Vitamix will heat things up through friction heat after a few minutes. Thermomix can go on (indefinitely?) without heating up. Was just curious mostly because through experience Vitamix will blitz a puree or powder something extremely quickly, making me wonder why the Relae book would call for a thermo for a blitz job

 

I've processed/pureed some things in a vitamix that seemed to heat up pretty quickly, and also some things that took a while to get really smooth (last time I made celery root puree it took forever and I have no idea why). 

 

If the stuff the things they were putting in the blender weren't heat-sensitive at all, I bet the thermomix homies threw them some money to highlight their products. 

 

Do you know how it manages to keep things from heating up? 

 

I'm on the Thermomix website right now and it is real fucking bizarre, haha.

 

 

@youkinorn - that breakfast looks great and simple. how did you make the sausage gravy?

 

p.s. always thought your username was 'unicorn' 

 

Thanks, dude. 

 

For the gravy, I cooked the chopped up bacon slowly until it was crisp. Took it out of the pan and saved all the fat that rendered out. Browned the sausage and took it out with a slotted spoon so that all the fat stayed in the pan. Added the bacon fat back and then added some flour to make a roux (just eye-balled it...maybe 2/3 of a cup or a little more?), and let that cook for a minute or so...got a little color, but still very blonde. Then added a bunch of milk, most of a quart, while whisking hard so that it didn't clump up.

 

Then I added the sausage back in, some sweet smoked paprika, a splash of maple syrup (1/4 to 1/2 an ounce, maybe), a bunch of black pepper, and some hot sauce. And salt. 

 

Everyone loves biscuits and gravy, and even making the biscuits from scratch, it takes less than an hour.

Through anecdotal evidence, a new Vitamix should take a 3~ minutes to heat up. It's not a big deal for a lot of purees though isn't it, since the ingredients go in warm anyways and/or you just transfer to an ice bath.

 

 

No clue how a thermomix works, German space magic

Yo youinkorn, you have a vac pack machine? I want to seal liquids but the cheapest chamber vac is like 600

 

Nah, I don't even have a foodsaver bargain sort of vacuum sealer...would like one and one of the little home circulators that are popular now, though.

 

Haven't used a chamber vac since I was working in a kitchen. 600 seems cheap for one, though, what kind are you looking at?

 

You should call into Cooking Issues and see what they have to say about options for vaccing liquid (excellent podcast, if you've never listened)...I think you can do small amounts with the cheap machines, but could be wrong.

but was thinking of getting one of the cheaper polyscience models since the vacc is adjustable so it won't be perfect like at work but w/e I'm cooking at home

Dude... You have access to cheap ass fresh seafood and street food amongst other things and wanna go maccas?

 

Also if you're in a major city decent quality beef isn't that hard to find. For a price.

Meh what I meant was getting stoned and snap the burger to my nearest maccas which was only couple mins of walk. Im more like missing those good ol times : )

 

On the other hand yes I gotta agree for the seafood beside maybe I couldnt find decent cheap seafood back there.

 

For the best dining experience I would recommend: vue de monde, nobu (crown), meat & wine (near freshwater apt) and list goes on.
