      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.

    Submitted by Fiona Volke on 22. April 2016 - 20:36.

    YUM! I made a 2/3 serving of this with Moghrabieh Couscous (kinda like large balls of couscous) and it was just divine. I live by myself and it saves really well in the fridge, giving me a scrumptious, effortless lunch/dinner for a couple of days. Happy days!

    Wow! This is a fantastic recipe! Absolutely beautiful. Perfect for my family which consists of two shift workers and small children. Quick, easy and nutritious! I chopped my chicken and the apple in the thermo but that was just personal choice! This will be a regular in our family! Thank you!

    This was the perfect meal after a terribly hot day in Brisbane. No oven, no cooktop and everyone enjoyed it!
