Thermomix functions and benefits in the kitchen

The thermomix marked a technological revolution in the kitchen. This multiprocessor robot was created in the 80’s. Recipes made with a thermomix help you satisfy your child’s cravings in a practical way.

What does the thermomix do?

• Chop. It can cut up any kind of food, both hard and soft.
• Shred. You can make purées and creams with different textures.
• Grind and pulverize. With this function, you can make seasonings or flours. People with gluten allergies use it to make special flours.
• Turbo. This function is used for very hard ingredients, such as ice, cured cheese or nuts.
• Dough. If you make dough in the thermomix, it’ll come out perfect. It mixes the ingredients gently and kneads them almost professionally.
• Beat. The thermomix can replace your blender. It’s especially useful for cocktails and soups.
• Emulsify. It perfectly combines ingredients that are usually difficult to mix, like oil and vinegar. It’s great to prepare vinaigrettes, sauces and dressings, as well as ice cream.

All of these functions make the thermomix one of the most practical cooking tools. It’s a good idea to always have it within reach.
