      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.

  • First time I've cooked an

    First time I've cooked an unrated dish and glad I did. I did as per recipe but concurrently. I seasoned the chicken 1 st. I am lazy so sliced thinly and was perhaps, over generous with the cayenne (sprinkled on) the lentils need salt. Took a relaxing 25 mins .hand  Chop the tomatoes for texture. Thanks
