Cooking with Thermomix
I’m so lucky to meet so many customers and even better when one of them is a writer. Here is her initial experience of using a Thermomix. Thank you so much!
The Thermomix can be overwhelming in its number of functions but is very easy to use. The robot appliance will guide you through the process of selecting a recipe. It handles all the measurements, timing, stirring, speed and heat levels, and fine-tuning. Simply add the ingredients to the bot and follow the instructions.
In the three weeks that I had the machine, I made eight meals. It is possible to understand the machine’s workings by simply following a recipe.
Risotto is a difficult dish that requires careful stirring. Thermomix risotto has become a legend because it can achieve a velvety texture and still retain a little bit of its bite; al dente to perfection.
The Thermomix can be used to freshly grate parmesan. Simply drop a chunk of cheese into the bowl, and turn it on high for a few seconds. It is capable of finely shredding the cheese, not turning it to mush.
Once the cheese is melted, the Wi-Fi-connected recipe will show you the next steps. Once you have added one quartered onion, and a few cloves of garlic and the machine turns the dial, you can close the lid and put the lid back on. The TM6 chops first, then sautees all the vegetables in the bowl. Once the alliums have been sufficiently seasoned, the TM6 will prompt you to add stock or water. After a few minutes, it will turn the heat off and then ask you to add rice. The TM6 will heat the broth and stir the dish continuously to achieve creamy perfection. You will have a restaurant-quality risotto in no time at all.
I prepared a delicious steamed fish dish with broccoli and a spicy cashew sauce. I also tried butter chicken. The idea of making butter chicken from scratch was something I had never tried. However, the Thermomix TM6 guided me through the process, including chopping, stirring, and cooking it. It was creamy and tangy, and it was very easy to make. I also made pretzel buns using the rice cooker mode. You simply make the dough and then bake the buns in your oven.
It is a wonderful way to bring your family’s recipes into the modern age.
One evening, while browsing through Cookidoo for inspiration, I came across a blackberry-gin cocktail called The Blackberry Bramble. It’s quite fun to discover that this device can make cocktails as well as dinner, making your Thermomix bowl a true cocktail shaker. The TM6 created a lovely violet sipper by adding ice, gin, and fresh blackberries. This was a refreshing change from the usual glass of wine.
The new feature of ThermomixTM6 is the ability to create your own recipes with the Cookidoo App. You can enter your ingredients and measurements and then create the steps. The TM6 will execute them in the correct order. This is a great way for your family to share their recipes with you and make them modern.
Thermomix parts can all be washed in a dishwasher. However, you can clean the motor by using hot water and soap. Pre-Clean is a more thorough cleaning process that can be performed automatically.
Thermomix TM6 has been designed to be a versatile and useful kitchen appliance. It can replace many small appliances, such as blenders, food processors, rice cookers, graters, kettles, and rice cookers, and it can automate many cooking and kitchen tasks. You can cook a meal or a single dish with it, and it will even make it easy to prepare the rest of your meals.
It is quite costly at £1189. But when you consider that it can replace nearly half a dozen appliances or prevent you from buying them again, it makes sense that it will pay off quickly. In the UK, they are also financing plans which help spread the cost.
The product seems solid and well-built. However, Thermomix offers a two-year warranty for domestic and one-year for commercial use as well as a 14-day guarantee for any problems.
The Thermomix TM6 can be a great way to learn about cooking and prepare more delicious meals at home and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about getting one.
For anyone reading this in November 2022, and you already own a Thermomix TM6, there is discounted price when you purchase it as part of Vorwerk’s Black Friday sale. You can purchase a TM6 Accessory set which includes second bowl, blade, and lid set (mixing bowl complete) PLUS a Thermomix Green Spatula and a Blade Cover Peeler for £149. This would normally be priced at £213, so you are receiving a 30% discount and saving £64. This offer is only available till 30th November, while stocks last.
Whether the Thermomix is for you or a loved one, I always advise buying through an Advisor. There are many reasons, all of which I have listed in this
