There's a new kid on the block... and it just might give Thermomix a run for it's money!!
Jamie Oliver has teamed up with Philips to produce a new home cooking gadget that does some of the things that Thermomix does - stirs, cooks (40°C to 250°C), timer - but not others - grind, blend, weigh etc. It'll be available in John Lewis in the UK (reputation for stocking quality products) from 16th September and will cost £250. For an optional £100 extra you can get an add-on gadget that chops, slices, shreds and grates. So for £350 all-in it could be serious competition for TMX.
