The Thermomix TM6 is the most advanced Thermomix on the market. It is the Thermal cooker that all other Thermo cookers attempt to emulate. The German manufacturer has been developing this machine since the TM21 and it has culminated in the TM6 Thermomix.

Thermomix In Australia

Thermomix was first brought to Australia by Grace Mazur and has been a family-run business for 23 years. It operates on the direct selling model so when you buy a Thermomix from someone like myself you are also supporting another small family business.

One of the things that attracted me to Thermomix was how hard Grace has worked to build the name and reputation of Thermomix in Australia. I like being a part of a Woman-led family business.

A new era has dawned and our parent company Vorwerk has acquired the rights to Thermomix in Australia and plans to expand and bring more of Vorwerk's 140 years of experience to our country. Vorwerk is also a family company.

TM6 Thermomix Guided Cooking

TM6 owners are now able to connect this smart appliance to Cookidoo. Cookidoo is a guided cooking recipe platform. This feature allows the user to select dishes from a recipe platform that includes more than 60,000 recipes. Once a recipe is selected from Cookidoo step by step instructions appear on the Thermomix touch-screen.  The user is guided through the recipe, helping every home cook create delicious, cheffy, restaurant-quality meals you would usually go out for. 

The TM6 touchscreen can also be used to control time, temperature, and speed using manual cooking mode. So users can also continue to cook their favourite conventional recipes in the Thermomix.

Meal Planning

The Thermomix is fully interactive with the Cookidoo recipe platform. Cookidoo allows you to select recipes from the platform and place them into a weekly meal plan.

These recipes are automatically added to the TM6 ready for easy guided cooking.  The Cookidoo can be accessed on any smart device. View your meal plan at work, at home, or while shopping. Send recipes to your machine whilst you browse on your iPhone or computer.

Shopping List

Once you have selected your recipes and placed them in the meal plan you will want to create a shopping list.  The list can be organised by recipe or supermarket aisle. Go through the shopping list and deselect items you already have in the pantry. Other household items can also be added to your shopping list, such as laundry detergent.

Send the shopping list to your husband at work. Or simply open the Cookidoo app and check off the shopping as you do it.
