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.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

In the 10 minutes on Verona setting my pearl barley had only been at a cooking temperature for 2 - 3 minutes, so it was still raw. So I gave it another 5, still wasn't cooked. So I gave it another 5. The pearl barley was softening and beginning to release into the water. I strained off the pearl barley and lemon rind and added the sugar and then cooked the lemon water for 10 more minutes - I don't understsand why that had to happen. It make lemon cordial that had pearl barley passed through it - I don't understand what I did wrong. Was I meant to cook the pearl barley in the basket - there is mention of adding enough water to cover the barley. The barley was at finger depth in the bottom of the bowl, 300 ml would have covered the barley. As you can tell, I'm confused. It tastes ok, what wouldn't taste ok with 200 grams of sugar in it 🤷♀️
