I've just ordered my TMX for all the reasons wysiwyg stated. I have done a fair bit of research and really needed to be convinced that the TMX is worth the price tag. As a couple of others have mentioned, I also love to cook and I have wondered if I will get full use out of the TMX because I prefer to use the stove top? The thing is, with 3 kids, part time work and other commitments, sometimes cooking is a luxury and we end up with a quick meal instead of a beautiful meal! I'm hoping the thermie will allow quick AND beautiful meals! I love to bake but don't always have the time and the kids lunchboxes end up being filled with packaged food when I'm perfectly capable of baking at home... which brings me to the other reason I decided to take the plunge. I carry a lot of guilt about the additives and preservatives in the foods my kids eat some days! My DS has renal issues and I'm so conscious of the amount of salt and sugar in the foods that he and his sisters eat. I hope the thermie will make it easier to get all that baking done so that they can still enjoy treats, but without the salt, sugar, preservatives, anti-caking agents... Finally, my mum is coeliac and I'm keen to perfect home made gluten free bread - for less than $8 a loaf!

Happy to let you know over the next few weeks if I'm using the TMX and whether I reckon it's worth the $$$.
