Should I buy a Second bowl and Blade set?

[dede]

It took me 7.5 months to decide I needed a second bowl and blade set. Will make life much easier. Think I might go a make some bread and leave it in the bowl to rise just because I can lol.

  Those are my famous words when someone asks me why I make something the tis rather out of the ordinary - "just because I can" lol have fun

[Cuilidh]

It's amazing what you do in the TMX "just because you can".  I often make things I don't necessarily need or want, for the fun of it and just because I can!!

Faffa and I are certainly following each around on this thread this afternoon!

Hi I am also a mum of 5 kiddies (6 if include hubby  ). I have been thinking about getting a second bowl as well, does anyone know the cost of one??

[dede]

Cost me $404 with postage ReneD 78. Well worth it when you have a large family. And I agree with the DH also being a big kid

Have fun cooking in your new bowl Dede.

[faffa_70]

ReneD you will never regret it. I know it is another largish cost after the TMX but with a large family it really does make it so much easier to get other things on and then go and wash the bowl etc

[Bedlam]

I actually think it adds heaps of value to your Thermie,you can utilize it so much more. I have no regrets. It is the same as the initial purchase you worry about the cost until you are using it and then it is forgotten because you love it.

Mine arrived just before midday today...  I haven't had time to even wash it yet due to appointments and a busy day!  Oops!!

Tonight was a bit of a rush as I had to pick up my DS from football training which is right on tea time. But I come home and made chow mein and while that was cooking I prepared the potatoes in the other bowl ready to cook as soon as the chow mein was done.  So already it has saved me time.

I would say. yes you should.  I have had my TMX for just over 3 months and am totally in love with him. 
I think all of us who are lucky enough to have a Thermie in our lives know we could never live without him (sorry to those who have a "her"). 
Like most of us who originally thought the cost was inhibitive and who now have forgotten about the price, I think having a second bowl would make things even better and more Thermomixically delicious.

I intend to get one soon and I can only begin to imagine how much more easier, creative and fun cooking will be.

Go for it!!

An advantage to living in Germany is the second bowl is on $261.65AUD or 189 Euros.  It doesn't come with spatula or steam basket but does come with MC.  I really could have used it tonight with dinner but I will need to save up a little bit. The German link is just here...

As promised, I received my second bowl from Thermomix within 24 hours.  I  celebrated by making a Lemon Chiffon cake which requires 2 bowls so that  egg whites and cream of tartar can go in a clean bowl and beaters. It was so good to know that I didn't have to be concerned that my egg whites wouldn't peak. It seemed strange to be washing 2 bowls at the end and I confess that I felt a twinge of conscience in being so indulgent without even a birthday or Christmas to make an excuse for.   It didn't last long though and I am looking forward to using it.

[ReneD 78]

thanks for all that info, must say it is frustrating having to wash the bowl mid way cooking some things!!! Lucky I have a birthday and christmas coming up

Well I have had my second bowl and blade set for a little while now and have used it so many times already. It Definitly makes life that much easier and quicker. I can have one thing cooking and prepare another thing ready to cook in the other bowl ready to go as soon as the first bowl is done. Love it and so glad I brought it. So if anyone is considering buying a second bowl I would Definitly say go for it.
