How To Wash Your Bowl – 12 Thermomix Tips

November 16, 2019 by Sia Aristidou Leave a Comment

12 Tips To Washing Your Thermomix Bowl

There is often the misconception that sometimes it’s too much effort to use the Thermomix because of having to wash the bowl up. With these handy tips you will never find it hard to wash up your Thermomix bowl ever again.

Tip 1

Use a pastry brush to clean herbs and spices out of a dry bowl so you can continue to use it. By wetting the bowl to get all the extra spices out you will have to wait for the bowl to dry, loose some of the extra spice that was in the bowl and if you then go onto chopping something like nuts it won’t be as smooth of a chop as when the bowl is dry.

Tip 2 and 3

When cooking something thats a little bit sticky or it coats the entire bowl like a cake batter, fill the bowl with some water blend on high for a couple of seconds to remove most of the excess mixture from the sides of the bowl. If it still has any excess residue you can use the Thermomix brush to remove the remainder.

Tip 4

When you have a stubborn stain in your Thermomix bowl or its needing a refresher to get back to its shiny state, do a lemon vinegar wash. Add 1L of water, peel of 1 lemon and a dash of vinegar. Cook 10 minutes/steaming temperature/speed 1. Once its cooked pour out the liquid and if there is any excess, use your brush as in tip 3. Your bowl will be as good as new.

Tip 5 and 6

The easiest way to wash your bowl after a big day of cooking is by simply putting it in your dishwasher. Separate the parts, place in the dishwasher and then ensure to dry it well before using. The pins underneath are the MOST vital to ensure are dry as they touch all the electronics in your machine.

Tip 7

Have you ever had your lid discolour? We sure have! If you are using something like turmeric, the colour of your lid can change. However, it is super easy to change it back if you just place your lid in the sun for a short time.

Tip 8

When you are making something that sticks to the blades like dough DO NOT try wash your bowl with hot water to get it out. You will make a glue. Instead, use cold water or try our flicking off the blade method in Tip 9.

Tip 9

If there is a heap of food left on your blades like a dough or cake batter, scrape out the majority of the mixture first. Then put your bowl back on the base and turn it onto speed 6 for 10 seconds. This will flick the remainder of the mixture off the blades. It’s really handy when your trying to get just one more cupcake from the batter you made! It also makes washing it up a lot easier as well.

Tip 10

If you have something really glued onto the bottom of your Thermomix bowl you might need to try a baking soda wash. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of vinegar and 100g of water to the bowl. Allow it to soak for 10 minutes. Use your brush to scrub off the stain. You can even try the lemon wash in tip 4 after if your bowl is still looking dull.

Tip 11

Another way to get any stains off the bottom of your Thermomix bowl is by using a white magic sponge. Just wet it and use it to scrub. It really helps to get any stubborn stains off.

Tip 12

The biggest tip we can give you to help you clean your bowl is to rinse your bowl straight away after you finish using it! This will make it a lot easier to wash when you come back to it so that you are not challenged with dried food on the side of the bowl and blades. Give it a quick water Thermomix turbo as in Tip 2. Then you will have no excuse for a challenging wash up later.

Independent Publisher Book Awards 2017 – Mezze Cookbook

November 9, 2019 by Sia Aristidou Leave a Comment

The Mezze Cookbook features over 40 traditional Greek family recipes. These recipes have been converted to be cooked in a Thermomix so generations to come can enjoy these recipes. The Mezze Cookbook was the very first cookbook we released in 2017.

Mezze Cookbook won bronze place in the Independent Publisher Book Awards in 2017. It had a beautiful feature article on their blog which recognised many of the details we shared within the book.

It was an honour to receive this recognition not just because of the hard work that went into creating Mezze but because of the enormous respect we had for the parents, grand parents, aunties and friends who shared their time and recipes with us. These recipes are often kept a secret that they are lost with the person who cooked them best. To have these recipes now documented with a story of the person who we will remember them for, is something to be treasured and shared for many years to come.

MEZZE (Print + Ebook)

MEZZE is a collection of over 40 traditional, Greek & Cypriot recipes that have been converted for your Thermomix.

YOU WILL RECEIVE:

MEZZE – a print copy of the hardcover cookbook.

Sia’s Goodbye…

March 17, 2019 by Sia Aristidou Leave a Comment

It’s Sia here.

With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart, it is time for me to say Goodbye to Fayi. If you get a moment, please watch my goodbye video message on Facebook.

Chrystalla will continue to bring you amazing recipes, inspiration and passion for Thermomix cooking. She is a very talented recipe developer and extremely passionate about what she does. I will be cheering from the sidelines as I watch Chrystalla grow Fayi into the next phase of it’s journey.

But if it’s ok, I’d like to take a quick trip down memory lane and reminisce on some the special moments that we spent together building Fayi Cookbooks:

We published our very first recipe about 3 years ago and now have 4 ebooks, and two print books over 200 converted recipes on the Fayi blog….

There have been so many memorable moments… like the time we met George Calombaris gave him a copy of our Mezze Cookbook:

and the time that we won the “Best Baklava Competition” at Brisbane’s Paniyiri Festival:

Meeting and collaborating with lots of amazing bloggers including Cooking with Tenina, Bec & Joe from The 4 Blades, Life with Lailah Rose, Nikalene Riddle Skinnymixers, Jo and Tracey Additive Free Lifestyle, The Merry Maker Sisters, Jessie Reimers, Peta TRTLMT, Leonie Cavill ThermoFun and Tanya Halse Aussie TM5 Thermomixer. I know that there are few more amazing people who I want to add to this list… but I can’t find photos of us together. So I will PM you and thank you personally xx:

We hosted cooking classes together, live events, demonstrations, fate stalls, podcast, radio and video interviews:

We celebrated when our first book shipment arrived, and then spent hours and hours of packing, wrapping and shipping them all out to the wonderful people who purchased a book from us before we had even written it. Thank you to all of our amazing fans and readers who trusted us and supported us when we just had a simple vision and an idea. Through your support we turned our dream into a reality. Thank you..

Then, our Mezze Cookbook won bronze place in the Independent Publisher Book Awards in 2017. We were so proud of this achievement 🙂

And we did all of this whilst juggling two babies (each), family commitments, and our crazy busy life as mums…

It was so much fun!!

I will treasure every moment of this journey.

Thank you very much for supporting me throughout the years.

I will be eternally grateful for this experience.

Sia xx

The Best Thermomix Recipes of 2018

January 18, 2019 by Sia Aristidou Leave a Comment

Happy New Year!

Did you make Vasilopita on the 1st of January?

It is so heartwarming to see so many people use our Thermomix recipe to make vasilopita this year. Thank you to everyone who shared a photo on our Facebook page. Here are a few snaps that we love…

Did you know that it was the Vasilopita recipe that started FAYI in the first place?

Chrystalla had an amazing recipe on the Thermomix Recipe Community and Sia asked if she could share the recipe on her blog. The rest is history. Fayi was born…

It has been an amazing journey so far with the creation of our print book MEZZE + the Christmas Collection ebook, the Easter Collection ebook and launching very soon the Salad Collection and Dr Sandra Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse (formally known as the Trio Detox).
