      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.

Tip

I make this well in advance, wrap in cling wrap, put back into my pudding steamer and freeze until Christmas.  Then on Christmas day I take it out of the cling wrap, put back into the steamer and reheat by steaming for another hour.

    Tim Wilco: Sorry, I only saw your question when I went to make my pudding. (must work out how to turn on notifications!) I use a 2 litre pudding steamer, and it nearly fills it once cooked.

    Hi, This really taste good. What size pudding steamer does this use? I assumed 1litre Avanti, as that seems to be Thermo standard( I think because they fit in the Varoma for steaming). Thank you, Tim
