- I've not seen Mrs B,
this excited since Chloe was born.
Right? - Yes.
(gentle music)
[Both] Hello everybody
- Hope you are well.
Welcome to our kitchen.
I'm a very excited Barry today.
- Even more excited than usual.
- Yeah, I'm sorry. (laughs)
You guys for years have been messaging me saying,
"Barry, can you try out a Thermomix?"
This video is actually very kindly sponsored
by them
and (makes trumpet sounds)
check this out.
- Ta da. - That right there
is the latest Thermomix.
That is the TM6.
And it is rather stonking indeed.
But before we get started, Mrs. B,
do you know what a Thermomix is?
- I have no idea what a Thermomix is.
- But... - Neither do I
until a few days ago.
A lot of you messaged me again, try a Thermomix.
Like, Boy is that?
When they got in touch with that
I have to do this.
So let me tell you a little bit about it.
The best way to describe what a Thermomix is,
it's kind of like 20 appliances in one.
At least that. It's, it's blew my mind.
So I have been introduced to it a little bit.
A couple of days ago, I did a Skype call.
I had an online demonstration
which you guys can actually have too, if you are interested.
And I was just sort of like really blown away.
So it comes with a manual
which as you guys know, I hardly ever read.
And 'cause I have my demo
I'm feeling fairly confident,
- (laughs) - Typical man style, right?
- Yeah. - But it's also, it comes
with a cookbook and there's loads more
which I'll come onto in a moment.
But you've got things like this steam basket,
you've got splash guard.
You've got this whisk, you've got the spatula
which is actually really clever
because it will not touch the blades that are in there.
I think the best thing is to just start cooking.
We're going to do three recipes.
We're going to do a simple lemonade just to get used to it.
Then we're going to do a coconut dole.
And then we're going to make some honeycomb in it.
- [Barry] All right, so this is like your main menu screen
when you first turn it on and I'd recommend
that's probably better for once you've mastered this
because it's basically all in your hands.
It's touchscreen.
So you can change the time.
How long do you want it to go for.
The temperature, Which is pretty cool.
And then also the speed of the blades.
Now, if we go to the right, it shows you all these modes
and they're added like all the time.
It did, it did a download update a moment ago
just before I turned it on, you can boil eggs.
It can be a kettle.
It can be scales.
It can clean itself.
It can be a slow cooker.
You can Sous Vide.
It can be a rice cooker.
You can ferment for like yoghourts and things like that.
It's insane.
But the really cool thing is, there's this platform
called Cookiedoo
If I swipe across to the left.
And I've already logged in, okay.
But there's 50,000 recipes on here already, which is insane.
If I just type in chicken, for example,
I know I've got some chicken leftover.
I can just find recipes that are chicken.
Look, 298 chicken recipes.
I'm only going to tell you a snippet of this.
But on the screen right now is Thermomix's
recipe platform called Cookidoo.
Now this platform has over 50,000 recipes right now.
The amazing thing is you can start to almost
build your own playlist and compilations
and collections of recipes that you like.
You can add them to your planner for the week
so you can organise your meals.
And then even cooler than that,
you can actually get it delivered
with online retailers
and even your own supermarket local to you.
Additionally, you can make shopping lists
(gentle music)
(car door closes) Right, I've just got in
from the supermarket. We're still in the
car park right now.
So yesterday I picked out on my desktop
on Cookidoo the recipes we're doing today
that important to the app on my phone,
which created a shopping list, okay?
So if you've got 100 grammes of flour on one recipe
and a kilo of the other, it'll import your shopping list.
So 1.1 kilos of flour.
So you get the total amount for all the recipes on there.
It kind of goes hand-in-hand because now
from the desktop to my phone and then tomorrow
all of these ingredients will be ready.
So I actually already know what we're doing today
because it's already on the machine.
Our lemonade, the dole
and the honeycomb are already on there
logged into my Cookidoo.
I've already bought the ingredients and all that time.
This is B still reading the manual.
- I am. - Health and safety.
- Yes
We've seen all this...(laughs)
- Yes (indistinct) Mrs. B
Mrs. B loves cake.
Can we make this lemonade now?
- (indistinct chatter)
- Stop looking at the cake.
- [Barry] Wait, if we keep playing with it,
- [Mrs. B] Oh look.
- [Barry] Yes, it's got my lists. Look.
Lemonade, coconut dole and honeycomb.
That's what we're doing today.
- [Mrs. B] You could plan your week.
- [Barry] I did just try and say that, but you've...
- I was, I was reading that, Sorry.
- (laughs)
- [Barry] So you start cooking.
- Yeah.
- Right. Place two to three lemons.
Unpeeled, halved, seed too.
- What, this is amazing.
I can't believe it's just all there.
Oh, I like this.
- Come on, Let's do it.
