Thermomix (discussion and feedback)

And then how to understand what kind of gasket I have? Well, to the touch, what should it be?

I feel stiff to the touch.

And then how to understand what kind of gasket I have? Well, to the touch, what should it be?

Yes, and mine too. And this one is stronger or what?

Should be stronger, let's check.

I look on the Internet there are different photos of the thermomix. There is with iron Varoma, and there is with black plastic, well, I have the same. What's the difference between them?

Previously, Varoma was made of steel, and then they began to produce plastic.

Ahhh, I see, but I thought it was new with steel)))

I found out about the discount. They can drop 5 thousand rubles. The total will be 49,950 rubles.

Angelica, I wrote to you in a personal message

And according to the juicer, I have HUROM HU - 400, I am happy, the cake is also dry.
I thought if Thermik crushes, then I will sell my juicer, why force the kitchen.
But it turns out that he does not press ((But, let's try, it can be tasty with the cake. The cake is also useful.

Mistletoe, have you contacted a service center using thermomix for 7 years?
Except for the silicone gasket

By the way, I'm also wondering if your mistletoe has broken at least once in seven years, or is it reliable and you don't have to worry about it?
Yes, and have you changed the knives during this period of use?

As for the cake, it is mashed there and is not felt. It turns out nectar with pulp. Just about hard, uncooked vegetables, I'm not sure that it will be tasty, for example, if it's carrots. And I think the skin from the fruit should be peeled off, otherwise it can be felt. And dried apricots must be boiled well for this drink (in it).

I'll go to the presentation on Sunday, I'll try

Yes, I did. The first time they cleaned the control panel, like flooded it with something. Although nothing like that happened. Second, the entire control unit was changed 2 years ago. The third - there was a pimp from the knife in the nest, I had to change the entire block with knives and a butterfly. Expensive, however.

Mistletoe, is the control unit burned out or what? Why did they change?

No, it did not burn out, it was buggy. It was cleaned because of this, but it did not help. More precisely, it helped, but not for long. He stops showing numbers, blinks and beeps. And what exactly was there, I don't know, they don't say in the service.

shl. By the way, you know that the motor is not repaired there, so the most dangerous thing for TM is overload. Do not add food above the specified rate.

Yes I know. I was told that replacing the motor costs 7 thousand rubles. The main thing is that no water gets into it and naturally overload))

How did you buy and the problems started? Or did it start after the warranty period?

I wrote, it was all a couple of years ago.

Not attentive

Yes, somehow everything "fell down" at once. Although, the acquaintance who bought me did not repair anything. But she uses less.

Dear forum users!

It is interesting to know from you the following opinion: do you want more automation in the kitchen?
They say about Thermomix that it saves time - no one argues; but this is still a semiautomatic device, and requires the presence of a person.

If you cross it with a tablet, you get an even more useful thing:
- upload recipes to your tablet (you can create a menu of several recipes)
- the program calculates the list of products based on the number of servings
- compiles the optimal sequence of operations on the thermomix and the approximate cooking time of the entire menu
- after starting, it prompts what needs to be done now and how long it will take to come up again (and this can be done through a voice synthesizer)
- when adding products and after pressing the "continue" button, automatically sets the parameters of speed, temperature and time. Control can be done from the buttons of the thermomix, and you can approach the tablet only once - select recipes; well, maybe watch the cooking stage.
I'm not talking about remote start over the network, maybe this is not necessary.

All you need to do is convince Vorwerk to add a wifi module and write drivers for the device. I think there will be programmers. Even if such a program is paid, it will be a breakthrough in kitchen technology! Today it is quite possible.
I could not find the manufacturer's contacts in the internet to write a letter; only sales representatives everywhere. Maybe someone knows?

This is a joke???

from what?
Do you use a culinary notebook to store your recipes?

There are also similar programs written by professional programmers - non-professional chefs.

I decided to conduct a small survey of the relevance of such a decision.

