      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    These are delicious and easy, I used avocado oil instead of olive oil/vegetable oil and they turned out perfectly. I love that these are dairy free (if omitting the icing), kids loved them. Thanks.
