Thermomix® & Cookidoo®

I’m all for home cooking and making as much from scratch as possible. Still, I’m a pragmatist and will use any time saving device I can to make it more efficient. That’s why I have been a Thermomix® user since 2006. It is also why I am a Thermomix® Consultant in the US.

What is a Thermomix®?


The Thermomix®, developed by Vorwerk, has come a long way since its early beginnings in the 1960s. What started as a simple soup blender has evolved into a multi-functional, smart kitchen appliance used by home cooks and chefs worldwide.

The Thermomix® is very popular in Australia, Asia, and Europe where it has been sold for decades. It’s a well-known household name in these regions with many enthusiastic fans. I bought my first Thermomix (the TM31) in 2008, and it’s still going strong. I have just upgraded to the TM6, the newest model because the technology has come so far. Thermomix® is now sold in 80 countries.

Thermomix® is relatively new to the US market and very few have heard of it. I am such an enthusiast, in 2024, I chose to become a Thermomix® Consultant. I’m always excited to share how this amazing machine can transform your cooking. In the US, they are best purchased through a Consultant. You will get free shipping. You will also be kept abreast about the latest deals. Your Thermomix® Consultant will provide training and support to ensure you make the most of your appliance.

Features of the TM6

The TM6, is the latest Thermomix® model. It has a loads of features including:

  • High-Precision Cooking: it cooks at temperatures from 37°C to 160°C. Its perfect for everything from melting chocolate to caramelizing onions and stir frying prawns
  • Integrated Recipes: Access to thousands of guided recipes via a built-in touchscreen and Cookidoo, Thermomix’s recipe platform.
  • Self-Cleaning Mode: This is my favourite function – no more scrubbing bowls! It makes cleanup a breeze for anything from a quick rinse to a deep clean for removing fat or caramel.
  • Slow Cook and Sous Vide: These advanced modes let you slow-cook hearty meals. They allow you to sous vide meat and vegetables for perfect tenderness.
  • Versatility: It can chop, knead dough, steam, make yogurt, and even cook jam.

What Do I Make In The Thermomix®?

Fridge and Pantry Staples

  • I regularly make pastes, sauces, condiments, and spreads using the Thermomix. These get stored in mason jars in my fridge for easy access. They can also be stored as cubes in the freezer. I make the tandoori paste on repeat.
  • Using up vegetable scraps: to make a vegetable stock paste. It is my go-to for seasoning soups, stews, and anything else I’m cooking.
  • Blending soups and dips: classics like butternut squash soup and hummus, or something more exotic like Muhammara, a roasted capsicum and walnut dip
  • Creating condiments: I love making chilli jam and mango chutney as it goes well with seafood, poultry and red meat. It also makes toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches “extra” delicious
  • Preparing chopped salads: you add your vegetables and dressing, and it chops and dresses the salad at the same time. A fresh beetroot salad can be whipped up in minutes, is delicious and great for your microbiome health
  • No need for a cake mixer: Whipping up the meringue for a pavlova is a breeze in the Thermomix

All the Basics

  • Cooking rice, grains, lentils, porridge, eggs—even spaghetti—it takes care of it all.
  • Handy for Milling: need 2 tablespoons of rice flour? There is no need to run out to buy an entire bag. Just mill it yourself. Need cinnamon powder, but all you have are cinnamon sticks? Easy – just mill it yourself!
  • Make your own nut butters: This is how I use up all my almost empty packets of nuts, and my homemade Nutella has half the calories, sugar and oil than store bought
  • Make your own nut milks and creams. Cashew cream is a great substitute for coconut milk with much less saturated fats

Complete Meals

Cocktails and Beverages

Most importantly, it has helped to add a lot more variety to our meal rotations. Everything is cooked from scratch so you know exactly what you’re feeding yourself and your family. Not to mention, the money saved from not getting take-away or eating out.