There is Thermomix and there is Orsson. The price difference is 3 times. And there will be more competitors.
Nevertheless, there are millions of fans of Thermomix; he was the first. We must stay ahead.

Do you like the washing machine? He threw in the linen, then pulled it out and hung it up. Microprocessor technology is everywhere.
Why not strive for maximum automation in the kitchen, freeing up time for someone for creativity, someone for relaxation?

And here is today's news from the household appliances exhibition:

“The user controls the oven in the same way as he is used to using a tablet or smartphone - by lightly touching the TFT display (it is seven-inch in the new ovens - the largest in the“ oven ”segment).
The oven also has an operating manual (all the necessary information can be found on the display, there is no need to constantly refer to paper) and a cookbook with many recipes. Moreover, the recipes in the book can be updated, you can add your own - it does this by transferring information from the oven memory from a USB drive.
A USB slot is provided for new ovens. The delivery set, by the way, contains a "flash drive" with software installed on the computer, which makes it easier for the user to "communicate" with the oven. Through a special program, you can receive an oven firmware update (when available), new recipes for a cookbook. There is even a "Photo Album" function - no matter how strange it may sound, you can load your favorite photos into the oven and ... And enjoy viewing them in a slideshow or use the display as an electronic photo frame (when the control system is not active, for example ).
If these new ovens, these "culinary tablets" are lacking, is the ability to photograph the dishes being prepared and post "photos" (or in some special social network for owners of "smart" ovens). Everything else is there. "

just think of something - lo and behold, and you were ahead of you ...
Only I think wi-fi is better than a flash drive

[Yuri TM]

just think of something - lo and behold, and you were ahead of you ...

Yuri TM, you have good suggestions, I read and dreamed with pleasure
Back in December 2010, we discussed and dreamed about such
"Kitchen of the future! Concept 2015"

The only thing that I would program there is a shutdown after the set operation time. And that time has passed, it beeps, you have to go to it and turn it off. It does not turn off itself.

Girls, does anyone know a recipe for aioli sauce for a thermomix? Everything is intuitively clear, but maybe there is an exact recipe. Not in the basic book, and I didn't find it in the search.

Aioli sauce (from the book for Thermomix "I cook it my way")

Ingredients: 300 g of sunflower oil (light olive oil can be used)
20 g lemon juice
50 g garlic cloves, peeled
1 tsp salt

1. Place the jar on the mixing bowl lid, pour 250 g butter into it and set aside.
2. Pour lemon juice, garlic, 50 g butter and salt in a bowl, beat for 3 minutes / sk. 5. Use a spatula to scrape the ingredients to the bottom.
3. Insert the butterfly. Insert the measuring cup and hold it with your hand so that it does not vibrate, beat for 4 min / Sk 2-3. At the same time, slowly pour the oil onto the mixing bowl lid. Transfer sauce and refrigerate until serving.

Yes, a can is put in, then the scales are turned on and oil is poured into it.

Another version of Aioli (from the book "Sauces")

Required:
250 g vegetable oil (chilled)
3 cloves of garlic
1 egg
25 g mustard
0.5 tsp salt
1 pinch pepper

1. Chop the garlic in a Bowl 3 sec / Sc. 5
2. Add egg, mustard, salt, pepper and stir for 10 sec / sc. 5
3. Install "Butterfly"
4. Install the measuring cup (MCH)
5. Set the speed to 4 and, without removing the MCH, slowly pouring grows. oil on the lid until it drains. (As I understand it, only the speed is turned on here, and everything is whipped until all the oil drains into the Bowl)

Variations: You can add ground paprika to Aioli.
This versatile French sauce goes well with meat, pasta, and salad.

And, of course, that is, the oil flows into the bowl as if between the gaps of the measuring cup. Interestingly, it probably really flows just a little bit as needed.
I'll try.

