      TM 5
      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.

    Thank you for your comment. I have adjusted the recipe so there is not as much sauce at the end.  tmrc_emoticons.)

  • I followed the instructions

    I followed the instructions to 100%, but it didn't turn out nice I'm afraid.

    It was far too much liquid, I ended up with a big bowl of flavoured water and chicken pieces in it.

    Still 2 stars, because the Massaman paste looked good.
