Thermomix (discussion and feedback)

Yes, you are always welcome, Oksana After all, I was already wondering how much it could fit there, that I always have extra portions

I have TM 31, my mother has TM 21 and KP Orson, I saw Maikuk from a friend. I will say right away that Kp Orson, like Maikuk, is purely ergonomically uncomfortable. The most optimal of all these units is TM 31, in TM 21 all the bowls are stainless steel inserts, I did not like it. Plastic steamer from TM 31 is the most convenient. In TM 21, Orsonea Maikuca there is no reverse - girls, how uncomfortable it is and how it reduces the possibilities! For cereals and soups, it is definitely better to purchase a multicar, or even better, a pressure cooker. But for everything else, sat down there is an opportunity - TM 31.
By the way, the dough is better in it kneads very well, ask Mistletoe (and she is a specialist in bread and pastries), and the dough will heat up at least due to the friction of the knives, so do not worry that 2 minutes will not be enough for you.
And the last, 35 thousand for TM 31 - super price6 for TM 21 - overpayment.
And I insist that reverse is one of the most important functions that allows you to cook many dishes by mixing, but not chopping into trash. Pay attention to this!
In general, TM 31 is forever!

I have Maikuk for a year and a half. A worthy and high-quality device, in no way inferior to TM, I won't put it next to Orson (I bought Orson first, but was disappointed: it made a lot of noise, and then broke down almost immediately). After the failure, I began to choose between TM and MK, chose MK, because it cost a little cheaper. Maikuk can do everything that TM can, the absence of reverse does not affect the quality of the prepared dish in any way, the management of the Maikuk CP is clear, convenient, simple. In Russia TM appeared earlier, therefore it is promoted more, and in Ukraine, for example, Maikuk is actively advertised and it is more popular than TM. In general, both processors are absolutely equal and worthy of the buyer's attention. (Only prices are now-ah-s ....).

and the dough will heat up at least due to the friction of the knives, so do not worry that 2 minutes will not be enough for you.

Indeed, it heats up from knives. But about 2 minutes - these are fairy tales. Minimum 7. Plus, I first heat the liquid up to 37C, thereby the bowl heats up. So, in terms of dough kneading (up to 500 g), TM has no equal.

Look Maikuk keeps up with Thermomix with the release of a new model.

the model is called the Taurus Mycook Touch

A very interesting comparison of a man with both cars

To be honest, I don't see anything revolutionary in the T-shirt compared to TM. Both units do about the same thing, so the rest is a matter of taste and of course the price. If Maikuk is significantly cheaper, it might make sense to take it. I am simply an opponent of induction in devices that combine many functions. which is why I didn’t take Kenwood with induction. So far, induction does not inspire confidence in me, and so far, everything I know about it suggests that such devices are capricious in terms of operation (voltage drops, etc.), therefore they are less reliable, although they have a number of advantages in the heating rate, etc. I have pressure cookers and multicooker with induction heating, but it's just a saucepan that, if it breaks, won't leave me hungry, there are others. And here there are many functions in one and I would not want to risk them all.

Good day. I went to a master class today, showed how to make a drink from dried apricots - the output turns out apricot juice almost like "Dobry" with pulp. Delicious. They made mayonnaise, raw beet salad with prunes, nuts and garlic. Trout soup was cooked in Norwegian way. It is in the base book.For 17 minutes, the potatoes were not cooked, it would be necessary to either cut them smaller, or cook them longer.
Melange coffee - well, I liked it very much. The coffee beans were ground in TM, the floor of the chocolate was ground in the same place, the milk was 0.5 liters and boiled to 90 grams, then the foam was whipped to max. speed. True, grains from coffee come across when you drink, but it's still very tasty and without sugar.
I also liked the uncoated oat milk porridge. It turned out not thick, not "snotty" like rolled oats. The grains were ground immediately to a state of fine grains such as corn or barley and boiled 1: 5.5 per 90 g ck 2 after 20 minutes, whipped with butter.
The dough was not kneaded today, but they were treated to bread made from flour ground in TM.
She did not succeed in mousse from frozen chokeberry, Tolya was not cold protein (it stood for more than an hour), as she said, from mountain ash and blueberries, it is impossible to whip the mousse.
All this was prepared on two thermomixes and she used additional bowls. I liked the power of the machine, you can grind a good portion of grains into flour and coffee, you can't do so much in a coffee grinder. Now I'm looking for money, I want to buy

[Irma]

Irma, black chokeberry mousse can only be explained by the desire to save money or the absence of other berries at the moment, the temperature of the protein does not play a special role, it always turns out, but not with sawdust, and the chokeberry frozen and ground in TM is essentially sawdust. I am glad that you liked TM, of course the first impression is very important, but after living with them for more than 10 years, thinking changes, that is, now I read any recipe through the prism of how I will cook it in TM or with the help of TM, and Of course, with TM, there are practically no recipes left for which I will not undertake because of their complexity.

