Its a kitchen appliance that replaces a lot of your other kitchen appliances. It chops, blends, grinds, cooks, makes dough for bread/pizza etc, it takes the place of a blender, food processor - heaps of things!

I use mine mainly for making biscuits/cakes for the kids, dinners - spag bolg and pizza dough mainly, soup - chicken and brown rice particularly, smoothies (I have a smoothie for dinner every night at the moment because I can't fit anything else in), playdough for the kids, boiling eggs, ice cream, um god heaps of stuff!

Today I have to make some biscuits, or a cake for the kids, so I'll be doing that in the thermomix. You mix up the batter and put it in the oven, it can take place of like a frypan and saucepan, but not your oven. So you mix up your batter for whatever you are cooking and then chuck it in the oven to cook.
