Kitchen appliances you no longer want to miss?

Rice cooker from an Asian shop

Electric juicer for oranges/lemons

Finecut / multi-chopper (manual, not electric)

Then try the Monsieur, it doesn't hurt as much if it's not used after all.

hm... I actually haven't really dealt with the Monsieur yet... I should probably do that sometime, good idea :D

Set times, set temperature, and if I remember correctly, confirm again after each added ingredient and make further settings.

Maybe it was the advisor, but I had the feeling that this thing slows me down rather than speeding things up. That's why we decided against it.

This is due to the limited Guided Cooking function, which was introduced with the TM5 and is chargeable (48 €/year).

In my opinion, the function is the worst. With a bit of experience, you know which settings you need for what, and you are much faster manually.

I tried this function 1 or 2 times within the first free year and was really annoyed. If someone had demonstrated it to me like that, I would never have bought a Thermomix.

... As a device that we have never had before or seen in someone else’s inventory - quooker. hoping to solve the luxury problem of boiling water :) let's see what I can report after some time.

the Quooker is already "cool", my brother has had one for about half a year and it is used intensively for coffee (French Press), tea, cold sparkling water (no more carrying)
BUT: the thing needs plenty of space, costs about 2.5K in the equipment he has, and the original CO2 cartridges are outrageously expensive. There are supposed to be adapters, but since it’s not mine I haven’t looked into it further... nevertheless, the Quooker is quite high on my list of next luxury or nice2have purchases

I got up at 7:00 a.m. on Monday (1st day of vacation), greasy hair under the cap, luckily masks are still mandatory, so you don’t see the unvarnished truth ;) and off to Lidl - I have it now too. Already had the previous model as an assistant, my Monsi, TM for the poor :D
You can buy my old Monsi as an entry-level model, it’s still a bit smaller than the new one or the TM ????

... ordered it online at 0:10 a.m. ;-) didn’t want to experience a battle at the clearance table :p

ordered it online at 12:10 AM ;-) didn’t want to experience a battle at the discount table :p

This time I also wanted one of the cookbooks, they weren’t available online… and that early there was no battle either :p

Yesterday there were still Monsieurs in the 2 Lidln (Lidls Lidl?) where I was. 2 because the first one no longer had sliding boards for the Monsieur. The second one did. Sliding works great with them, finally he no longer stands fixed in his place in the middle of the countertop because he is too heavy to move, but whether he stays still while kneading dough with them I still have to try...
