Thermomix for Professionals

The ThermomixTM6 kitchen appliance is versatile and can do it all. This equipment is perfect for professional and home pastry chefs who want to make dynamic pastries and desserts.

The TM6 smart device handles all the chores of cooking. It can do everything from recipe planning, ingredient shopping, chopping, cooking, and cleaning. Cookidoo is Thermomix’s powerful recipe platform. It features step-by-step instructions that seamlessly guide users through every step of the cooking process. Thermomix automatically adjusts the temperature, cook time, and speed for each step. With just a push of a button, users can whisk, caramelize and brown, chop, steam or saute, stir, boil, knead and more using the appliance’s innovative technology.

Copied from Bakemag.com this article showcases why a professional chef utilises Thermomix.

One of the biggest champions of the Thermomix TM6 is Chef Antonio Bachour. A multiple-time semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Pastry Chef Award, Bachour utilizes the TM6 in his own kitchens and has been using Thermomix products for years. Bachour recently shared with Bake Magazine his advice for bakers and pastry chefs who have Thermomix in their kitchens.

Bake: How can bakers and pastry chefs best utilize the Thermomix to craft desserts and pastries?

Antonio Bachour: Bakers and pastry chefs can use the Thermomix to do almost 100% of the preparation for both desserts and bread – including all creme anglaise, curds, sable, mousse, glazes, breads, and dough, etc. As you can see, I use the Thermomix to do nearly everything. It gives you the perfect texture, allows for 70% less in preparation time, and above all, delivers on precision and consistency for each and every recipe.

With transparency and health being important to consumers, how can Thermomix simplify the ingredient process?

The best thing about the Thermomix is the ability to cook items – such as eggs – that must be prepared at a certain temperature. The Thermomix is the only kitchen tool that can cook at such a precise pre-set temperature and will always have consistency in that temperature. The cooking process is entirely transparent and the ability to maintain the hygiene of the equipment is also key.

When did you first begin using the Thermomix and how has your relationship with the brand evolved from there?

I started using the Thermomix more than 25 years ago in Europe. I was fascinated by the speed of cooking and the amazing culinary textures it allowed me to create. The Thermomix is truly the most important piece of equipment in my kitchen and I use it every day.

Do you use the Thermomix in your personal life, and in what ways?

I do! We have one at home as well as in the bakery – and use it to make nearly everything there, too. I have taught my wife to make soups, vegetables, steam perfectly, make hummus, dips, sauces, breads, and of course, desserts.

You use plenty of fruit and chocolate in your pastries. Are these products ideal for use in Thermomix recipes?

Yes! I temper chocolate, make all of the fruit purees, and creams and mousse in the TM6. We also make all of the ganaches for the truffles and macarons in the Thermomix. Virtually any pastry ingredient is ideal for use in the Thermomix.

The Thermomix prices are as follows:

TM6 with one bowl, £1189 – £990.83 ex VAT
Chef packages, TM6 with two bowls, £1358 – £1131.67

And until Friday 16th December 2022, the ‘chef package’ is our current offer. Thermomix TM6 plus a second bowl, £1219. For an extra £30, you can buy a second bowl. This works out to a retail saving of £139, and in commercial terms the chef package for £1015.83 ex VAT.

Why you shouldn’t wait for a 0% finance offer to buy a Thermomix

4 Comments / Blog

How many times do I get customers contacting me, asking “when the next 0% is?” Well, I can safely say that we won’t be having another zero-percent finance offer in 2022, but I will also like to point out why you shouldn’t wait for a 0% finance offer to buy a Thermomix.

Time-Saving: The Thermomix saves time in both the preparation and cooking of your food. A carrot cake mixture takes 30 seconds, a creamy, smooth custard takes 6 minutes and soup which would normally take 1-2 hours on the hob, will cook in 15 minutes from start to finish. Since I have had a Thermomix, I save 45 minutes to 1 hour in the kitchen every meal. Time is money, and the time I save in the kitchen standing, stirring, chopping etc, means I can do something more productive.
Space Saving: our Thermomix replaces over 20 other appliances in the kitchen, so you can throw out (or eBay) your other space-consuming kitchen appliances – food processor, bread machine, juicer, coffee grinder, rice cooker, slow cooker, electric whisks, and electronic scales, safely in the knowledge that one machine does it all. I don’t know about you, but the space saving alone is a reason to buy a Thermomix, especially in cities.
Cost Saving: Although widely used by professional chefs in commercial kitchens, it was designed for use in the home. The serious home cook will benefit from savings of over £1000 a year on food costs and also appreciate the time-saving benefits, including lower energy costs. The average customers saves 10-20% of their weekly shop by the cost savings in not having to buy processed food, or by only buying what they need with Cookidoo’s shopping facility. Many says, that even with more baking and oven usage, their energy bills go down. In today’s market both of these are huge financial savings.

