Since getting a Thermomix, cooking has just felt easier. It’s like having an extra set of hands in the kitchen. I find myself relying on it a lot more, and it’s actually made cooking more enjoyable—especially with the kids getting involved. It’s also replaced a few tools and steps, which keeps things simpler overall.

How Thermomix Revolutionized My Kitchen

Redundant appliances: One of the biggest changes in my kitchen is how many tools I don’t really use anymore. My blender, for example, barely gets touched now. The Thermomix handles smoothies, purées, and even crushing ice, so I don’t find myself reaching for anything else.

Same with my food processor—it pretty much just sits there now. The Thermomix handles chopping, grinding, and making dips, so I don’t really reach for it anymore. And my stand mixer? I’ve kept it more for sentimental reasons. The Thermomix can knead dough, whip things like meringue, and mix cake batter without much effort.

I also ended up getting rid of my steamer. The Thermomix does a really good job with steaming, so my old one just sat there unused and took up space. After a while, it didn’t make sense to keep both.

Even my rice cooker, which I used all the time, has been pushed to the back shelf. The Thermomix cooks rice really well with its temperature control, so I don’t feel like I need a separate appliance for it anymore. I’ve also found it works well for making rice in a way that feels a bit more balanced, but I’ll get into that in another post.

Measuring tools: I don’t really reach for measuring cups and spoons anymore. The built-in scale on the Thermomix makes it easy to weigh everything right in the bowl, which saves time and keeps things a bit less messy. Whether it’s flour for baking or just portioning ingredients, it’s simple and accurate.

Manual chopping and mixing: Chopping used to take a lot of time, especially with things like onions. Now I just add everything in, set the speed, and let the Thermomix do it. It saves time, and I don’t have to deal with all the slicing and mixing by hand.

Mixing and kneading are easier too. Whether it’s pancake batter or dough for bread, the Thermomix handles it without much effort. It’s one less thing to stand over, and the results are pretty consistent every time.

Recipe books and guides: I used to reach for cookbooks all the time. Now everything’s right on the Thermomix screen. It has recipes and guided steps built in, so it’s easy to follow along without flipping through pages — over 80,000 recipes from stone the world. It’s definitely made trying new meals feel a lot more simple. It kind of feels like having someone guide you through the steps as you cook. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, so I’m more comfortable trying recipes I wouldn’t have before. My kids love it too—it’s been a fun way for them to get involved and learn in the kitchen.

The Hassle of Cleaning

Cleanup used to be the part I didn’t look forward to—there were always so many dishes after cooking. With the Thermomix, it’s a lot simpler. I just add some water and a bit of soap, run the pre-clean setting, and it takes care of most of it. I still give it a quick rinse after, but it cuts down the work quite a bit.

I still can’t get over how much it’s changed things in my kitchen. It’s not just about cooking better—it’s made everything feel easier. It takes care of a lot of the little steps, so I can just focus on the actual cooking. It’s also helped clear out some clutter and made the whole space feel a lot more simple to work in.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a Thermomix, it’s worth looking into. It can make cooking feel a lot simpler and take some of the pressure off in the kitchen. It’s one of those things you don’t fully get until you use it. And if you already have one, or you’re curious about it, feel free to share—I always like hearing how others are using it.
