🥔 Peeling vegetables in the Thermomix

One of the most important functions of a peeler is automatic peeling of vegetables , such as:

potatoes
beetroot

How does it work?

You put the vegetables in the blender.
you add water
you put on the blade guard
Set the Thermomix to low speed.

Important:

maximum of about 800 g of vegetables
add about 600 g of water
For best results, vegetables should be approximately the same size.
1 teaspoon of oil helps prevent foaming

The result is quick, even peeling without the use of a knife or handwork, and without making a mess in the kitchen.

🍳 Sous-vide cooking in the Thermomix

The Thermomix peeler is also ideal for sous-vide cooking , commonly used by professional chefs.

For sous-vide cooking:

the ingredients are vacuum packed in bags
are slowly cooked in a water bath at a low, controlled temperature

Peeler:

prevents ingredients from breaking down
ensures even cooking
retains flavor, consistency and juiciness

🍲 Slow cooking

Another function is slow cooking , i.e. cooking at a low temperature.

Peeler:

prevents fine chopping of ingredients
preserves the structure of dishes
perfect for beef, stews and goulashes, for example

Thanks to this, dishes become exceptionally delicate and full of flavor.
