Best Buddies - Pressure King Pro 24 in 1 and my Thermomix TM5

 Best Buddies - Pressure King Pro 24 in 1 and my Thermomix TM5


TM5 and PKP 24 in 1

I have had a Thermomix for a number of years. Starting with the robust TM31 and moving on to the larger TM5 with it's cooking chips, (no not potato chips but electrical recipes for the machine), and later upgrading with the aid of a cook key, to online recipes uploaded onto my machine for total ease of cooking. It's the most hard-working thing in my kitchen.... other than me of course. 

My TM5 can weigh, cook, boil, simmer, stew, chop, mince, blend, mill, grind, knead, whisk, puree, and has automated white rice, custard and yogurt functions. You could also buy recipe chips for guided cooking which plugin to the machine for you to follow the recipe directly on-screen. And now with the use of a Cook key chip which links to the internet, I can download over 500 recipes directly into my TM5. What a team we make, especially during all this Coronavirus stuff when I am cooking all the time without even one take out.

The latest thermomix TM6 has new automated functions including Sous vide, fermentations, slow cooking, timer delay, auto clean, and high-temperature modes. But for now, I am very happy with my TM5.

There has always been a sense something else would enhance our unique team and I had no idea what it could be until I saw the Pressure King Pro 20 in one. And after a long time deliberating on whether I would use one or not, out comes the Pressure King Pro 24 in 1 and I was sold! 

The PKP 24 has 24 settings. Steam White rice, Basmati Rice, Poultry, Meat Stew, Soup, Fish, Multigrain, Chilli, Curry, Bread rise, Bake, Crispy, Risotto, Sterilise, Baby food, Yogurt, Poach Slow cook, Sauté and Sous vide. I am not sure why one would need different curry, chili and stew functions but I am sure there is a good reason which I may find out some time.

      

My first effort was to cook bread. I made the dough in the TM5 weighing ingredients and warming the yeast, then kneading the dough using my favourite recipe. (Within prev New Year blog - Lazy Git Bread)

   


After kneading in the TM5 transferred the dough to the PKP24 for proving (remember to oil the bowl first) and then with a turn of a dial baked it in the PKP24 too! The dough rose well, didn't stick, and very tasty!!

While all this was happening it gave me time to do a little more work to my second painting of Buddha Guan Yin, Goddess of Mercy. Chinese ink and Watercolour on Rice paper. 



Time for me to finish the painting and even frame it.

I will also add it to my online gallery and shops where you can print my artwork on anything from clothing to tables, bags to jigsaws!! You can even go on my youtube channel and learn how to doodle yourself. All Links below.

Well until next time

Bread in my Thermomix and my new Ninja Foodi Smart lid

Image
  I have found it quite difficult to find recipes for this new machine, even the recipe book is a bit confusing so thought I would have a Julie moment and post a recipe a day on my blog.  What is a Julie moment? It is from that fabulous film ' Julie & Julia ' where Julie recreates recipes from Julia's cookbook and blogs about it. It's a great film and if you haven't seen it already give it a look-see. However please note Julie Powell is a great writer and to be completely honest I am not really a great blog writer, more bog writer, but I will do my best for you all. First I had to clean all the parts as requested in the instructions. Oh my, what a pain that was and I was starting to regret my purchase before I had even cooked anything! After cleaning the seal in the lid I couldn't get it back in its place.  It was like wrestling a mini boa constrictor through chicken wire while looking up under a car.  It took me 15 minutes and a grazed knuckle, due to a sha

Good bye and Thank you Mr Pepper

Mr Pepper - Headmaster of Hayling School Paid my respects today to the best Head Master I knew. He never made me feel I was just going to school, he made me feel like I was part of the school, part of something special and he always made me laugh. He was firm and fair but more importantly, he put children first, raising funds and spirits with school plays and the infamous Halloween Fair where we sold all the things we made throughout the year whether Mum and Dad wanted them or not. (I loved my Salt and Pepper holder!) Today I saw, and also thanked Mr Robinson my Maths teacher for having faith i n me when numbers just jumped around on the page. Mr Stretch for his kindness and Miss Edney for inspiring my art. Mr Hepworth Taylor for helping me get my Human biology O'level so I could become a nurse, (however I later found out I pass out if I see  blood so that never happened) Miss Drew who luckily forgot (or kindly did not mention) I used to find any excuse not to do cro

Bamboo, Chocolate cake and Ninja review

Image
Having had my Ninja Foodi MAX 15-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker with Smart Cook System 7.5L for a week or so now and feel I am able to to give it some sort of review.  I have cooked a few meals, cakes and bread in it and pretty much pleased. The Steam Bake function makes my cake and bread fluffy and, dare I say the word, moist. I have also tried to cook crispy kale and to be perfectly honest i’m not so sure it’s worth the effort, as it took quite some time to pick out all the crispy kale from the fan in the lid.  The steam function was interesting too, as the vegetables were eventually cooked taking twice the time started in the manual, and the veg was charred. Not sure if that was meant to happen, but certainly not what I expected steam meal to be. But I may have used the wrong setting.  I must also add I have used my Ninja to reheat meals by heating them fast in the pot using the sauté function and then switching to slow cook. I checked with a cooking probe that the meal was above 80 deg
