      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.

    Thanks Jo, spring onion works well. Even red onion is good, raw or lightly fryed.

    Hi Binny, Thanks for the feedback.  Definitely try with spring onions as they have a lighter flavour than normal onions. Jo
