Thermomix Cost Saving: Sugar
How do you save money with your Thermomix? There are so many ways that owning a Thermomix can help you save you a little or a lot off your weekly grocery bill that I thought I’d share some of my Top Tips!
In this series of blog posts, I will share Thermomix Cost Saving tips, starting with Sugar…
Sugar! How Many Different Types Of Sugar Do You Have In The Cupboard?
Do you buy granulated sugar, caster sugar, and icing sugar? Purchasing different types of sugar is not only not economical but it’s also taking space in your cupboard. I live in London, with small kitchens and even smaller cupboards. Sugar sitting in the cupboard waiting to be used is not very economical. Plus, these sugars take up valuable pantry space.
How do you make caster sugar in the Thermomix?
Add regular granulated sugar to the TM bowl. Mill 2 -3 seconds on Speed 8.
How do you make icing sugar in the Thermomix?
Add regular sugar to the TM bowl. Mill 1 minute on Speed 8. If you want the icing to be even finer. wait until the TM bowl cools (it will get hot from friction) then mill again for 1 minute on Speed 8.
Top tip
To ensure that your sugar grinds perfectly, use a maximum of 100g in the TM bowl and repeat if a larger quantity is needed.
The cost saving is incredible.
- 1 kg granulated sugar is 65p
- 1 kg of caster sugar is £1.60
- 1 kg of icing sugar is £1.70
As you can see you can save at least £1 each time you stop buying caster or icing sugar.
