Thermomix V's Kitchen Aid????

and it does come with the steamer.

you must have gotten yours on super special or something cos I've been to three demos in the last few months (I'm addicted to demos!) and the lady said that the steamer is a separate part now, to be paid for separately UNLESS you are the one hosting the party and you buy one then and there - then you get it for free.

I still want one though.. lol

Yeah, i thought by the time you bought and the extras for the KA, you'd be getting close in price anyway!

I love the ice cream demo.. yum, and its cool already! And the soups... all warm ready to go, the kids would love it.

Mel, have a demo yourself!!!! Would have to be a cheaper way to buy one, is it ??

I should look up the site, but I havent heard of anyone up my way doing it.....
Or maybe Alan should post himself using it for us!!!

Nah you get a couple of freebies if you are the demo person, but you don't actually get any discount on the machine for hosting. Its still nearly 2 grand.

I went to my friend's house yesterday and she made me some raspberry sorbet (cos my neighbour sells fresh raspberries!) and then she made me some cheese rolls (which we had for morning tea today)

DELISH!!!! I just love how it does everything. Even from grinding up your own wheat to make flour and then making the bread.... and it weighs everything!! and everything is done in seconds.. its just .... amazing!

Things like porridge, soup etc would be so easy.. if I use the microwave I have to do like 5 lots, But I could do big batches at once, perfect for us!!

Alan, what do you mainly do with yours??
I actually cant find too many demos online to see everything it does....

And where can I layby one???

[Pretty Butterfly]

I would LOVE to do sorbets for the kidddies.. and fresh rolls... ahhhhhhhhh
and REAL ice cream!!

I know they had an interest free deal going cos thats how my friend purchased hers, you got 9 months to pay it off, so it worked out about $60 a week or something. But you can't get it through an actual store, have to go through demo lady I think?

[Alan]

You can’t buy it in the shop or on line you can only buy from someone who does the demos. I know someone in Townsville who does demos if anyone is interested.
If you want to look at some recipes for the thermomix google forum thermomix. There are hundreds of recipes on there and it will give ou some ideas of what the thermomix can do.
I would use mine about 3 or 4 times a week. I make bread dough, Soups, sauces, cakes, meatballs, boiled eggs, boiled/mashed potatoes, steamed vegies, steamed fish, burgers, casseroles, and many other things. Last night I made steamed fish with lemon and chilli and rice. All cooked to perfection in about 20 mins. And the best part is that you don’t have to stand and watch it. Just out it all in, set the temp and timer and walk away. Oh and another best thing, it can even clean itself.
