  I also followed the recipe for making the dough but sliced it before boiling it on the stove. I added a tablespoon of mixed herbs and crushed walnuts to the stock to darken the slices and for extra flavour. I drained it well, crumbed and pan fried it to make tasty steaks.

  Using my TM5, I found that reducing the water to 1500g and using the simmering basket to simmer the seitan is a good way to prevent the seitan pieces from falling apart while cooking. I also used the TM spatula a few times gently to stir the seitan pieces in the basket while simmering to insure even cooking of the seitan pieces.

  I have mixed my sei

  

  tan in the TM for a long time as it does it so easily, but have always cooked in broth on the stove-top. Last night I followed your recipe and mixed it and cooked it in the TM as well. It did not work as the gluten mixture was broken up by the blades, even though I took the precaution of using reverse. It made a great gluten mince however, and cooked in 20 minutes instead of the 45. Last night we had the Stroganoff from the Basic Cookbook with gluten mince instead of gluten strips. I cooked a second batch (reused the broth, adding water to get to correct amount) and this time cut the gluten mix in 2 and placed in the simmer basket inside the TM bowl. I set the TM to cook for the 45 min/Varoma/sp1 with the Varoma on top. The gluten cooked beautifully (see photo, after slicing). The stock reduced by 1/2 and is now great for making gravy. I also noticed that even though your recipe says it is for the TM31 that it cannot be cooked there with your instructions. I had to use 100C instead of 98C on the first batch that turned into mince as the TM31 has no 98C temperature (and no, this is not the reason it turned into mince, that was the blades). I also could not use 2000g water in the broth as that is the max in a TM31 bowl before the soy sauce and gluten mixture is added. Instead I used water to take the liquid up to the 1.5L mark in the TM bowl, which then left room for the gluten mixture to be added to the bowl. I would also do it this way if using the TM5 as its maximum is 2.2L and adding the gluten mixture into 2L+ of liquid in the bowl would take it past the 2.2L level.
