Title: Thermoservers
Post by: nmiles76 on July 04, 2013, 01:44:31 pm

Hi I really need a thermoserver but I bought my machine outright and didn't have a demo. As I understand you cannot buy them so what else could I buy to do the job? ???

You can buy food thermos bowls from Ikea and Indian grocery shops nm76.  I have one of the Indian store ones and it's fine.  I do like the thermomix ones though but there's no chance of buying one, they are strictly for people who have a demo.

Hi NM.  Yes, Judy has explained it well.

I thought I'd just mention that in July this year, if you do happen to have a small demo (you and two other friends or relations) then you receive both Thermoserver 2 litre and the new 2.5 litre oval Thermoserver.

They go for ridiculous prices on e-Bay but for existing owners there is a special on where you can buy them a very low price if you host a demo or get them both free if someone happens to buy but that must be within three days of your demo.

Have a look on http://www.thermomix.com.au - there should be a link to the promo on the main page.

BZB... I bought this at my local Indian grocer here in Sydney.. It came in two sizes and is very efficient . I'll check for the actual volume. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/05/vyde2agy.jpg)

BZB - these were in two sizes.  The larger one holds just under 2 litres and the smaller one holds just under 1 1/2 litres.

Would have never considered a grocery shop for such an item, GF ;D

Sorry I've taken so long to put my photo up BZB, been galavanting today.  Mine is plastic with a stainless steel liner from the Indian Grocery Shop and holds 1.5 litres.

I believe that Ikea is no longer selling their insulated bowl, which is a pity as I really like mine and used it tonight.

Thanks guys, very helpful.  I made 2 curries last night and something like these containers would have been very helpful.  I am in Perth so will look for an Indian shop to see what they have.

I also saw the same brand at a shop at broadmeadows shopping centre in (i think) 4 litre size

I must admit I love my 3 thermoserves & use at least one every day.

Not sure what is so specal about the oval one.

Tupperware has a thermal dish, just bought one, i now use it for my soups & rice as it can go in the microwave :)

Halex, the oval one has 2.5 litre capacity and also suits some dishes better artistically.  It does take more space on the table though.  I think the three different sizes do look appealing at a buffet but the best-known is 2.2 litre.

I only bought the three piece set because I needed a smaller one to set my yoghurt and the 2.5 litre and 4 litre are too big. 

It's only hubby and I so I'd never use the bigger sizes

I use the 1.2 litre size and worked a treat.  Yoghurt was fantastic
