Thermomix (discussion and feedback)

The new model also has auto modes, such as custard, boiled rice, natural yogurt.
And also a bunch of recipes where speeds are set with the ability to adjust during cooking.
For example, according to the recipe, it offers speed 3 and temperature 90, and the user can select other parameters or agree with these and turn the knob.
And what are the auto modes in Proficuk that cannot be repeated and cooked in Thermomix?
Well, it is somehow incorrect to compare with proficiency, a different price range is still the quality of workmanship.

I went now to specifically look what kind of auto modes are in Profiquk.
If you take the soup mode, then the process is also not in one action, first sauté, then add water and cook.
So, with such a plan of modes in the thermomix, the entire cookbook is on a chip and there will be more new chips later.
About the modes that I wrote above - the ingredients are immediately laid there and the machine cooks to the end by itself.

[Marina]

Marina, that is, after all, there are auto modes, and it is the chips that provide them? Conventionally, puree soup, he will automatically boil everything for me at the programmed time and temperature, and then automatically start grinding at auto speed, and can I change each parameter? Right or wrong?

yes, change or agree with the proposed regimes

Girls, thanks for the discussion, important questions are clarified!

[Marina]

Marina, in ProfiKuk he does everything himself. Those if you have not confirmed the next steps, then he will continue to work on his own.
Those mode is completely automatic.
The only thing is that I have to put the products myself))

[Marina]

Marina, all the same in TM it does not work automatically, I watched a lot of videos.
There are recipes and you, like in a book, read, put in food, set everything manually.

Damn, I want to use it !!! In words, it's still not right ((

Mash, and from the words of Marina, who has it, I realized that it was a machine gun. But I have no time to search and watch a video, especially since I still do not plan to buy it)) Yet for me TM is primarily a blender-chopper.

On soups, I do not recognize full vending machines, because there is always a risk that vegetables will be undercooked or overcooked.
And for me this is very critical.

Masha, you do not set it manually, the device offers you time, pace and speed
and you either correct or agree

in Profiсuka you just press the button with the name of the mode and it starts immediately by the algorithm itself.

[Marina]

Marina, those are the Soup mode, for example.
Or how? I can't get it))
Or you select the soup mode and it offers to confirm or change the settings.
And then he does everything himself?

I can't just imagine the whole process.

[Masinen]

so I did not understand the bonuses from the chips.

And I looked at everything carefully, the authors of the video themselves say that they DO NOT see a CARDINAL difference between 31 and 5 TM, except for the difference in control. And experienced users prepare their own time-tested recipes from books. But it is certainly convenient that these same recipes are always at hand in the TM itself on chips, everything is in front of your eyes, tips for each step, you want to agree, you want to adjust for yourself. It is, of course, very convenient for beginners, but for experienced ones, by and large, they don't care. But you always want something more "new". In the office I was offered a new TM5 with a big discount, if you cooperate with them, they have different programs, on different conditions, and it is not necessary to distribute these TMs yourself. I was offered to simply demonstrate how to cook various real dishes for every day at TM, and not some delights. Imagine that they do not have a normally cooked person.Masinen I would certainly have received TM5 with a huge discount if I had taken it for testing in the same way as Proficuk. Those who want a discount may need to talk about a cooperation program in their offices, because they don't take money for demand.

Asya Klyachina, thanks for the information!
I'll have to find out)

[Asya Klyachina]

Asya Klyachina, thanks for the information!

Yeah, tell me later ...

I was sitting here thinking.
From them, who distributes, then after the sale of how many cars, 1 gets free.
Most likely, the aunt who sold for 25, then she received it from the company as a gift.

I would agree to cook for them if they gave it to me for free)))
Well this is so, thoughts out loud

Yes, not Manyun, I do not think, what's the point of selling it for 25? It was quite realistic to sell for 40-50 ...

Most likely, the aunt who sold for 25, then she received it from the company as a gift

I doubt it ... she gave me a check for 84t, it was bought on May 26 ... in St. Petersburg ...

[Helen3097]

Helen3097, but she didn’t say why she was giving it away so cheaply?

and she didn’t say why she was giving it away so cheaply?

The lady is very solid and not poor ... her sister gave her ... and she already has TM31, so she does not need it ... and in general she is not very much a fan of cooking, as I understand it ... her husband told her, which is cheap ... and she said that I needed to sell quickly, and not that he hung on sale ...

[Helen3097]

Helen3097, Thank you! So 31 won
I bought mine from such a lady)
Her husband bought her, and she says to me: nafik he pinned this bandura to me. It's good that you take it from me.
They are also wealthy people.
Lan, then I believe there are such ladies)))

Lan, then I believe there are such ladies)))

Yes, there are ... God just helped me ... heard my dream ... and fulfilled it for such an amount .... !!!!

Thank you! So 31 won

she said that mine is simpler .. no bells and whistles .. I'm used to it ... why do I need these innovations ...

What would you advise to buy in addition to the device, which we do not have or are in short supply?

Usually, all spare parts are available in Russian services. When I just bought the TM and, being in Germany, I was next to the SC - of course I bought extra. knife (this is sacred!), and a glass, and then in Russia compared prices - one-to-one!

Oh, what have I got here

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, Ol, he's big kitsch. And the price will probably be, God forbid

[Marina]

Marina, those are Soup mode, for example.
Or how? I can't get it))
Or you select the soup mode and it offers to confirm or change the settings.
And then he does everything himself?

I can't just imagine the whole process.

Mash, I didn’t see a regime there that would switch to grinding at the end of cooking.
But if you set a speed of 4 or 5 on the cooking mode, then by the end it will already turn into mashed potatoes without any specials. programs.
And so there are many different built-in recipes.

