Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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.
    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!

    Elisabetht:Thanks Elisabeth. So glad that you liked it. So good to add hidden veggies to also - the Thermomix turns them into nothing - the vegetable opposition movement will never know!

    Thanks for the recipe! Made this for dinner tonight. Served it lasagne style using eggplant instead of pasta with a creamy keto sauce. Added carrot and zucchini to the sauce at step one because I need to squeeze in the hidden vegies wherever I can. Best bolognaise I've ever made!