I’ve been a customer and Advisor for so long, that I know these three points to be true. I have also been an Advisor long enough to know that we sold without offers. The Thermomix was x-price and people bought it because of the features, functions & possibilities of how Thermomix could change the way they could by owning one.

Nowadays, where we have regular customer offers, everyone is waiting for that better offers – an additional up-sell gift at a discount, a bundle with a Thermomix Friend or second bowl, a zero-percent finance offer, etc. But rather than wait, let me show you how buying a Thermomix in the month that you want it, in the month that you need it, and in the month that you discover it will always be the wisest option.

Let’s take today for example. I have just been asked when the next 0% finance offer will be. As I said, it won’t come around in 2022 again, but the current deal actually saves more money in the purchase costs than the 0% does anyway.

Let me show you how.

Thermomix TM6: £1189 on our regular 9.9% finance

If I take the 12-month plan, the total payable amount is £1251, which is £62 more in total. Divide that by 12 months, and it’s £5.16 a month in finance costs.
If I take the 24-month plan, the total payable amount is £1301.16, which is £121.16 more in total. Divide that by 24 months, it’s £5.04 a month in finance costs.
You get the idea it’s about £5 a month more.

Thermomix TM6: £1189 on 0% finance

Yes, there’s no finance payable but the 0% finance is only available on the 12-month plan.
So for anyone wanting to pay 24, 36 and 48 month payment options, you don’t have access to 0%. You’d have to pay the 9.9% options above.
In 0% months, we tend to get many applications of consumers not wanting to save money (we all want to save money), but equally we get a lot of declined applications due to affordability.

Thermomix TM6 Black Friday 2022 Offer

Currently, we have a Black Friday offer which is a Thermomix TM6 and a second bowl, for £1219. This is a cost-saving of £139 as a second bowl is priced at £169.

If I take the 12-month plan, the total payable amount is £1282.56, which is £63.56 more in total. Divide that by 12-months, it’s £5.29 a month in finance costs.
If I take the 24-month plan, the total payable amount is £1343.04, which is £124.04 more in total. Divide that by 24 months, its £5.16 a month in finance costs.
It’s still about £5 a month more.
But here’s the trick. This offer gives you a second bowl with a saving of £139, so actually even paying the finance costs on 12 or 24-month plans and you are still better off than waiting for a 0% finance plan.
Actually, you’re £15 better off with a second bowl.

As you can see having an Advisor who understands Thermomix/ Vorwerk offers and the many advantages of buying now, rather than crying later. I guarantee you are making the right choice.

Christmas Gifting – Thermomix Chocolate Truffles

Leave a Comment / Blog

Christmas is around the corner and homemade Christmas gifts are a great cost-saving and a way to show you care. Here’s a recipe for Chocolate Truffles made in the Thermomix and the cost saving you can have compared to buying it.

Ingredients

300 g dark chocolate, small pieces or callets
100 g milk chocolate, small pieces or callets
300 g double cream
20 g unsalted butter, diced
1 pinch fine sea salt
4 tsp brandy

20 g desiccated coconut
20 g cocoa powder
80 g pistachio nuts, unsalted
80 g roasted hazelnuts

Preparation

Truffles

Place dark chocolate and milk chocolate in mixing bowl then grate 10 sec/speed 8.
Add cream, butter and salt then melt 5 min/50°C/speed 3. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula then melt again 1-2 min/50°C/speed 2 until smooth. Set scales to zero then remove 350 g mixture to a bowl (scales will show -350 g) and set aside.
Add brandy and mix 6 sec/speed 3. Transfer to another bowl, cover and label each bowl then set aside in fridge until just firm (approx. 2 hours). Meanwhile, clean mixing bowl and prepare coatings.

Coatings

Place a bowl on mixing bowl lid, weigh in coconut and set aside. Place another bowl on mixing bowl lid, weigh in cocoa powder and set aside.
Place pistachios in mixing bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 6. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Place hazelnuts in mixing bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 6. Transfer to another bowl and set aside.

Assembly

Once chocolate is just firm, take approx. ½ heaped Tbsp mixture at a time and roll into balls, then roll in coating of choice. Place in gift boxes or wrap in cellophane to give as gifts.

