- Recipe is created for
  TM 6
  
  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.

  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Tip

Mielie Meal or maize meal is a relatively coarse flour (much coarser than cornflour) made from maize (which is known as mielies in South Africa). It is available in the international section of the supermarket or from a speciality South African shop.

Soetkoekies are crisp biscuits perfect for dipping into tea or coffee. They are popular at Christmas time but delicious any time of the year.
