they like if before outlaying the money on the real thing.
He has made loads of meals and had to tweak a few but all good now. As Uni says cheaper than a second bowl.

[Frozzie]

So true and i wasnt knocking him not buying a thx but great option for those that either cant afford it or arent sure of a thx with such an outlay .. Yes cheaper than a second bowl.. All good and great that he is enjoying it... Thats the whole point!!  😊😊😊😊

[Mama Fergie]

I know you weren't knocking him Frozzie
Financially they can put their money to better use at this moment but when DIL goes back to work they will consider buying TMX as they now know that they will use it.
Lucky them as they will have 2 machines 
I think it's great that there are cheaper options for people who don't want to spend $2000.
Obviously there must be a great difference in quality but a good intro into a different style of cooking and food preparation.

[Frozzie]

Totally agree mf 😊

I remember when i first went to a demo at my neighbours p,ace i thought is she kidding lol.. No way im buying a machine that costs that much.. Dh had already planned on ordering it as his mum had an old one and knew about them .. I didnt but as soon as i got back that evening told dh we were getting one lol.. It is an outlay but do t thing there is a machine out there that matches it for the price.. Other commercial machines are ar more expensive..

Frozzie - I'm assuming that you brought yours with you from France - was/is there any adjustment re the power to be made - or is the French one compatible with the Aust. electricity supply?

[Frozzie]

I have an email to contact to buy a local aussie cord and no adjustment gf as they are made in the same factory which was only an hour from our place in france.. Just need a new cord but i have been using my parents thermie when im allowed to cook lol..
