      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.

Tip

Pickles can be stored in the pantry, as long are jars have been properly sterilized. Otherwise, keep them in the fridge.

This recipe works just as well with zucchini.

    Very yum recipe. I skipped the dill and cayenne and onions and added half tsp celery salt. Nice and crunchy and not too sweet.
