What have you made, but will never make again in the TM

[fundj&e]

And why
 
 balsamic vinegar reduction  and napolitana sauce 
takes way too long to cook the way i like it

[dede]

Um you got me thinking, there are a few things I have made that I didn't like but with a little tweaking I think there could be improvements. I can't think of anything that I wouldn't try again. But I will think about it and see if I can come up with something.

[fundj&e]

you are right dede you need to try a few times

believe me i have tried and tried more than a few times 

[Halex]

MWOC carbonarra, it was shocking
EDC Mushroom soup
Thats about all i can think off atm

Butter chicken in the EDC no taste, the indian book recipe is so much better

[judydawn]

There are probably a few things but I had an instant answer for this question fundj - Pasta E Fagioli, I absolutely hate it and yet others love it so it must be me   I thought it might just have been the EDC version so I tried one from Antonio Carluccio's recipe book and that was no better.

[fundj&e]

Oh JD i love pasta e Fagioli. i grew up on depression /Peasants style of cooking and still cook this way, most days
.
Have you seen depression cooking with clara on utube ?

My sisters tell me when they where little girls bruschetta made like this
Each person would have a piece of bread and dad would start with a tomato and a clove of garlic he would rub his piece of bread then pass the tom and garlic around.10 in my family

I don’t think i  will ever make pasta e Fagioli in the TM

Just had a look at Antonio pasta e Fagioli
I would leave out the basil leaves and rosemary and replace with fennel leaves

You are not the only one JD.  It seems to be a dish that you either love or hate. We enjoy it but I have tweaked the EDC version quite a bit.

I love pasta e fagioli...and I hate beans! I never wanted to try it, but my consultant made it (she hates beans, too), and it was so delicious. I'm sure it's her stock concentrate though - she makes the most delicious stock concentrate which is miles better than the gross looking one in the EDC.

The one thing I will never make again is kiwifruit sorbet - we didn't like that one bit.

[fundj&e]

Sorry ladies i wanting to know more in the line of things that do not work in the thermomix  

Maybe subject should have read things that don’t work in the TM

[earth mumma]

I definately wont try mergigue or pavlova in my Tm. I have tried and tried but end up with a failure every time.  Even went out and bought a new hand held beater to do the job and it's faster and with a better result.

 l tried mincing  steak  and it made such a mess with all the sinew
and then l tried to brown it
will not do that again the end result taste gross and all l was trying to do was make savory mince
it took me ages to clean the bowl 
l like the taste of browned meat in the frying pan adds so much flavour

Earth mumma,my first attempt was a disaster but my last was brilliant,did you warm the bowl?

[thermoheaven]

To mince in the tm successfully, you have to cube the  (lean) meat, chill it in the freezer for about half an hour so it can firm up (not frozen solid or you will get meat sorbet), then mince in 100g batches with 2-3 turbo bursts. Make sure you don't over mince - better underdone than over done.

When I first got tmx I made a vegie slice thing, can't remember where I got the recipe from, but there was so much scraping out, setting aside, putting back in, scraping out . . . I thought it would be just easier to do it in the bowl!!  (Of course, very jealous of your two bowl tmxers)
