[jogon]

Currently on sale - http://www.lidl.de/de/silvercrest-kuechenmaschine-...

It seems to do most of what the Thermomix does minus the weight scale feature. Worth a punt?

[dazco]

Worth a punt , surely

I noticed this earlier.

What would I use it for in the real world?

[Hoover.]

another under the counter ornament,,,,,, cant think of one daily use i'd use it for....money better spent on a good basic pan

If you make a things like hollandaise sauce regularly I can see they'd be worth it, other than that I can't really see the point.

Was on sale at my local Lidl when I was buying some wine the other day but that was the only web site I could find any info on it.

How easy is it to clean? would be my first question
Could be useful for motorhome owners

Where's your local Lidl, I just rang their customer services and they said it wasn't available in the UK.

The real thermomix is a doodle to clean, all the dirty bits including the element on the bottom can go in the dishwasher. Or else you simply put a spot of washing liquid in it with some water and set it heat up with the spinner spinning. Washes itself.

Ours gets used at least ten times a day, but it is a commercial kitchen

Amen. This I understand not in a home setting

I've thought about one and considered the Betamax Lidl version.

I'm pleased that I haven't bothered. I think I'll just buy a new powerful blender as my purées ain't smooth enough.

Looking at that list of things she tested it on the only one my Kenwood Chef wouldn't be able to do is steam the sea bass, I have a steamer for that. I thought the whole point of the Thermomix was you could cook stuff in it while mixing making it great for making sauces, which she doesn't do?

Anyone who uses a blender to make mashed potato should be taken outside and shot!
