Thermomix Tips

donnashuggy — Sat, 20 Feb 2016 07:01:14 GMT

I have ordered mine today, not going to change my mind as my lovely mummy is buying it for me.

I'm interested in the more healthy side of cooking, fresh vegies and herbs etc without additives of any kind.

For those that have one, which pages and recipes do you follow?

I don't have one, but I'm looking forward to see what others are making successfully with theirs.

Have fun and be sure to take pictures please xx

It's not the appliance that dictates a healthy menu, it's the ingredients you purchase. Is it true that the Thermomix costs over $1000? You could buy a lot of Big Macs for that much moola.............

Sorry I'm just so over gadgets, they cost too much , take up more cupboard space and gather too much dust.

You can do just as much and be just as healthy in almost the same amount of time with your standard pots and pans etc.

Mine is not going in any cupboard and will not be gathering any dust. Plus it is a gift that I will be using. Daily most likely

the idea of thermomix is

that its all-in-one so you wont

need to use all your other gadgets.

just turn it on and it does it all

for you.

its like a little kitchen inside your

kitchen so once you start using it,

you will never need to put it away.

I have one of the older ones and absolutely love it. Use it at least 8 or 9 times a week. We make our own bread, process herbs and veggies from our garden, jams from fruit we grow. It has completely ruined take away for us as we know we can make at healthier, tastier version at home for much less cost. There are some fabulous facebook groups so look up Skinnymixers, Thermomumma, TM5 Hints & Tips, Thermofun, Cooking With Tenina to start with. Sistermixin' are good for additive free advice but their website is down at the moment.

Thanks very much, all great tips. We rarely have take away anyway. My daugher had her party a few days ago and is loving it. She lives quite remotely so it is really good for her as not all food is readily available all the time.

Yes, I was reading recently on a facebook group that the thermomix was one of the best investments to save on money where food is concerned.

Re: Thermomix Tips

It definitely is a money saver though it may not feel that way at first as you change your pantry over. Lots of great places online to get specialist ingredients too.

Healthy means different things to different people. I like some of Quirky Cooking recipes, some of Thermobexta. Not much of Skinnymixers, although many other people rave about it. Cooking with Tenina (but she's not very 'healthy'), Thermomumma is great if you want to make bread, scrolls, etc, her recipes are very reliable. Thermobread if you want to try sourdoughs, Asian doughs etc. Paleo Lunchbox is good. Jude Blereau Wholefood Cooking. Wholefood Simply. Super Kitchen Machine (Thermomix). Well Fed The Clothes Make The Girl (not a TMX blog but great recipes). The Domestic Man.

My facebook is awash with food groups lol, I follow about 200 🙂

Another dodgy product? Those burns look to be fairly severe and I imagine the cost of treating them would far exceed any potential savings to be gained by using this product.

One needs to buy "special imgredients"?

The thrermomix is nothing more than a "thneed". we don't need one of these lurking in our kitchen just waiting to jump out and pounce with burning claws all unexpectedly.

What's wrong with just buying real food and cooking it in a real manner? the only special ingredients I need are fresh foods, fresh herbs and spices and a few pans and a wok to put on my stove.

We're time poor? try spending a few weeks in a burns unit in a hospital meditating on the slapdash speedy-but-oh-so-dangerous method of preparing what usually turns out to be bas cuisine anyway.

It's a thneed*. it's a product. it makes a promise which it cannot keep and charges heaps of $$$ into the heavily marketed "bargain".

* https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thneed

Business as usual, I suppose.

"My facebook is awash with food groups lol, I follow about 200"

I have a dozen or so good cook books on my bookshelf and an internet connetion which allows me to access an almost unlimited number of recipes.

I don't have a facebook account and nor do I want or need one. I'm just an old-fashioned sort of guy. 😉

I have to say that the Orange Almond cake is AMAZING. But because I am not hungry I can enjoy a slither, it is to die for

i NEVER THOUGHT i WOULD SAY THIS BUT..................I am going to buy a thermomix. I have resisted any attempts by friends to get me to look at them until earlier this month, when I attended a demo.

I am sold.

As Joshcaro said, you don't need an appliance to eat healthy. It's a "look at me" thing and then you can brag to everybody that you have one.

I like to cook healthy and I have a nutri bullet for whizzing whole foods. I don't want an appliance that I have to take lessons to use and I sure wouldn't outlay over $2038 for one that could explode and give me 3rd degree burns.

Enjoy it though if you feel you have to have.
