Why is the Thermomix not worth it? ›

Reasons to avoid a Thermomix

It can't brown or caramelise very well in large batches: This is due to the small surface area of the jug. If you are sauteeing meat for slow cooking for example, it's best to do so in small batches.

If you don't already own a high-powered blender, a stand mixer, a slow cooker, a rice cooker, a sous vide and a steamer, the Thermomix makes an adequate stand in for all of these—if you have the budget to shell out two grand.

The functionality of Thermomix® TM6 is second to none. TM6 is a portable cooker, blender, food processor, mixer for baking, and so much more. Discover all the functions and see what's possible as you chop, blend, steam, cook, stir, whisk, mill, weigh, mince, and sauté all in one sleek cooking appliance.

Thermomix's controversial TM31 model was recalled in 2014 following 14 reported cases of users being burned by hot liquids due to a faulty seal.

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. I've had people say, more than once, 'I don't need a Thermomix, I'm a good cook'.

For professional kitchens, Thermomix has become the tool of choice for blending, purées, hot and cold sauces, ice-cream mixes, crème pât, and much more. Thermomix purées are so fine that you can reduce or eliminate passing/sieving.

Time and again, Thermomix® wins 'Favourite Sous Chef' hands down among an impressive (and growing) brigade of top chefs worldwide.

If you had one recipe to recommend people get started with, what would it be? I would have to say the Chunky Bolognese. It's such a popular one and really highlights just how good Thermomix ® cooking really is – and it's so healthy.

Is Thermomix® a multi level marketing (MLM) company or a pyramid scheme? No, Thermomix® does not operate as a multi level marketing (MLM) company.

What is Aldi Thermomix called? ›

Billed as 10 appliances in one with 10 different speeds, the Aldi Stirling Thermo Cooker claims to mix, emulsify, knead, sauté, stir, puree, smoothie, crush, steam and mill and has an in-built scale to weigh out ingredients.

The Vitamix does the grinding, milling and blending too but the difference here is in the sheer speed it takes to do these things. The Thermomix simply has far greater power. It has a reverse speed which stirs or blends with the dull side of the blades so as not to continue chopping or grinding your ingredients.

Its durability ensures it will be a reliable companion in your kitchen for many years. The average lifespan is typically several years or more. In fact, I know many people that still have their TM31 machines they purchased from me around 15 years ago.

It will cost $1,499, plus shipping and applicable taxes.

A Thermomix is technically self-cleaning, so after use you can fill the bowl with water to cover the blades, and add a drop of dishwashing liquid. Pulse on the turbo setting for a few seconds. Tip out the soapy water, replace with clean water and pulse again for a couple of seconds.

Whether or not you invest in a Thermomix will come down to a number of factors, price potentially being the main one. While they are above what some are willing to pay for an appliance, they do tend to last for many years and offer plenty of functions and features.
