      Recipe is created for
      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.

    A lot of my sauce burnt/caramalised onto my baking pan while in the oven, meaning the filling was quite dry.

    Hi - is the pork belly in slices or a whole piece?  I doubt that it would cook through in 30 mins?  Thanks