Two to three lemons. Let's go.
- Okay. I'm just so excited now. (chuckles)
- When life gives you lemons. - (laughs)
- [Barry] And this is a lemonade recipe
similar to the one we've done before
where you just add the whole lemon in.
And it sounds like it will be really bitter.
But the more sugar you add it balances it out.
- [Mrs. B] Next.
- [Barry] 100 grammes of caster sugar.
And now look, this is the amazing thing.
Can you see that?
All right. You pour, look.
And it's going up, see. - [Mrs. B] Wow.
- [Barry] It's just going to be like one
of those things that are petrol pump.
100 grammes, you've gone to 100 and,
you've gone 136 grammes of sugar
(laughs)
(indistinct)
I've got big (indistinct) just to taste.
- [Barry] It does. - We like sweet lemons.
- [Barry] We love sweet lemons - And we put three lemons,
not two. - [Barry] Yeah.
Oh, do we?
Oh, that's fine.
Okay. That's brilliant.
That's, that's great.
- I'm just going code,
we're watching the numbers going
(both laugh)
- [Barry] Look a game.
I've not seen Mrs. B
this excited since Chloe was born, right?
- Yes. - [Barry] 500 grammes of water.
Which is 10 nails.
Oh, we'll take that.
We'll take that
(thermomix lid closes) Fits in snug like that, okay.
- [Mrs. B] Okay. - [Barry] Turn the speed.
Select it to 10.
I want to see if these, it should clamp it down.
All right.
- Okay.
(thermomix powers) - See that?
Did you see that?
(thermomix powers loudly) - I did.
- [Barry] But it says to hold the simmering basket
in place with a spatula and strain it into a jug
- Oh, there you go. (lemonade pours)
- Our Lemonade.
is born.
Look at that.
- Oh. - All right.
I think... - That's nice.
- You nailed it with the sugar. (laughs)
- Oh, I love it.
- You want to see a dole?
- Yeah.
Darling.
- Now , the other thing is when it comes to cleaning it
the base comes off,
It twists off.
So you can take the actual blade
off and clean it fully like that.
That is if you want to clean it that way.
Once we've doe this dole,
we're gonna self clean it.
It can see that's the first time I've used it.
We can become masters in a year's time.
We don't need anything else in the kitchen.
- No, we don't.
And considering there are cheap products out there.
This does about 20 of these products.
But in one. - In one.
- In one.
- Can we just have this as the kitchen now.
(gentle music) - [Mrs. B] Start cooking.
- [Barry] Right.
240 grammes of onions.
- [Mrs. B] Just under. - [Barry] Nice.
- [Mrs. B] That'd be all right.
Next. - [Barry] Yeah.
- [Mrs. B] One to two green cherries to taste.
- [Barry] I'd put two in there, but we agreed off camera.
Just one, right? - [Mrs. B] One.
- [Barry] Boom. 150 grammes of tomatoes quartered.
So we went some nice cherry tomatoes.
- [Mrs. B] Next.
- [Barry] Insert the measuring cup into the mixing bowl lid.
Yep. So that's in. - [Mrs. B] Right.
- [Barry] Turn the speed to six.
All right. - [Mrs. B] Okay.
- [Barry] Go.
(thermomix starts mixing)
(thermomix signals sounds)
- (laughs)
(thermomix sounds)
- [Barry] What? Are you excited by the noise?
- Yeah.
- [Barry] I've just started at mate.
And at the moment, despite there being 50,000 recipes,
there's no recipe for dog biscuits.
I'm sorry.
So I lend towards her in there.
Coconut milk going in.
One teaspoon of turmeric. - [Mrs. B] One.
- [Barry] Two teaspoons of mustard seeds.
- [Mrs. B] Two.
- [Barry] Vegetable stock.
Straight in there.
So it's going to do it for 15 minutes at 110 degrees.
And look at this, can you see that green arrow?
- [Mrs B] Yeah.
- [Barry] The reason it's going that
and going that way is because
if it goes the other way, that's where the blade
is cerated to it's chopping.
But by going the other way, it's stirring.
- Gentler?
- [Barry] Yeah. So it's not gonna,
it doesn't need to whiz up anymore.
So let's go for it.
- [Mrs B] So I just turn it to one.
- [Barry] Turn it to speed one.
(thermomix powers)
It's locked it down.
(thermomix vibrates)
Yeah.
- [Barry] Yeah.
And in just under 15 minutes, darling,
our dole will be done. - Yes.
- And it gives you the recipes...
- Just walked in the room
and Phoebe's being homeschooled this week
and she's raving about it.
- Does it do homework?
- [Both] Does it do homework?
- It doesn't do homework.
All right, it won't do homework. (laughs)
- [Barry] Are you feeling all right?
- (laughs)
(thermomix signals sounds)
- [Barry] Oh my gosh.
