Only when using the butterfly whisk: position the measur ing cup with the
opening pointing downwards. If you wish to add some liquid there is no need
to remove the measuring cup. Simply pour the liquid onto the lid. It will
gradually trickle into the mixing bowl.
To add ingredients through the opening in the lid lift the measuring cup and
add them into the mixing bowl.
Simmering basket
The simmering basket for the Thermomix TM31 is made of high-quality plastic.
Like the measuring cup, the basket is a multi-purpose item:
• Filtering of fruit and vegetable juices. Chop and make a puree in the
Thermomix TM31, then insert the simmering basket into the mixing bowl
and use it as a filter when pouring the juice out. When pouring the juice
use the spatula to hold the simmering basket 3 .
• Delicate food such as meatballs or fishballs that are not suited to be prepared
in the mixing bowl as a whole should be put into the simmering basket. Here
they can be stewed or steamed.
• For cooking side dishes (e.g. rice, potatoes).
Removing the simmering basket is effortless: place the hook of the spatula
into the notch of the simmering basket 4 and lift the basket 5 . The spatula
can be removed at any time.
• The feet at the bottom of the simmering basket 6 allow liquid to drip off the
food in the basket.
• In case of reducing liquid in food (e.g. tomato sauce) put the simmering
basket as cover onto the lid 7 instead of the measuring cup.
