Thermomix Myths –10 Misconceptions That Will Truly Surprise You

In a world where time, health and convenience matter more than ever, one kitchen device keeps showing up in conversations: the Thermomix. Yet despite its popularity, countless myths and misconceptions still surround it.I hear them almost every day — so let’s finally clear them up. Below you’ll find the 10 most common Thermomix myths, debunked with real user experience and practical knowledge.

#1 “My family is too big for a Thermomix”

Many people think the Thermomix is only for small households — but it’s actually perfect for large families.It easily handles big portions, lets you double recipes and prepares soups, sauces, curries or fillings in no time.Families of five or six use it daily because it saves stress, time and endless dishwashing.

#2 “I don’t like cooking, and the Thermomix won’t change that”

Oh, it will — and often very quickly.The Thermomix eliminates everything people dislike about cooking: mess, stress, chopping, stirring, burning, multitasking.With step-by-step guided cooking, anyone can prepare delicious meals with zero effort. Many non-cooks say: “This device finally made cooking easy.”

#3 “I’m too old for a Thermomix”

Absolutely not.The large touchscreen, clear symbols and built-in safety make the Thermomix ideal for seniors.No heavy pots, no sharp knives, no hot oil — everything happens safely in one bowl. It gives independence and comfort at any age.

#4 “I’m a good cook, I don’t need it”

This myth is common among passionate home cooks. But the Thermomix does not replace your skills — it enhances them. It gives you precise temperature control, consistency and speed. This is exactly why professional chefs use it in restaurants around the world.

#5 “Even if I buy it, I’ll still need all my other appliances”

Actually, you won’t. The Thermomix replaces over 20 devices: blender, mixer, food processor, steamer, rice cooker, dough mixer, grinder and more. Most users get rid of half their appliances and finally enjoy a clean, uncluttered kitchen.

#6 “Thermomix does everything for you, so you never learn to cook.”

This myth oversimplifies the reality. Thermomix guides you step by step, but it cannot replace logic, creativity, or culinary curiosity. Users quickly learn about proportions, chopping techniques, and flavor combinations. Many discover they actually cook more skillfully and mindfully thanks to the TM. The device shows that cooking can be simpler and more enjoyable. It also gives freedom to experiment — you can adjust recipes, add your own spices, or try new ingredients. It’s a tool that supports your hands and senses, not replaces them.

#7 “Thermomix replaces every appliance in the kitchen.”

Sounds perfect, but it’s not entirely true. It replaces many devices — blender, mixer, steamer, or dough kneader — but it won’t grill, roast, or caramelize like other tools. You still need some traditional appliances. Thermomix is powerful support but not all-powerful. It combines comfort, precision, and versatility. Cooking becomes easier and more enjoyable, but not automatic. It’s an extension of your kitchen, not a replacement of it. 

#8 “You can’t ruin a dish with Thermomix.” 

The device minimizes mistakes but doesn’t eliminate them completely. Changing ingredients, timing, or quantities can alter the result. Some steps — seasoning, thickening, or dough kneading — still require your attention. Thermomix makes cooking easier but not automatic. Think of it as a helper, not a magic wand. Users quickly learn to control the process and experiment safely. It encourages learning and improves confidence in the kitchen.

#9 “Thermomix will cook complex dishes completely by itself.”

Some think all you need is to press “start” and the meal magically appears. Many dishes still require baking, frying, or finishing touches outside the appliance. Thermomix handles the difficult parts — kneading, whipping, and precise cooking — but you complete the final steps. It’s collaboration, not magic. It teaches precision and planning for the entire cooking process. The result is better, consistent meals that reflect your creativity.

#10 “I’m on a diet, so I won’t use it”

Dieting is exactly why people use their Thermomix daily.You control every ingredient, reduce sugar, limit fats and cook healthier versions of all your favourite meals.Cookidoo features thousands of low-carb, keto, vegan, high-protein, gluten-free and low-calorie recipes.

Most myths about the Thermomix come from people who never used it. Once you see how much time, money and stress it saves, you’ll understand why so many households call it a life-changing device. It makes everyday cooking easier, faster, healthier and more enjoyable — for absolutely everyone.

Don’t believe the myths. Experience it yourself.
