I'm still very messy, but with a TM cooking the time that I would otherwise normally be stirring etc I use as "down-time" to clean up ie wipe bench tops and put away ingredients etc.

I have to tidy as I go cause I have two very 'helpful' little boys who like to stand on chairs watching me cook (please read sitting on bench tops/in sinks/stealing ingredients/picking up anything I have stupidly left lying around!).  ;D

I'm amazed at how few dishes there are when I use the bowl for the main, transfer to the Thermoserver, then cook veggies/pasta in both bowl and Varoma.

At what temperature does the Thermoserver keep the food, do you know MJ?  I see possible uses for a much under-used Hostess Trolley, which keeps food at 70 deg C ...

I used to have that problem too Brumington. Now DS waits for the spatula to lick clean. He hates the thermie for cake making as there are no beaters to lick too  ;)

Julia, it keeps food at serving temperature for up to 2 hours, I'm told. I've only kept things hot for about 1/2 an hour, so I can't really say.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
