      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.

    Thanks for the info on the Austria v's swiss bit. I was given the recipe from an Austrian friend who called it that....so I added the Austrian bit to the front of the name.

    As for where to find Barley, in the soup section of the supermarket, near the dried lentils and soup mixes.
