      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 have turned out perfect. I was worried the custard wouldn't be thick enough, but I could hear it thickening in the last few mins in the thermo. Tastes delish - would definately make again. I added a little vanilla to the custard tmrc_emoticons.)
