      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 made this exactly as listed (apart from using white sugar instead of raw sugar as that is what I had on hand and used chicken stock as I had no veggie stock at the time) and it turned out excellent. Love that there is extra sauce to freeze. Great way to add 'hidden veggies' into meals too. We all thought it was great, including the fussy kids.

    I have made different versions over the years but this is my favorite.