Hints & Tips

These rich, indulgent truffles wouldn’t look out of place in a chocolatiers window, and they are deceptively simple to make when you have a Thermomix®! Stored in the fridge until ready to package up, these make a beautiful gift for your friends and family; simply adjust the flavour and coatings according to their tastes.
Adjust flavourings according to taste. Orange extract, peppermint extract, almond extract, Cointreau, Kahlua or cherry brandy also work well.
The coatings can be varied too; try chopping different types of nuts, freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries.

Thermomix Friend Explained

1 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

Thermomix Friend is small, compact; ready for use, or easy to put away.
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.
Thermomix Friend is ideal for time savings and bulk cooking.
Thermomix Friend can be used in conjunction with Thermomix through guided cooking or can be used standalone manually.
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?

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.
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.

Thermomix Slider

Leave a Comment / Blog

The Thermomix Slider is the latest product launched by Vorwerk. It beautifully complements the Thermomix by ensuring stability and easy handling. Not only does it help move the Thermomix on the worktop, but it also supports the longevity of the actual digital scale (whose sensors are within the three Thermomix feet). Some of us may forget to use the dedicated silver handle when moving the Thermomix, ignoring the fact that by doing the scale can be damaged. The use of the slider, on the other hand, prevents damage while ensuring the Thermomix’s stability.

Compatible with both TM6 and TM5
Ideal for those who have difficulty lifting or moving a Thermomix®

How to buy Thermomix as a gift

Leave a Comment / Blog

A Thermomix as a gift is one of the nicest presents one can receive. Why? Well, since it’s one appliance that does it all; chopping, mixing, mincing, grinding, kneading, whipping, and juicing, as well as cooking, stirring, and weighing ingredients; then it’s really the only thing you would need in the kitchen.

Thermomix Gift List Wedding Thermomix Gift List New Home Thermomix Gift List Baby Shower

There really is nothing really like a Thermomix as a wedding gift, housewarming present, for a new baby, or for a big birthday because this kitchen workhorse will be useful several times a week and they last forever. Not to mention the great fun newlyweds or new parents will enjoy together cooking and eating well. Remember, a Thermomix will replace more than 20- other kitchen appliances and will replace all other appliances; say goodbye to your blender, juicer, coffee grinder, food processor, grater, kitchen scales, mincer, mixer, bread maker, ice cream maker and so much more! It cooks and steams. There really is no other appliance on the market that even comes close to offering you the benefits and value you will enjoy with a Thermomix!

I am often asked how to process a gift order, so I thought I’d write a quick blog post giving you step-by-step of all scenarios.

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 previous listing. No matter who the end customer is or where they live, they will be fully supported by me. Since COVID, we have successfully sold all over the UK and I host regularly zoom demonstrations and classes with my team.

Purchases from the UK office can only deliver within the UK, so here is the process will differ where the purchaser resides.

If the purchaser and end-user live in the UK

We create an order using the purchaser’s bank billing address and then the end user’s name, address, email, and mobile phone number for delivery. We need all these details as the Thermomix is delivered using a courier service, DPD, and they send a one-hour delivery window text to the recipient.

To create an order, I will need either to process your order over the phone or if you prefer, I can also arrange a proforma invoice and create a pay-by-link (PBL) for you to pay. This is the easiest and quickest way to process an order, as we can do it on my online Advisor portal but I believe in consumer choice, so whatever you feel most comfortable with, is what we will do.

The purchaser will receive the invoice so the end-user doesn’t see the price, but since the appliance is in their name, they can access all Thermomix user benefits, such as the demonstration and ongoing support with me, cooking classes both online and face-to-face at the local branches, warranty, etc.

If the purchaser is abroad but the end-user lives in the UK

We still need to create an order using the purchaser’s bank billing address and then the end user’s name, address, email, and mobile phone number for delivery. We need all these details as the Thermomix is delivered using a courier service, DPD, and they send a one-hour delivery window text to the recipient.

However, the online portal is not available to those living abroad. We can only do these types of orders via proforma invoice and depending on where you live, can do a pay-by-link as above, or a bank transfer. If you live within the EU, we can do a PBL, however, for the rest of the world, you will need to do a bank transfer.

I still need all the details to create a proforma (the purchaser’s bank billing address and then the end user’s name, address, email, and mobile phone number for delivery), but this time, I will email the office, create a proforma for you and then you will do the bank transfer using the Purchase Invoice details as reference. Bank transfers can either be instantaneous or can take anywhere up to 14 working days to clear, but rest assured, as your dedicated Advisor I will be chasing the office to check when the money has been received and for them to process your order confirmation.
