mat for prooving breadmix
« on: February 13, 2012, 11:19:32 am »
Hi - not sure if this has been covered - did a search but couldn't find anything....

At the TMX demo the demonstrator used a ?silicone? mat to prove the breadmix... it apparently locks in the heat and speeds up the prooving.

I don't particularly need the TMX branded one.... wondering where I can buy something similar? either online or in WA.... ?

TIA :)

Bella.

Kitchenware Direct or Everten Online stock them (both online) but I don't know if they're exactly the same.

The Thermomix Australia one is called a Thermomat.  You can now buy them online at http://www.thermomix.com.au for the full price of $60 or sometimes (not often) they're also on offer at e-Bay.  If you host a Varoma demo you can pick one up for $40 co-payment.

Hiya

I bought mine from Ebay last year.  Could be worth a try if there is any in stock.  Good luck!

Most kitchen shops stock similar mats (silicone ) so if you have one nearby have a look (much cheaper)

Are Silpats similar? I bought mine off an American site on eBay last month for approx $25. Worth every penny...use it all the time for baking. Have not used it for proving.

the TMX mat is wonderful.  It is a dream to use, and washes easily.  BUT I never wrap  my bread dough in it.  I usually leave the dough in the TMX bowl.  I have several other mats but none as good as the TMX one,  worth every cent of $60.

I must agree with Chookie. I didn't buy one for a couple of years until a friend persuaded me. Now I wouldn't swap it. JUST DON'T CUT ON IT.

Use the TMX spatula to "cut" on the breadmat. Works a treat. (saw this at a TMX cooking class)

You can buy a plastic dough scraper/cutter for $1.

djinni373, just in case you don't already know - if you host a Varoma demo you can obtain the Thermomat as a Host reward.  Even if no one buys, you only pay $40 then.  :)  I thought of you and my friends on this thread last night at my TMX demo when I plopped out the bread mixture.
