      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.

    Submitted by loodles81 on 26. December 2015 - 11:06.

    I substituted  the flour for gluten free flour - wasn't sure how it would go, but it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this one again. So good.  I used whatever dried fruit I had in the cupboard which ended up being a combination of saltanas, dates and glacé cherries - really yum!