[selenа]

selenа, something is throwing me out of the site for the third time, I can't write an answer. They just spontaneously decided to cook the mousse, one protein remained after the preparation of mayonnaise, and only rowan was in the freezer.
By the way, there was enough soup for everyone, someone ate two portions and still had left. They poured 2 good mittens each, my family has it the usual norm, my husband and I ate without additive.
The distributor's products were all good, not cheap. In general, I was surprised that master classes are held for free, many companies take money for presentations in order to cover their costs

only rowan was in the freezer

Well I wrote about this, she apparently never did of them, so she missed,
if you count, then she spent a little money, but showed you the machine from the best sides, both technically and organoleptically
you buy a car from her, that's all and will return
I looked at one time, too, for free, so then 4 of my friends bought from this seller without looking

I only watch presentations on YouTube. so if I decide on TM or MK I will buy almost blindly. The main thing is that there is no disappointment.

[We are not discussing Kenwood - he is not standing next to his nozzles.]

A very interesting comparison of a man with both cars
🔗

Thanks for the link. I disagree with this statement

There are officially two branded household appliances in the world - kitchen robots. These are MyCook from the Spanish company Taurus and Thermomix from the German Vorwerk. We are not discussing Kenwood - he is not standing next to his nozzles.

Kenwood is a great car with comfortable attachments. I love the cube attachment, now we have Olivier or vinaigrette at home every day.
And the chic biscuit dough Kesha also knows how to make, I think, no worse than Thermomix.

I think the author of this article meant that Kenwood is a completely different device with a different principle of operation, my opinion of Kenwood cannot be compared with TM or MK at all, but they will complement each other very well. I say this because I myself have a Kenwood 86, and I have completely different plans for Thermomix (Maikuk).

[Laslovna]

Laslovna, I watched the video on YouTube at your link, it turns out there are still similar processors! It is a pity that there is so little information on these machines in Russia, and we do not have such a choice. The review on these processors partially understood what the girl was talking about, but did not understand what conclusion she made. What did she like better? I don't know Italian at all.

Brand new TM 5 is so handsome! It looks just clever, the lid itself fixes and is more streamlined in size than its predecessor, and makes a sound when turned on like a coffee machine. But I'm not ready to give 90 thousand for it

The link to YouTube was provided by Pchela Maja. I agree with you 90,000 rudders Pts a lot, especially since there are no reviews.

And you are still ripe for Thermomix! Well, soon meet you with your assistant. And I'll flip through the Internet pages to be completely sure of the correctness of the choice.

[Laslovna]

Laslovna, I'll take the thermomix because there is a service in our city, and so I liked Maikuk more. I wrote to the Lotus website with my own questions, they did not answer me. But mailings to master classes are now sent to the post office every day. And what's the use of sending them if I'm far from Moscow.

And you are still ripe for Thermomix! Well, soon meet you with your assistant. And I'll flip through the Internet pages to be completely sure of the correctness of the choice.

And you have not met the information when the new Maykuk will appear in Spain and Russia?

No, I have not heard about the date of the appearance of the device on sale.

And today I made powdered sugar in TM. Well, it turned out okay.
I usually do it in Bamiks, but today I decided in TM. It turned out the same, what is there, what is there.

No, I have not heard about the date of the appearance of the device on sale.

🔗

I found the only photo on Facebook.
It stands in the window, which means that at best it will appear in the summer or autumn, and even in Russia by the end of the year.

Girls! If you knew how much I want it !!!
My old dream !!!
Maybe I would have ordered it already, but we don't have them in the city! Only via the Internet!
And so I want to taste it, touch it, see it !!!
The main thing at those prices is still somehow calm, well, I want - and that's it (in principle, I want a lot of things)!
And when the price went up, now it was too much !!!
What a fool, and that she used to sit! Now almost twice as expensive !!!
I scold myself !!! ....

Ask the official representative, they have their representatives in many cities, I made an application to Moscow, and the car is sent to me from Smolensk
They unpacked them via Skype, showed everything, promised warranty service and answers to all questions via Skype. So I'm bragging, I ordered Maikuk !!!

[Seven-year plan]

Seven-year plan, Sveta, you can call and they will appoint you the day of the presentation, demonstrate, try it yourself and then decide, I believe that such a technique must be looked at in work.

[Oksana]

Oksana, all the same Maikuk ?? !! .... I read all your throwing! And why? Tell us!

