nightmarish Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 This has probably been done 100 times before on the old forums but...DH bought me the aldi version of the thermomix and I have no idea what to do with it. I get that the idea is to make food prep and cooking easier, but how? What are some meals that just work in them. We like curries and casserole style foods so in theory it should be great, but I just default to using the slow/pressure cooker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin2 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have the old style thermomix 31 but I use it al the time. have a look at the thermomix recipe community online for recipe ideas or even take a recipe you currently make and find a thermomix recipe. For example if you put thermomix chicken curry into Google it will bring up heaps of chicken curry neals you can cook in the thermomix Also if you are on Facebook join a few thermomix Facebook pages you will find heaps of ideas that way too...good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Mum Bec Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have a Bellini version. I don't use it to make complete meals but I do find it handy for components of meals. I recently bought a new Kitchen aid stand mixer so will probably use my Bellini a bit less as it was my only mixer.Last weekend I used my Bellini to make a mint yoghurt chutney to go with our curry, it chopped the mint and spring onion together and then blended all the ingredients together. I also used it to crush biscuits for a jelly slice. This weekend I will make a sticky date pudding so it will chop the dates, add water & bicarb and will cook the dates to soften them, then it will mix the batter and when I have cleaned the jug and the pudding is cooking I will use it to make the butterscotch sauce. I have used it to make chinese pork buns, chops the ingredients for the filling and mixes it, mixes the dough ingredients then use the steamer attachment to cook the buns. The receipes on the Thermomix Recipe Community can be a real help for ideas. There is also a FB group called Bellini Addicts and Smith & Nobel Addicts (thermocooking) that is quite active.ETA - two websites that I found were a really good source for recipes were skinnymixers.com.au (everybody raves about their Butter Chicken recipe and it is really good) and trtlmt.com.au (The Road To Loving My Thermomix). Both Australian sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamtheMumma Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 There are lots of thermocooker groups on Facebook. I used to use mine a lot but sold it and bought the mistral one. I use it to make curries, curry pastes or chop things. I occasionally make soups in it. I used to use it on a daily basis but since the older kids moved out of home, it doesn't feel worth it for just me and the small fry (who hardly eats let alone anything delicious like curry).

Jolly_F Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I use this page a lot - https://trtlmt.com.au/Best potato salad ever!! Mostly I just Google a recipe I want to try and put thermomix as well and it brings up heaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotproof Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Does anyone have any favourite meals they do? I use my cuisine companion mainly for components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin2 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Riotproof my kids love the pizza dough from the basic cookbook the chicken and vegetable pie and tuna mornay on the recipe community they also love some of the skinnymixers recipes in the little taste of Greece book if that helps you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotproof Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Thanks twin2. That’s interesting. I could adapt the pie filling recipe method to my chicken and creamed corn one. I do use it to make my beef mince curry with loads of veg and lentils, that works nicely too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin2 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Riotproof you absolutely could...I love the sound of your mince curry too....sounds yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotproof Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It’s a really good one for kids, spiced nicely but not hot. I use the filling in puffs for school (snd emergency home) lunches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 RiotButter chicken is a fav. I do the quirky cooking one. I use it to make slices and cookies for lunchboxes. We use it to make no bake cheesecakes often. There’s a yummy pasta in the box everyday cooking for Thermomix families or similar that’s delicious too. Chicken cacciatore is also yum. They’re all in one meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chchgirl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I miss having a thermie, I sold it years aho, don't even ask I don't have enough room where I am now, but it's definitely on the cards down the track.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotproof Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I make those meals in my pressure cooker. I do use it a lot for baking though. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
