Sustainable September is the perfect opportunity to make conscious choices that benefit both our planet and our well-being. If you’re a Thermomix enthusiast, you’re in luck! This versatile kitchen appliance can be a fantastic ally in your quest for sustainability. From reducing food waste to saving energy, your Thermomix can help you make eco-friendly choices effortlessly. In this article, we’ll explore five simple ways to support Sustainable September using your Thermomix, making it easier than ever to make a positive impact on our environment.

  1. Plan Your Meals Wisely

Cookidoo menu planningOne of the cornerstones of sustainable living is reducing food waste, and your Thermomix can be your greatest ally in this endeavour. With its precise measurements and cooking capabilities, it helps you prepare just the right amount of food. To get started, plan your meals for the week using Cookidoo, and use your Thermomix to assist you in portion control and preparation.

Try batch cooking using your Thermomix, preparing larger quantities of food, and then storing it in reusable containers. This not only saves time but also reduces packaging waste from store-bought convenience foods.

Additionally, your Thermomix can help you create delicious meals from leftovers, transforming yesterday’s dinner into today’s gourmet lunch. By minimizing food waste, you’ll not only support Sustainable September but also save money and reduce your carbon footprint.

  1. Embrace Local and Seasonal Ingredients Seasonal food

Choosing local and seasonal ingredients is another vital step towards sustainable living. By supporting local farmers and reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation, you can make a significant impact.

Your Thermomix can assist in this effort by helping you explore new recipes that highlight seasonal produce. Utilize the recipe community and online resources to discover delightful dishes that match what’s available in your region during September.

Consider preserving excess seasonal fruits and vegetables using your Thermomix to make jams,, or pickles. These homemade delights not only reduce food waste but also promote self-sufficiency and support local agriculture.

  1. Make Your Own Staples

Kitchen staplesReducing your reliance on store-bought staples can significantly contribute to sustainability. Many packaged products come with excessive plastic packaging and long ingredient lists that may contain additives and preservatives.

Your Thermomix can empower you to make homemade staples like nut butter, bread, and yogurt. By doing so, you not only have control over the ingredients but also cut down on single-use plastic waste. When you buy ingredients in bulk, you further reduce packaging waste.

Experiment with making your own plant-based milks using ingredients like almonds, oats, or soybeans. It’s not only more sustainable but can also be cost-effective in the long run.

  1. Energy-Efficient Cooking

Energy savingsEfficiency is a key component of sustainability. Luckily, your Thermomix is designed to be energy-efficient. It’s a multi-purpose appliance that can perform a wide range of cooking tasks in one pot, saving time and energy.

When using your Thermomix, consider using the Varoma steaming attachment. This method is not only healthier but also consumes less energy compared to boiling or frying. Plus, it preserves the nutrients in your food.

To further reduce energy consumption, be mindful of preheating your Thermomix. In most cases, it’s not necessary, and you can start cooking right away.

Finally, remember to make the most of your Thermomix’s timer and temperature control features. These functions allow you to set precise cooking times and temperatures, helping you avoid overcooking and wasting energy.

  1. Eco-Friendly Cleaning

CleanAfter preparing delicious sustainable meals with your Thermomix, it’s time to consider the eco-friendliness of your cleaning routine. Traditional cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that harm the environment. Instead, opt for green and homemade cleaning solutions.

Your Thermomix can be instrumental in making these eco-friendly cleaners. For instance, use it to create an all-purpose cleaner with ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils. This not only reduces plastic waste from store-bought cleaners but also minimizes the environmental impact of chemical runoff.

When cleaning your Thermomix itself, utilize its self-cleaning function whenever possible. This efficient feature saves water and energy compared to manual washing.

As you embark on your Sustainable September journey, your Thermomix can be your trusted companion in making eco-conscious choices. By reducing food waste, embracing local ingredients, making your own staples, cooking efficiently, and adopting eco-friendly cleaning practices, you can contribute to a greener, more sustainable lifestyle. So, dust off your Thermomix, get creative in the kitchen, and let it help you make a positive impact on the planet while enjoying delicious, homemade meals. Sustainable living has never been more attainable, thanks to the versatility of your Thermomix.