Hope, thanks for the help! I didn't even guess! I read that we have no branch in Tula and calmed down!
And I also think that this technique should be watched!
Although the advice of all our girls is not unimportant!
Without your help, I would not have dared to do much! And the girls make a verdict that a worthy thing and everything can be taken without hesitation !!!

[Laslovna]

Laslovna, well done congratulations. Have you ordered prepayment or will you pay upon receipt? And how much the delivery costs and then write how long it will take to get the package.

[Laslovna]

Laslovnahow much came out at a cost?

[Oksana]

Oksana, tell us everything in more detail, about the purchase about the first meeting, otherwise we are still in the bushes, choosing.

At a price of 57,000 rubles. will be sent from the representative office in Smolensk, very nice people, provided a lot of information and answered my questions. Tomorrow they will send, on full prepayment. But my soul is still breaking into two parts Thermomix or Maikuk, I really like the design of Thermomix (but there are a lot of complaints: sealing gum, knives fly off, vibration during replacement, noise level) it is possible that after a while, if everything is possible I will buy myself a Thermomix (to the dacha, I cook a lot there in the summer, and it is not very good to carry the device here and there, first of all for him) and then I will compare, because reading the reviews is still hard.Buying a new blender, the soup cooker caught myself thinking that I was missing something, not even something, but specifically power, ease of use, fewer lids, insert, etc., and then how you start to assemble and disassemble so that you can wash it later I don't want to get it once again. So I have high hopes for Maikuk, God forbid that they would come true !!!

[Laslovna]

Laslovna, Congratulations! Let it serve for a long time and please!

but a lot of complaints: sealing gum,

Now the material of the elastic has been changed to silicone, so there is no problem with the elastic. I have more than a year, everything is ok. This is just a clarification.

Why Maikuk? I talked with three representatives of Russia and Ukraine, not focusing on Maikuk, and I learned that they were selling Maikuk and earlier they were selling Thermomixes, so they prefer Maikuk. So it was thought that once the representatives even switched to MK, this already says something.

And today I made powdered sugar in TM. Well, it turned out okay.
I usually do it in Bamiks, but today I decided in TM. It turned out the same, what is there, what is there.

All the same, Bamix is ​​a fine fellow!

Vibration also occurs in Maikuk when crushing ice, this can be seen on the YouTube rollers, the Spaniard even held him at the beginning when large pieces of ice were ground.

[Oksana]

Oksana, good luck !!!!
Share your impressions with us later !!!
After all, we are also at a crossroads !!!! .....

Omela, I understand that now all TMs come with silicone pads? Has this problem disappeared?
Or do you need to buy it additionally?

[Svetlana]

do all TMs come with silicone pads now?

Svetlana, I do not know, I bought mine for a long time. You can check with the seller. The sealing ring cost about 500 rubles (I don't remember exactly). If the set includes an old rubber band, then it's better to buy it right away, yes. That will be enough for you for a year, and then put a new one.

[Omela]

Omela, Thank you!!!
It's good that there is a forum, you will learn so many subtleties !!!

[Omela]

Omela, for sure, the new TM 31 already have silicone gaskets. I checked it myself and asked how much is enough, they said with active use for two years it will definitely be enough. Probably these gaskets in all processors wear out over time.

[Irma]

Irma, the gasket does not wear out especially even the old one, it can be used for another hundred years, just when you whip something liquid and in the region of two liters (for example, a drink or fruit drink) it may leak a little, with a new ring (which with silicone) this does not happen, I have 2 bowls and 2 lids, in one there is an old gasket in the other with silicone new, (old 9 years old), I always use the old one, I think I'll finish it off and throw it away, but there will be some figurines with it, and only for "wet" do take a cover with a new gasket

How interesting, two bowls! Did you order separately? With a lid? How much did it cost? It's very convenient !!!

the gasket does not wear out especially even the old one,

That, not .. very much even wears out, erases and tears .. I somewhere in the subject showed a photo. And the silicone structure is completely different, soft.

[Oksana]

Oksana, when I bought TM it cost 38 "thousand", and the cup, yes, I bought it separately and it cost 7 thousand, so you can calculate how much% of the total cost the cup was worth (I can't do it without a calculator)

[Omela]

Omela, Ksyusha, maybe due to the fact that I had two of them, they are intact, but the liquid is passed at high speed.

This is 5 part of the amount, that is, approximately 14 thousand rubles. Good price!!!!!

Firms love to make money on spare parts. Take, for example, a Panasonic multicooker, a bowl for it cost separately as half a multicooker.

Yes, it's probably easier to transfer the product to another container :-(
