Benefits of having a Thermomix
Health benefits. Are you worried about those confusing and complicated names printed on the nutrition labels on the packaging of the food you buy? Now you don’t need to worry because you can make any food from scratch in no time. After you have made some foods in your thermomix, you will never want to buy them again. I would never buy ice cream or pizza again. I made them in my thermomix, the taste and quality was and still is divine!
Financial benefits. The thermomix will save you money that would have gone into buying at least 20 kitchen gadgets. Also, you will save lots and lots of money by cooking with the thermomix. I used to spend almost £40 buying a pizza dinner. With the thermomix, I spend £15!
Time benefits: The thermomix works at such a fast speed, it frees up time you would have spent laboring in the kitchen. It would chop 1kg of onions in 4 seconds. Make akara in less than 1 hour! Fufu in 10 minutes!
