Gee, Valerie, I'd love to see that machine. I'm a terrible kitchen gadget
junkie! I just finally decided to try the T-Fal actifry air fryer and made a
meal in it today. It came out pretty darned good, too. It was a combination of
potatoes and chicken with some corn and onions and at the end you thicken the
sauce with a little cornstarch water that you put in and then cook for a couple
more minutes. I've read that people use it to fry chicken pieces, and since I
won't fry in a pan of oil, I'm really wanting to try this.

Talking of kitchen machines, coming out of a store today, we happened to pass
a demonstration being done of a brand new Tefal kitchen machine. It is
supposed to eliminate many kitchen appliances. The machine kneads dough, wizzes
up dips, cooks casseroles, risotto etc, steams rice, puddings and other foods.
it is also a slow cooker, has variable temps from 30 degrees to 120, that's
Celsius. It will brown, and turn ingredients gently as they cook. It will
whip egg whites make jelly, didn’t' seem to be too much it wouldn't do. It
was too busy to check out much more, certainly had no idea if it was vip
friendly, but seemed to be one step up from thermomix and some other similar
appliances, having the slow cook feature. It's interesting to hear the vitamix
cooks soup too, maybe this is similar? I haven't seen vitamix in ages. Really
interesting all these new appliances out in the market place.
Cheers Valerie

Hey, Carolyn, did they also tell you what to do with the newed Vitamix machines
that don't have soup settings, they just have the speeds from 1 to 10 and
variable control for the speed. I've seen soup made and they just use the high
settings and depending on the machine it takes from 5 to 7 minutes for hot soup.

William-Sonoma Class Recipe for the Vitamix
This is the best and quickest to make lemon curd I've ever tasted.
Our instructor put it on cupcakes and suggested other fruits below to use
instead of Meyer lemons. The soup setting is high on an older Vitamix. Will
be making this soon. I could eat vats of it! Lol!
Lemon curd or Other Chosen Fruit Vitamix Recipe
by Sandra Dysak William-Sonoma Recipe
In less than 10 minutes, you can make delicious lemon curd. Can substitute
blood orange, lime, grapefruit juices.
3 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (preferably Meyer lemons), Zest of 1/2
lemon
1/2 cup cubed butter, cool
Start on hot soup setting. After four minutes, with the motor running, open
knob on lid and add cubed butter, one cube at a time.
Wait until each cube is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Continue to cook for one minute on hot soup setting.
If it has not reached desired thickness, continue cooking for one minute more.
Finish with lemon zest, and pulse to mix into the curd.
Pour intoa serving bowl.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
