Since welcoming the Thermomix into my kitchen, it’s like having a sous chef working alongside me.  Not only has this versatile kitchen appliance become my trusted sous-chef, but it has also transformed the way I approach cooking and has definitely made it fun and enjoyable for my kids. Today, I want to share how the Thermomix has simplified my life by rendering several kitchen items and tasks obsolete.

If you’re curious about why Baby Yoda made an appearance in the picture, it’s all thanks to my son’s playful imagination! He thought it would add a fun twist to the scene – kids, right?

Out with the old: How Thermomix revolutionized my kitchen

Redundant appliances: One of the biggest changes in my kitchen is how a bunch of my old gadgets have disappeared. The blender, for example, is pretty much gone. The Thermomix blends so well that I don’t need a separate blender for smoothies, purees, or even crushed ice for cocktails anymore.

Same with my food processor—it’s basically just been sitting there. The Thermomix does all the chopping, grinding, and making dips, so I don’t really need it anymore. And the stand mixer? I still have mine, mostly for sentimental reasons. The Thermomix can even knead dough for bread or pizza, whip up fluffy meringues, and even mix cake batters with ease.

I also got rid of my steamer because with the Thermomix doing such an outstanding job at steaming, my dedicated steamer started gathering dust in a neglected corner of my kitchen. It felt like I had this gadget taking up precious counter space, and I hardly ever used it. I had to stop and think if it was finally time to bid farewell to my steamer.

Now, my rice cooker, which I often use a lot, has found itself on the back shelf. The Thermomix’s precise temperature control ensures perfectly cooked rice every time, eliminating the need for a dedicated rice cooker. Also, it’s beneficial to make rice with the Thermomix, especially for those with diabetes, but I will explain this in another post.

Measuring tools: I don’t even have to dig around for measuring cups and spoons anymore. The built-in scale on the Thermomix is a total game-changer and one of the reasons I love it so much. I can weigh everything right in the bowl, which saves time and cuts down on mess. Whether I’m measuring flour for baking or portioning out ingredients, it’s super accurate and makes cooking easier.

Manual chopping and mixing: Chopping vegetables used to be a labourious task that I dreaded. But with the Thermomix, I can simply toss in the ingredients, set the chopping speed, and let it do the work. No more tears from chopping onions, and no more sore arms from endless slicing and dicing.

Mixing and kneading are also a breeze. Whether it’s whipping up a batch of pancake batter or kneading dough for fresh bread, the Thermomix’s consistent results have made these once-tedious tasks a thing of the past. The hands-on effort has been replaced by the soothing hum of this culinary wonder.

Recipe books and guides: I used to rely heavily on my collection of cookbooks and recipe guides. Now, with the Thermomix, I have access to an extensive library of recipes and guided cooking programs right on its touchscreen interface. Whether I’m in the mood for a classic Italian dish or want to experiment with a new dietary preference, the Thermomix has become my culinary companion.

It’s like having a chef in my kitchen, guiding me through each step with clear instructions. I can confidently tackle recipes I once considered daunting, all thanks to the Thermomix’s user-friendly interface. My kids absolutely love it. It’s been a wonderful learning experience for them as well.

The hassle of cleaning:

I used to dread the post-cooking cleanup routine like it was a chore from the abyss. Pots, pans, cutting boards, and a mountain of utensils would accumulate after every meal. But the Thermomix has a magical trick up its sleeve – the self-cleaning function. After I’m done cooking, all it takes is a splash of water, a dash of detergent, and a click of the pre-clean program, and bam! The Thermomix takes care of the mess, leaving me with a sparkling clean mixing bowl. Well, I still have to rinse out the detergent and water, but the reduced cleanup effort has been a game-changer!

I still can’t believe how much this appliance has changed my kitchen life. It’s not just helped me get better at cooking—it’s made everything easier. It’s like having a little kitchen assistant that takes care of so many tasks, leaving me more time to enjoy cooking and less time stressing over the details. The Thermomix hasn’t just cleared out clutter—it’s turned my kitchen into a place full of creativity and convenience.
