Thermomix Friend Explained

Leave a Comment / Blog

Thermomix Friend is a cooking companion for your Thermomix. It is designed to cook with the Thermomix® TM6 and TM5. The Thermomix Friend operates on the reverse and up to speed 2, in the temperature range of 37°C to Varoma, and with a cooking time of up to 2 hours. In this blog post, I will give you the top 5 benefits of owning a Thermomix Friend and why you would want one in your kitchen.

TOP 5 BENEFITS OF THERMOMIX FRIEND

  1. Thermomix Friend is small, compact; ready for use, or easy to put away.
  2. Thermomix Friend is a complementary accessory to your Thermomix, it can only go up to speed 2 and is always in reverse. It makes it perfect for simmering, sauteing, and stirring. 
  3. Thermomix Friend is ideal for time savings and bulk cooking.
  4. Thermomix Friend can be used in conjunction with Thermomix through guided cooking or can be used standalone manually.
  5. Thermomix can be used for parallel cooking – for example – making two sauces for a midweek meal – tomato sauce in one, cheese sauce in the other – ideal for fussy later, those with allergies or simply to create more choice at dinner time.

WHAT THE THERMOMIX FRIEND ISN’T?

  1. It isn’t a Thermomix replacement.  The Thermomix Friend can be used alongside the Thermomix TM5 and Thermomix TM6 using blue-tooth and guided cooking, but it does not replace a Thermomix.
  2. It cannot chop or blend. The Thermomix Friend operates on the reverse and up to speed 2. Therefore, the initial chopping for a recipe, such as a soup or a curry, needs to be done in the Thermomix and then the bowl transferred to your Thermomix Friend to free up your Thermomix to do something else.

DO YOU REALLY NEED IT?

Well, that is the million-dollar (or pound) question, isn’t it?

If you have a Thermomix TM5 or Thermomix TM6 and need more capacity, then I think it’s great. Priced at £529 for the base and bowl bundle, this is an excellent option to upscale your kitchen. You’ll on my Youtube channels or my Tasty Thursday events, I have really been enjoying using the Thermomix Friend multiple times each week since I received mine in December 2020. I use it mainly for making rice or potatoes and then using the Varoma to steam above it.

Here is a video of my making one of the Thermomix Friend dishes – a delicious Salmon with Potatoes and Mushroom Creamy sauce found on Cookidoo here.

I have had many customers who currently have a Thermomix TM5 and were thinking of upgrading to Thermomix TM6 and Thermomix Friend. At this point, my independent opinion is to keep your Thermomix TM5 and upgrade to the Thermomix TM6. Why? Well, we’ve always said, what’s better than one Thermomix but two. Having two Thermomixes gives you the capabilities of truly doubling your cooking experience and if you have space, then keep it. We all know the value of a Thermomix once we have one in our kitchen, and if upgrading means selling yours on, then we also know that the resale market doesn’t really appreciate the real value of it. You are likely to get £600-750 for a Thermomix TM5 on the second-hand market, but it’s probably worth a lot more than that in reality.

So in my opinion, the Thermomix Friend is amazing. Just like any product that Vorwerk brings out, this is game-changing and ahead of the times. It’s the most perfect accessory for our Thermomixes. The price point is approximately half the cost of a Thermomix, so with that, the features and capabilities are also reduced.  But as an accessory, it’s amazing; you will love it as much as you love your Thermomix.

For October 2022, the Thermomix Friend Bundle is only £199, saving you £330, and a blade cover peeler worth £32 for free. For what it’s worth, a second bowl is normally £169. So this month, for any purchases. Both of these items customers eventually buy anyway, so you’re essentially getting the Thermomix Friend for free. So it is worth it, hell yes, it’s free. 

If you would like to see the Thermomix Friend in action, now that it is available to buy in the UK, please get in touch with me on Ankita@onegirlandherthermie.co.uk, or send me a text/ Whatsapp or call me on 07977 563537. I look forward to hearing from you.

Christmas Gift Ideas: Thermomix Friend

Leave a Comment / Blog

Thinking of buying a Christmas gift for someone who has everything, including a Thermomix, then let me introduce you to the Thermomix Friend.

When paired with your Thermomix TM6 or Thermomix TM5, the Thermomix Friend helps you simultaneously prepare multiple courses or even split a recipe into two to cater to varying tastes or dietary requirements. Think of curry in your Thermomix and rice in your Thermomix Friend, or splitting a sauce recipe to make Puttanesca Sauce in one and Tomato sauce in the other.

The Thermomix Friend is connected via Bluetooth to your Thermomix and the on-screen instructions tell you exactly when to transfer bowls of ingredients from one device to the other. The result is everything is prepared on time and cooked to perfection.

It isn’t a Thermomix replacement.  The Thermomix Friend can be used alongside the Thermomix TM5 and Thermomix TM6 using blue-tooth and guided cooking, but it does not replace a Thermomix. But if you have a Thermomix TM5 or Thermomix TM6 and need more capacity, then I think it’s great.

Many clients ask me what accessories they can buy once they are in love with their Thermomixes, and this one is a nice-add on. It’s a nice-to-have, rather than a must-have. However, at the price points, especially if you have a second bowl, the Thermomix Solo is an ideal gift under the tree.

The beauty of our new Hitachi finance, that you can also finance this Thermomix Friend Solo purchase on finance and spread the payments over 12, 24, and 36 months. Give me a call at 07977 563537 or send me an email and I’ll help you
