Wow what a machine, wonder what the price is in NZ??? Saw on 'Come dine with me' a woman using one, and it seemed like a fantastic machine, she did all sorts of things with little effort

They are put out by the same company that brings in the Kitchenaid. Saw a demo ( and tasted the results) on the stand at the Melbourne Gift Fair last August.

LOL...fabulous, however, you would have to make very good use of it to justify the cost i guess.The foods that came out of it were tasty and HOT

I'll have to go have a nosey now. Not that I could afford or justify one in this lifetime. But a girl can dream.
Funny thing is I know of a few people that do own it and they are the ones that don't cook and neither do they use their thermo mix. I think they bought it just to look at. On the other hand a know of a canteen that owns one and they rave about it and say it makes things a lot easier. The first time I saw it being used was on Australian Masterchef. I think George made home made custard in it. It looked wonderful.

It kneads breads? And makes sorbets? *gasp* Im so tempted. A kitchen aid mixer is around $950.. and for a few hundred more you can get this. Man..decisions decisions. It sounds too good to be true.

Here is all it does off the thermo mix website
Saving Time With Thermomix
Thermomix is one of a kind! Take a look at what it can do… and just imagine how much time and money you can save!
My Vitamix blender does all those things except for steaming and it's $1000 cheaper. I love it. Great for hot soups as the jug will heat to boiling point and also makes instant icecream. The jug is virtually unbreakable which is a nice change from most blender jugs.

That is interesting. Are you saying that your Vitamix also mills grains into flour!

The thermomix is a different machine to the one on this web page.hence the difference in price. They do look fantastic.if I was 30 yrs younger and setting up my kitchen I would be very keen to get one.
