So you’ve
heard all the hype but still have no idea what a Thermomix is and why on earth
you would pay the best part of $2000 for one. Basically a Thermomix will
replace a lot of the appliances you have in your kitchen and it will do a
better and quicker job. Designed in Germany and made in France they are not just the latest fad and have been around for more than 40 years.
A Thermomix will chop,
beat, mix, emulsify, mill, knead, blend, cook, stir, steam and weigh almost
anything you can think of.
Plus hands free cooking: add all the ingredients turn it on and walk
away.
“What about cleaning it?” I hear you ask, “I
bet it’s a pain”. Well no, it’s not. You simply give it a quick rinse, add some
water and a drop of dish washing liquid, and pulse on turbo for a few seconds. Then
rinse it out again – ta da – clean. I’m not kidding.
There are three types of cooking you can do
with your Thermomix:
1. Manual cooking - where you are in total
control and adjust all the settings yourself
2. Guided cooking - with the onboard recipe
chip, the new touch screen allows you to follow step by step instructions telling
you exactly how to make all 180 recipes in the Basic Cook Book
3. Automated cooking (custard, yoghurt
and rice) – the Thermomix will tell you exactly what ingredients to add, then
you start it and walk away
So why do I want to buy one? I want to save money and be more healthy by
cooking things from scratch. Also, I want to eat less takeaways, and I believe
the Thermomix will make cooking meals less laborious and more exciting. I have
heard others say that their children cook with it too - this excites me to get my kids involved with cooking. The first things on my list to cook when I
get my Thermomix are bread, butter, custard, risotto, yoghurt and mashed
potatoes (I’ve heard they are the best).
This really does sum it up, but I think you have to see it to
believe it. So we will see. I’ve ordered mine…
