      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.

  • This was delicious!...

    This was delicious!
    We grew a bumper crop of pumpkins in the veggie patch this year, so I can see this as a weekly meal for a while.
    I used 2 tablespoon veggie stock in 1 litre water.
    Thank you!

    Very disappointed. I will not be using this recipe again. What a waste of ingredients. I followed the recipe to an absolute Tee. And the finished product was a big sticky mashed mess.
