Should I buy a Second bowl and Blade set?

[Twitterpated]

I will keep one for savory and one for sweet (Wonder how long that will last?)

I'm with you faffa. When I first got my second bowl I was determined that the bowl, blades, lid, seal & MC would be kept together as a set and not swapped between them (just my little thing I guess). But as you said, when I wanted to cook, I wanted it then and they kinda ended up getting mixed up. I also thought about the savoury/sweet thing when I read the posts but thought the same thing would happen so I never worried about it.

I always keep my lid upside down on top of the bowl to help it air. I know the older seals seam to be better in that they didn't get smelly where I have the newer seal that can smell a little but I have never had problems with the smell going through anything else I cook afterwards. And I know I say I will keep one seal for sweet and one for Savory but I think that will last all of 2 seconds as you said Faffa I will want to use it now and not worry about which one is which. Unless they are color coded it will become impossible to tell I think.

Considering my friend's TMX jug ends up here every few days due to it being easier to cook for 10 mouths with two, I've been putting off buying a second due to pure laziness...  I will ring HO in the morning and put in my order though.

about time Ceejay!! 

Dede one of mine is colour coded from when I have to take it to cooking classes ... still gets mixed up and used for whatever lol

You won't regret it Ceejay. Sounds like you really need one.

I think HO should consider color coding. I had the best intention but now it's just grab which ever isn't dirty. I really use mine so much- it is addictive. Need to make myself do other things like my book work or even cleaning. Not as rewarding though.

oh I agree there Bedlam, My garden needs tending to and I need to give the house a good spring clean and and and. Oh well at least all the family is well feed.

Never better,DH tried to be diplomatic and say how good the food is now, not that it wasn't before he said it just assisted as I was a good cook,haha he ended up in trouble

Yes I am saving desperately for a second bowl too (and for a TM for my Mum). It's a shame they have to be quite so expensive. 

[CreamPuff63]

it is very hard to believe that a bowl is 25% of the price

I have ordered my Second bowl, The order will go in Monday and will take around 10 days for it to arrive to me. My DH said I shouldn't get one cause I only cook 20 hours a day now lol (Slight over exaggeration I do think). I do need to sleep at some stage.

I have been contemplating a second bowl too before my first 3 month ownership runs out. (I read somewhere that there is a special price within the first 3 months) I have been going through my own personal Thermomix recipe directory to look at the dishes where a second bowl is needed. In my "Diet-Pro" software there is a section where you can add in any kind of criteria e.g. cake, healthy cooking, thermomix etc. I have added 2 bowls to the choices just to see how much I would use the second bowl in one recipe. All I need to do is to ask for the criteria and up comes the recipes with that tag. Gosh, I love the computer part of my foodie life! 
I must admit that I am always pleased when I see that a recipe is actually telling me "no need to wash the bowl" so I can just carry on. When I do my own personal review of a recipe, I do make sure that the procedure runs in the right order and add in such instructions myself. It is all too easy to carry on and then realise that you should have ground the sugar or lentils etc first whilst the bowl was dry. Gosh!  have almost talked myself into the second bowl just writing this
