I put in the TMX basket what I thought were some frozen cubes of potato that I'd thrown in the freezer a month or so ago to make a potato salad. They were cooking away with an egg for about 5 minutes when I thought I'd check them.

Strange...they were soft and gooey. I took the jug over to the sink and took the basket out. It was the weirdest thing! Soft and mushy, just like cheese.........oh sh$^!  IT IS CHEESE! I'd frozen some mozzarella that I'd cut into cubes to make it easier to grate in the TMX.



After spending forever cleaning up the gooey disgusting mess of cooked mozzarella, I started again, this time with the frozen potato cubes, or so I thought. Checked again after it had been boiling away for a while. Strange...must still be some cheese in there. Took the bowl over to the sink and pulled out the basket. AHHHH! MORE BL&*^Y CHEESE!! I didn't think I had two lots of cheese in the freezer.



This time it had cooked for longer and was glued on the bowl, blade and basket. It's soaking in cold water in the laundry. God knows where in the hell those frozen potato cubes are.

That looks like a big mess MJ.

sorry MJ but that is so so funny

i thought u would be the type to label every thing just like me  (not)

[Amy :-)]

Oh MJ....

I promise I didn't laugh

[astarra]

Oooppppssss  MJ.   
That would be so annoying, but *sorry*  it is soooooooo funny!

MJ not once but twice. I'm sorry I did chuckle. If it had been me I would have been so  mad after it happened twice.

Oh, that is SO something that I would do. I didn't laugh, because I've cleaned melted cheese off too many things, my jaw dropped! Partly because I'm surprised that I haven't done the same thing...! lol

I have 2 steaming baskets so I think I would have thrown the messy one in the bin rather than clean it MJ - I've done that before with a saucepan.  I now see you carefully labelling everything in future LOL

HEE HEE HEE,  glad it isn't just me doing stupid things....

I have two bowls, so used the second one because I really wanted to get this potato salad made for lunch!

I ended up chopping up some bl&*dy potatoes!

I actually laughed out loud when I did it! The second time, I just screamed and laughed! If anyone had have been around, they'd think I was nuts. (they'd be right)

Thought I'd make Tonydavs piemaker custard tarts today, only making 8 so 1/2 recipe.  All ingredients ready, pie maker ready, pastry made, making the egg custard in the TMX and ready to put in the pie maker, looks a bit runny and scrambled egg like, oh well, done everything right, into pastry shell and started cooking. Went to put on the timer, whats that in those two bowls there,  Oops  forgot to put in the cornflour and sugar!!   Start again. Don't forget the cornflour and sugar this time. cooked for the 9 min as recipe says.  Gee its getting thick,  oh well done everything right!!!  first 4 cooked ok but by the time I got to the last 2 pies, the custard was cool and THICK. I was just putting thick egg custard into the shell cases, maybe as I had only done 1/2 recipe should 1/2 the cooking in TMX .    START AGAIN,  This time only cooked the custard for 4 min, temp only reached 60 but they cooked beautifully in the pie maker.

Let me get that right pp, you made 3 lots of custard    I was so pleased to read you finally had success 

[Delightful Den]

I guess it was third time lucky.

[Yvette]

I'm not laughing 

[pumpkin pie]

Yes thats right 3 lots of custard, first lot went down the drain, second lot go used, but not with great successs, and third lot was great.      Also when making these, they really need to be eaten within 24 hrs as the beautiful crisp pastry starts to go soft after that, but still very nice.