I love that bit.
They're like DeLorean doors.
- (laughs) - Like Back To The Future.
So the last thing we're doing, we're just adding spinach
and we've taken the lid off, right?
Is that a heat is going to wilt it.
We grab the spatula.
- Yeah - And just push it down.
Okay. And stir it through into the dole.
- [Mrs. B] I think we're done.
- [Barry] Oh my gosh.
Look at how vibrant that is.
- [Mrs. B] Wow.
- [Barry] It Smells so good.
I'm really hungry now.
Serve hot with a scattering of chopped coriander.
What are the chances of that?
Oh.
- Wow.
- We've done quite well.
- Doesn't it look like the picture?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
- That's what it is.
Oh, it's still hot.
Oh my gosh.
- Wow.
- That is really tasty.
- Wow. - It's good, Isn't it?
- That's yummy.
- [Barry] Right.
Entry, Very stuff.
I've cleaned it as best I can.
(both laugh)
You're used to that, right?
- Yes.
- [Barry] We've got a dirty lid.
You've got the dirty cap as well.
We've got some warm water
and some washing up liquid - Okay.
- [Barry] This, right? - Yeah.
- [Barry] It's going to clean itself.
- No. - [Barry] Something called
pre-clean. There we go.
Pour a maximum of one litre of water and a little drop
of washing up liquid or vinegar into the bowl.
(water pours into the thermomix)
Very nice.
And what I didn't realise is that actually
does it different temperatures.
So if you make a caramel
or something like that in there, it actually warms up more.
So let's get going.
(thermomix starts cleaning)
And that my friends has turned it into a dishwasher.
It's going to be dirty water. (thermomix signals sounds)
Oh my gosh.
We got obviously rinse that off.
- Yes. - But, this is the main thing.
(dirty water pours into the sink)
Would you accept that?
If I wash that up, you have very high standards.
- I would. - [Barry] Yes.
- Yes, I would accept that.
- [Barry] I think that's plumbing stonking.
Okay. I'll find a recipe attempt.
It's honeycomb.
- Yeah. - Okay. I just love
the bubbling of honeycomb. - Yes.
- But we need to get this right.
We need to get it almost bang on.
- Okay. - Right, 300 grammes
of granulated sugar going in.
(sugar pours in the thermomix)
Bit more.
20 grammes of honey, all gone here.
All right.
20 grammes. - Oh
- [Barry] Bang on.
Nice one mate. - [Mrs B] Bang on.
- [Barry] All right.
The waters in there.
(laughs) Are you ready for this?
- Yes. (thermomix powers)
- [Barry] That Is caramelising.
(water boils in the thermomix)
Oh my gosh. There's steam in the camera.
They need to be ready quick here.
What's going to happen?
- [Mrs. B] Okay. - [Barry] The time is going.
(thermomix signals sounds) Oh, it's taken up.
Lid off. - [Mrs. B] Lid off.
- [Barry] Yeah. - [ Mrs. B] Okay, ready.
- [Barry] Yeah.
Bicarbonate of soda goes in.
And we stir it.
Yeah. And it should foam up.
(thermomix signals sounds)
Let me pour that.
(thermomix signals sounds)
Come out, scrape out.
That's actual honeycomb.
- [Mrs. B] Oh my gosh.
- [Barry] That's amazing.
Look how risen that is.
- [Mrs. B] Oh my God.
- [Barry] When I made honeycomb before.
It, it does get that height
but not that volume stay in there.
(indistinct)
All right, It has been an hour cool down,
fully set, nice and safe to hold.
And the Thermomix is clean.
And I'm doing one extra bonus thing.
The smell of honeycomb
is one of the best things in the world.
I love it, but we like get chocolate covered.
- Of course.
- So with the clean Thermomix, we are now doing
a sous vide chocolate.
I'm tempering milk chocolate in there.
It's in the simmering basket, just in a sealed bag (sings).
But if that does work,
not only do I not need my Sous vide machine
or my chocolate temper machine, but we can like do loads
of stuff in there, like steaks and chickens and stuff.
Really nice sous vide style.
So I hope that you've enjoyed our review of the Thermomix.
Cause I didn't know what it was.
And I'm glad that we've been invited to do this for you.
So thank you to Thermomix for sponsoring the video.
It generally is a really impressive bit of kit.
Isn't it? - Yes.
Definitely, I'm blown away by it.
- So I think the best thing to do, if you check
out the links below in this video description to find
out more about the Thermomix, you can book a demo
or find out more about the Cookidoo as well.
There's just so much more that we could have squeezed
into this video, but it would be like, I don't know.
It'd be like - The whole day. (laughs)
- Yeah, it'll be like the director's cut like 10 days.
We'll see you again next time.
Let's see if the chocolates worked.
