I'm sure Ruth won't mind shelling out the money. The article says that the device can turn an average cook into a fantastic cook, so maybe it can make an average cook out of Peter! That AUS$1939 equates to much less in U.S. currency. You probably spend that much on electricity in a month or two. Bob |

LOL, the famigerated Bimby... in the italian cooking NG there has been more than one discussion, and many flames, over that product. If it's the same sold here, it's a solid thing that does its job without errors, well built, and looks like some famous chefs use it for sauces, like bechamel or catalana custard. And it's about 900 or 1000 euros... -- Vilco Mai guardare Trailer park Boys senza qualcosa da bere a portata di mano |

The thing that got me going was the demo on making your own butter as you need some from cream, and then using the leftover buttermilk to make scones, or bread!! If you do a search for Thermomix on YouTube, it'll come up with many cooking demos showing what the thing does. |