Yesterday I made a dough in TM for a lean cut, there it was necessary to warm it up at the beginning and stir it still. In general, I put it in a bowl and turned on 50 degrees and nothing stuck to the bottom, and the gingerbread turned out delicious, no words))

Today I will be making dough for English cake according to the book for cuckoo 1055.
And so every day I brew grass in it, my daughter coughs. Well, a rosehip drink, also almost every day.
I offered my husband to make hummus, we love him and all sorts of other spreads too, he asked for better aioli. I'll try. In Spain, this sauce is very fond of, I think in the thermomix it should turn out once or twice.
And the dough - yes, super simple. I was making a yeast pastry recipe from the basic book. It got out from under the lid, so it rose super. But I was especially impressed by the cabbage filling in a few minutes, which was chopped in it, stewed and mixed with eggs. Earlier, while you tune, while you put it out in the saucepan, and you need to interfere, in general, at least 40 minutes.

So it's not even a matter of time, but of comfort. He threw the same cabbage, whack-whack, turned on the heating and walk!

For those who are thinking about buying a TM, an alternative has appeared (which I used today by buying a younger brother of TM from Hong Kong for more than 20,000 less). While both devices in the house are comparing - I decide which one for which children. Why is it cheaper - mechanical control separate electronic scales in a set. Funny but quietly hums a wide 2 liter bowl and other Details like a TM steamer has its own lid, which is fixed like the main one. I cooked a soup of semolina porridge, I made a poppy roll according to his recipes, everything is fine in the evening, pumpkin soup as I'm used to - everything worked out. Tomorrow I'll go for food - I will continue the experiment. THANKS for having such a topic often dived to you to see and cook according to your recipes and recommendations, especially at the beginning of using TM.

[Elena]

Elena, welcome to the forum. Can you see the pictures of the new unit?

I would still like to know what it is about. So far, everything is very vague.

I wrote, I wrote the answer, everything went away, I repeat, it's time to think about the second TM - we will drag it to two houses, even to Bulgaria. Through my acquaintances, in December I learned that from the new year there will be a new technique HOW we mostly love exactly exactly but cheaper. The New Year happened in April with me - today, which I am very happy about And since I have been using your knowledge here for a long time and have actively decided to share with you all of a sudden someone will come in handy - the price of the issue is often the main thing

In general, I don't see a big difference with KP Orson, it's better to pay 14 thousand then ...

Agree.

Yeah ... 37000 rubles ..

I bought 35,000 through a consultant (plus several payment options) I Orson considered there the bowl at the bottom is narrow, like that of TM 21, so it can burn more - with a friend of 21 we compared some recipes, she stopped making

My basket cracked, that's insulting ((I didn't drop it, yesterday I cooked the compote and began to shift the fruit from it and saw a crack (((

Damn, that's a pity! All the same, nothing is perfect in the world. I wonder if it will be replaced under warranty? Or Orson's scheme won't work?
By the way, I noticed yesterday that if something solid is boiled down under the basket (I had a dry rosehip in the water there), then it vibrates suspiciously with sounds. And I also thought it was interesting how strong it is.

Yes, no, I don’t think they’re shy)) but I don’t have a guarantee)) this is a consumable. and only the hardware part is guaranteed.

I forgot to write, I just can't get used to mixing whipped whites into the dough in the thermomix, well, it just doesn't work out normally. And in Orson I somehow managed to do it neatly.

Yesterday I finally understood how to gently mix the whipped egg whites into the dough. On the reverse, the first 5 sec. 4 speed, and then transfer to 2 speed.
Yesterday I had such a huge casserole just stunned !! I baked Redmond 4502 in a cartoon, so the casserole turned out to be a full 5 liter bowl !!!

For the basket they called the service center, how much does it cost without a guarantee?

Cottage cheese casserole? Without baking powder? I wonder if the recipe is from the book?
I would have whipped whites separately with a spoon. Although if he already intervenes them neatly.
Information on the prices of all consumables for the thermomix is ​​available on the website.

Which section? I can't find something

Where there are accessories. I will not change it yet, maybe you can use it, that's when I come completely, then I will change
