What should I make in my Thermomix?

You can make breakfast, lunch and dinner in a Thermomix. Porridge and pancakes are good breakfast ideas, while soups and quiches are great lunchtime meals. For dinner, consider steamed fish, risotto and pasta sauces like bolognese.

Do professional chefs use Thermomix?

Yes, Thermomix devices are used in some top restaurants around the world. They’re precise devices, so they are often given tasks that need accuracy, such as pastry production or making sauces that need to be emulsified. For example, Thermomixes are often used to make mayonnaise, béarnaise sauce and custard.

What can Thermomix not do?

Using a Thermomix in Ireland, or anywhere else, for deep frying is a no-go. These devices simply don’t offer this sort of functionality. A Thermomix won’t roast or oven-bake. There is no pressure cooker function, and you cannot sear or char-grill with one, either.

How do you make scrambled eggs in Thermomix?

Add four eggs, 20g of butter and 40ml of milk to the Thermomix’s bowl. Set it at 80°C on speed three and cook for three minutes. If you have a Thermomix TM6, use its thickening mode. If the scrambled eggs are a little runny, then cook for a further minute at speed 2.

What does a Thermomix replace in the kitchen?

A Thermomix does away with the need for a coffee grinder, a steamer, a food processor, an electric whisk and a slow cooker. It will also replace the need for scales, a chopping board, a dough kneader and a kitchen thermometer when in use.

Learn About the Thermomix and How to Use It

Thermomixes are devices made by a German manufacturer called Vorwerk. They are multi-function gadgets that can replace many of the devices you will find in typical Irish kitchens today. Not only do they do a lot of the work that is often called for in meal preparation, but they cook food, as well. Consequently, they bridge the gap between being a space-saving gadget and a time-saving device.

Simply put, a Thermomix can chop, blend, mix, knead, steam and weigh ingredients. What’s more, a Thermomix is often able to cook them to perfection, as well. They are popular in domestic kitchens, but they are also now widely used in restaurants, too, thanks to their versatility and great cooking accuracy. If you own a Thermomix TM5, then you will be able to use it to perform all of the culinary tasks mentioned above.

However, Vorwerk has also introduced a more up-to-date model, the Thermomix TM6. This is a Wi-Fi-enabled Thermomix that offers even more cooking features, such as sous vide functions and caramelisation. It can obtain updates over the cloud and is, therefore, designed to be continually improved through user feedback from all over the world. The Thermomix TM6 also has an updated touchscreen compared to the earlier version.

People who like to cook with a great deal of precision will often be attracted by what a Thermomix can do. They’re particularly effective when it comes to consistent thicknesses with sauces and dressings. It can also cook fish to perfection, so this hake and Hollandaise sauce recipe (which contains both a sauce and a fish) would be the sort of thing many cooks would want to use their Thermomix for.

Anything that calls for a batter to be made is also often more quickly prepared in a Thermomix than by any other method. You can use them to make a batter for deep-fried fish (although a Thermomix cannot deep-fry), as well as a light and fluffy batter for waffles or pancakes. This tasty cinnamon pancake recipe is just the sort of recipe that can be more easily perfected — and sped up — by using a Thermomix.

Note, however, that the guided cooking methods of a Thermomix do require some adjustments. For this reason, traditional cooking methods will still be preferred in some Irish kitchens — it is simply a matter of preference.
