Has anyone who ordered from TEMPSL received their machine yet please XXJeannine

Jeannine,

I ordered a wee slicer gadget at the same time as the Passata machine (same day as you), gadget arrived yesterday, no sign of machine yet though ... I think it was 8 May when we ordered so we should not fret just yet, a recent Amazon book order took 30 days plus !!

xx Mikey

PS sorry to read about your Lottie getting trashed ..... it must be difficult but ignore the bu**ers and carry on ;D

got mine yesterday Jeannine. What a beast it is too. Very attractive and sturdy looking. Only had a quick glimpse before it went back in the box. Actually it came in two very handy size boxes, which will come in very useful at somestage, or something !!!

I had started to wonder where it had got to, but I suppose it has come all the way from the Channel Isles. Long way to swim.

;D

Mrs KP why was it in two boxes? Maybe there are different types [suppose there must be] but I'd only ever seen the red plastic one & mine came in one box.

MrsKP · « **Reply #24 on:** May 20, 2007, 21:07:17 »

it came in an inner box that was obviously meant for it, and then the outter one was just the packing !

::)

Of course one inside the other! Made me giggle - silly me - I had visions of some super passata machine soooo big & with soooo many extra bits it had to be in 2 boxes - was feeling all inferior like. ;D

MrsKP · « **Reply #26 on:** May 21, 2007, 06:12:21 »

classic!

thanks for that, made me smile just as i was feeling depressed that it was monday!

;D

Marymary · « **Reply #27 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:29:06 »

Actually made me laugh again too! Hopefully enough to keep us both going through Monday. ;D ;D

Thanks for the tip off, great idea for Dad's birthday present!

New Toy ............. just shown up

Postie just delivered my 2 boxes (only one Passata machine ;D)
well pleased nice strong piece of kit and so easy to take to bits.

Do I understand the multilingual instructions correctly, should the Toms be boiled/cooked first ??

sorry just a simple feller' question .... we can't be excellent at everything (wait for it ... hee hee)

Be gentle with me, old, frail, wrinkly on medication, with a desperate will to live (dangerously ;) ;D)

Mikey,
I cut the tomatoes into quarters and partially cook them over a low heat for a few minutes then put them through the machine. Then take all the skins etc and pass them through a couple more times. That way you get all the puree and not just the watery juices.

:P

I can't have read the instructions right when I borrowed one last year - I just cut up the toms and chucked them in, worked great! A lot less messing about than cooking them first ......

Jeannine · « **Reply #35 on:** May 23, 2007, 11:30:42 »

I hope so. because the one I had before was a no cooking one and I won't use it if it is, it would make it just that bit too much of a bother for me .I am a bit nervous now as mine hasn't come yet. I was concerned about the price as the one I had before which I left overseas was ten times the amount of this one,I hope it is not flimsy ???

Tinkie_Bear · « **Reply #36 on:** May 23, 2007, 17:02:10 »

Don't worry Jeannine, they are well built and VERY easy to use - I ordered mine today as I have about 100 tomato plants and can't keep borrowing my friends !! How long ago did you order yours?

Jeannine,

it appears you ordered 2 days after me, so ........... your machine should show up on Thursday 24 May

They are very strongly built

Cheers
Mikey

Well my machine arrived today but very quickly was bundled out of the house and into the garage by John, because as soon as I opened the box I became breathless and when he looked it has a black rubber base which I was reacting to. So I don't know where we go from here. XX Jeannine