[Masinen]

Masinen, 999 euros like. Almost like a thermomix.
Weighs 10 kg, dimensions 41/31/34

[Lerele]

Lerele, uuuu, 10 kg, like my Kesha!)))
So he is huge, he needs a separate cabinet.

No, TM rules anyway!)))

No, TM rules anyway!)))

I agree, he drives. Before this next crisis in Germany, I managed to order Keshu with all sorts of additional accessories, two hefty boxes, so I just kneaded the dough a couple of times, all the accessories remained unpacked. And all because she began to dream about Maikuk, and then TM 31 turned up soon. And he turned out to be so necessary to me that I just can't understand now why this topic about Thermomixes didn't touch me at all before. Apparently, until you try it with your own hands, you will not understand what will be best for you in the end. TM now works 3-4 times a day, although I don't use cooked water at all.

Girls, tell me where to buy a butterfly ??? already broke, the crow is yayayayayayaya !!!

[Helen3097]

Helen3097, on the off site of Thermomix.
They have an office in Leningrad.

Can you please tell me if it is possible to prepare soy milk or milk from nuts in Thermomix? Has anyone experimented in this direction? It seems that the principle of operation of Thermomix is ​​similar to that of soy cows / soup cookers.

[fanatic]

fanatic, Easy

[selenа]

selenа, Thank you! Could you describe the sequence of actions and modes for preparing milk? Or share a link to milk recipes for the thermomix? Search failed yet

[fanatic]

fanatic, I only made 2 times (out of pure curiosity) almond milk and coconut. I poured the almonds with boiling water, tried to clean them of the brown skin, put them in TM (it was 200g), chopped them at 7-8-9 speeds (you can press Turbo several times), poured 0.5 boiling water, boiled 3-5 minutes by 100 *, spun again at 9-10, filtered, with coconut almost the same, chopped with a knife into pieces the size of an eraser and in TM.

Hello girls!
Your advice is very necessary.
For several months now I have been reading - thinking - reading - dreaming about Thermomix. Now there seems to be a purchase opportunity. But we do not have a new TM-5 model in Ukraine. They sell only 31, for 1280 euros or 84,000 rubles. I found TM-5 on eBay for $ 1200, but there recipes on a chip in Spanish, that is, it makes no sense to buy one. And from Russia to Ukraine, you probably cannot order.
All worn out. Suffered this purchase for so long. Or am I worrying in vain and should I take the TM-31 and not fool my head? From the topic, I realized that the owners of 31 models would not exchange their model for a new one.

that the owners of 31 models would not exchange their model for a new one

it is impossible to say so unequivocally that TM5 (for me personally) would be like a second child, the same beloved, but different, do not take with chips in a foreign language - this is unambiguous, but otherwise it is up to you to decide, a long-playing thing (my 31 is nine years), maybe it makes sense to wait a little longer, but buy a new model

[Selena]

Selena,
Thank you very much for responding!
The situation is such that a new model is officially expected within a year. And if not officially, the Germans do not want to start supplying TM-5 to a country in which, let's say, a difficult financial and martial law. They don't want to get involved with Ukraine.
Maybe one of the Russian girls could send me TM-5 to Ukraine (of course, not for free, for the amount that they would consider necessary). Or is it not at all feasible? And then the guarantee will not work, do I understand correctly?

owners of 31 models would not trade theirs for a new one.

I would not change my 31 for a new one, it's true!

[Angelina]

Angelina, if I were you, I would look for TM31 even better on Avito, so that it would be cheaper.

[Angelina]

Maybe one of the Russian girls could send me TM-5 to Ukraine

Angelina, earlier they did just that - they sent them through conductors. And now ... it's unrealistic, and the cost of the toy is too high.

And then the guarantee will not work, do I understand correctly?

The warranty will be valid in Russia.

I would not change my 31 for a new one, it's true!

similarly!

[ZlataUlya]

ZlataUlyaIf you buy TM5 in Moscow, then the guarantee will be in Moscow (if something happens to it, you will have to bring it to the seller's office), I would be afraid to send such an expensive car, if only with some opportunity (like a familiar guide or friends in a car) , it is best to wait for the official opening of sales in Ukraine or "suitcase station" and drive yourself to Moscow or St. Petersburg (I do not know the price of tickets, maybe a big overpayment will turn out).

I would not change my 31 for a new one, it's true

And I would also buy the fifth by 21 and 31 (up to a heap)

I don't know the ticket price

Oh. I was puzzled ... to Peter ... in terms of family - we decided to go by car.

decided to go by car

That is, taking into account gasoline, it will be cheaper

well, I don’t know)))
kmk fifth model turned out well
but to take without a guarantee, I would not become such an expensive device
if only for 35 from the hands then it is possible)
31st very good model, but not for 84tr

That is, taking into account gasoline, it will be cheaper

of course!

but to take without a guarantee, I would not become such an expensive device

About that and speech. Usually. such devices do not break, but no one has yet canceled the factory marriage.

Girls, thank you all

Probably, when I buy TM (no matter which one), I will be full of happiness ...

Our price is clearly overpriced, eh ... Your new one costs as much as our old one.

The fact is that we have one service center for the whole of Ukraine, in Odessa.
It is very tempting, of course, to spit on the guarantee and become the owner of a new TM.
And there are no delivery options except through conductors? Or else only if someone will go to Ukraine? This, of course, is already out of the realm of fiction ... I am certainly ready to repay financially well, but you need to find such a person

would also buy the fifth

If the price was lower, I would also buy TM5, but I would still leave 31, let there be two.
