Check out the thermies on Masterchef!
« on: August 03, 2011, 11:36:15 am »
Seems like every one of the three hat restaurants the contestants are cooking in has a tmx in the kitchen!  No surprise there, I guess!

Won't spoil!  But Kate is the favourite contestant in our house  ;D (except my son likes Michael best, he just told me! Really they are all amazing)

I agree and as much as I love my cooking wouldn't do that for any money

I wonder how many restaurants use TMX and what's the main thing they use it for...
As for Masterchef, Kate is also my fav, even though I think the better contestants are no longer part of the comp- would have loved to see more of Cleo.

From what I've heard, the TMX is mainly used for sauces and risottos in restaurants.  What do others know about this?

My 10-year-old DS just paused the playback of last night's program so that he could call me in to see the TMX in one of the restaurant kitchens. My boys are very keen for Michael to win, while I like Kate (maybe it's the Mum thing?). But Alana has really stepped up lately too.

We love Masterchef, but I'll be so glad when it's over and we can get back to reasonable bedtime and a story before lights out!

yes last night was a thermomix spotters delight!

for ages, I have been saying to dh how Michael reminds me of dougal from that tv show father Ted, with that excitable puppy look of his.  and then low and behold last night he was cooking for Peter Doyle.......who looked a bit like father Ted!

I remember Mark Best being quoted as saying  "the TMX can take the place of a first year apprentice without the attitude."  ;) I have a list of commercial uses but for some reason can not load it on here so if anyone would like it I can email?  :)

Sure thing Judy. Not much of a difference to how we mere mortals use it. Let me know if they go through.   ;)

I would like michael to win, he is young enough to have a career as a top  notch chef. 2nd choice Kate.

Yes I was jumping all over the place spotting the thermomix, yay. When we were in Sydney Quay was closed, so hopefully next trip.

Would love a list of what they use the TM for in their kitchens, thanks  :)
