Should you buy a Thermomix?
—no need to evaluate onions’ progress as they brown in some oil, no tasting to see if the carrots are tender. I started by following the preset recipes, because cooking with the Thermomix is so different than cooking with any other appliance. To make “Asian-Style” rice with eggs and vegetables, the Thermomix instructed me to put sesame oil and half of an onion into the mixer bowl; it chopped the onion. Then it told me to add peeled carrot hunks; it chopped those, too.
The machine told me to scrape that mixture into a serving bowl. I poured rice into the steamer basket, added water to the mixing bowl, put broccoli florets in the top tray and let everything steam for 14 minutes. Meanwhile, I whisked four eggs in a bowl, lined the optional insert with damp parchment paper, and made a tower of rice, broccoli and egg inside the machine. The whole thing steamed for six minutes, at which point the machine informed me that it might need one more minute. I checked.
By then, I was done with this dish. It should have been as easy as fried rice, something I make all the time, but instead it made me feel like it was my first time setting foot in a kitchen. I dumped it all together in the serving bowl. It was fine.
