I would rather have a machine that doesn’t tell you what temp it’s at rather than one that tells you the wrong temp. That’s quite dangerous, especially with eggs

@gabriellecarr3070 4 years ago

Neither really justify the high price tag I feel, but the TOKIT is definitely better value for money. The massive difference in expected and actual temperature on the Thermomix is crazy

@liquidl5380 4 years ago

I can definitely see their commercial applications, there is a certain appeal to it as someone who has trouble working up the energy to cook, but honestly I think a regular pressure cooker/slow cooker or something like an instant pot is probably better for most home cooks. What I think would also be interesting is a version of this that has been scaled down in price and size that would make it easier to cook for portion sizes for 1-2 people.

@rainysunflower384 4 years ago

It was fascinating seeing how these two appliances worked. My biggest shock was having to pay for a membership for Thermomix's recipes which seem like an integral part of the appliance- the initial high cost should have covered that.

This channel should be called "How to cook and thoroughly explain how I did that" because Ann is just so amazing and well-researched. You can tell she knows what she's talking about and does it in such a professional yet approachable way. Such an incredible channel. Keep going Ann - you're a million times better than those content farms will ever be!

@BrentConner 4 years ago

I totally understand why people buy them, but for that price, I don't think I will. I'll stick to the good old fashioned way of cooking... manually. Glad to have you back with us Ann and you are feeling better.

@argonautilus9540 4 years ago

Both of these seem to have fundamental flaws I wouldn’t expect from a machine in this price range. Custom recipes not having access to the whole range of times and temperatures the machine is capable of is just bizarre.

@SpiritFairy89 4 years ago

It's surprising with those kind of prices that the machines don't already come with all of the attachments.

UPDATE: You can not rely on the thermomix temperature readings please ensure that you use a digital thermometer to check temperatures for food safety.

I had given them the benefit of the doubt in thinking that perhaps the brand new one was faulty. But apparently not. I sent the thermomix in to their service centre and they replaced the PCB board. On testing it again when I got it back it had the exact same problems with wildly incorrect temperatures. I sent it back to the service centre a second time with photos of the error and below is the response:

"Heating tests conducted on Thermomix and is working within manufacturers parameters. **Bowl temperature and food temperature may differ when start up cooking and requires time to stabilize temperature. eg: 1 litre of water takes 10 minutes with speed 1 to reach 100°C** We compared our service TM6 with yours side by side and the outcome was the same."

The Thermomix crushing that carrot when locking the lid in place was scary! It's fascinating to see that the Tokit really compares very favourably, even though it's significantly less money.

@bobafettig 4 years ago

Wow, looks like someone at Tokit actually did user research in kitchens and asked people how they would rather cook.

There is a huge value to understanding how people use products, not just engineering them.

@wol_ves 4 years ago

Glad that you're back, hopefully everyone's feeling better!!

It's clear even from the first couple minutes of this video the substantial amount of effort you put into these for us. I just want to say that I really appreciate it <3

@IsaacIsaacIsaacson 4 years ago

I don't understand how both the Thermomix and the Tokit managed to come up with such ineffective solutions to the lid not locking - food processors and blenders have had the four notches that must line up to let it lock on every side for eons.

Important note: the "smoke" you see rising from the sugar as it's being powdered is extremely flammable. Please be careful if you're doing large batches or consistent batches!

@ice-choco-Icecream 4 years ago

I feel like its not a worthy investment for someone like me, but I see these very useful for people with disabilities or that can't access all of the stuff one machine comes with, since the machine makes it very easy and accurate to make any type of food. Up until now I didn't even know about this gadget lol, thanks so much for introducing it! A great video as always ^^

25:47 When Anna said "I am not willing to sacrifice my fingers to test that one..." I thought she was about to have Dave appear as the usual victim, lol.

Thermomix. The word brings me terror. Years ago, the Thermomix company stayed at the 5 star hotel I was working at. These people were horrible. One ordered a burger and threw on the ground because it didn't have ketchup. She didn't ask. Another demanded our kitchen give her 2 pounds of flour, yeast and sugar to make bread. We offered to go to the grocery store for her. She said no.

@Kaeracter 4 years ago

This sounds like it would be a good option for someone living in a small space and wants to forgo having an oven or stovetop. But I don't think I could justify the price for the tokit and absolutely would not for the Thermomix.

@NikolisKitchen 4 years ago

If I pay thousands of dollars for an appliance that is supposed to make my kitchen life easier and it actually won't let me do something, then I fail to see why anyone would pay anything close to this price. The limitations on both of them are outrageous.

Great video and very thorough, Ann! Glad you are feeling better!

I actually got the TM6 For My Birthday Last Month, I Saw This Video A Long While Ago And Only Just Remembered To Do The Test! I made the vanilla ice cream and the temperature on the screen was 90 degrees, but with the digital thermometer read 67 degrees, I ended up having to return it since it had made my husband ill for a week due to the to the eggs being undercooked in a dish the TM6 Made. (he's fine dw <3) But yeah- I did return it and get a good portion of my money back and getting the Tokit Instead, I've had it for a month and its a lot better. genuinely. This was a lesson for me, Expensive does not always mean good.
