You should have a heady aroma throughout your kitchen when cooking this. If you want to continue (and you don’t need your TM for another Christmix job), check water levels and cook again as needed. You can store cooled cooked mixture in a jar in the fridge and just return it to Thermomix bowl with more water as required for Christmix on demand!
