Hello from Adelaide
« on: September 15, 2011, 01:55:59 pm »
Hi everyone,
Just joined and I have Thermomix envy big time.
I feel a bit embarrassed BUT i did buy the copy  :o
You know it....Thermo Chef.  Aaah it was that or
not much else.  My daughter's getting married soon
so...very much a budget decision.
I did notice there were a couple (maybe) other Chef people
here, so i decided to join.
You all seemed so nice and friendly.
Cheers,
Marie

Hi and welcome Marie. I think is great that TC owners are joining this group as well. It's great to hear more about the TC and I'm sure all the recipes on here can be easily adapted to the TC. If you need to know anything please just ask and I'm sure someone will be able to help. Good luck and happy cooking.

Thanks so much for your welcome everyone!
I've had the thermo chef for about a week.
I'm a Home Ec. teacher and saw the Thermomix at a course i was doing
and just LOVED it.
Then i was lingering home sick with the dreaded "lurgy" and saw the Thermo chef
on daytime tv (ha, which i never see usually)
Checked the net and found a few reviews and coz i was miserable and sick i thought
"stuff it" i'll give it a whirl.
I can always give it to one of my kids as a "house warming" present and get a Thermomix
later after the wedding expenses etc. So,,,

I've made the Gnocchi (cheese, ricotta, flour etc) that i found on this site.
Everyone loved it and wanted more!

Mash potato of course, I usually use the ricer as i think that beating potatoes can
cause it to break down the starches and make it gluggy, so i was keen to try and
i was pleasantly surprised to find it lovely (creamed mashed potato)

Tried the 5 seed bread recipe (here on this site)- only had half the recipe quantity so thought ok smaller bread loaf -
the Thermo Chef struggled to the point that i thought it wasn't even kneading and maybe was faulty
so pulled most of it out, and did smaller quantities and then hand kneaded all the separate bits together.
The Thermo Chef won't let me program more than 2 mins of kneading at a time, not sure if this is standard feature to
maybe "save the motor"

Anyway proved the dough , baked it...and the loaf was good.
