      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.

  • I love this sauce however next time I would omit...

    I love this sauce however next time I would omit the sugar. The egg yolk is a missing ingredient in the sauce recipe? I have made it twice both times without the egg yolk, first time it was much thicker, I think the better quality cream makes a difference.

    What did I do wrong? I made the dill sauce (to go over salmon) but it was really thin & runny even though I followed the recipe exactly. It still tasted great tmrc_emoticons.) Any suggestions, please?
