Multicooker: who is it really for?
By L'équipe Foyer Gourmand · 8 October 20262 min read
A food processor combines several appliances in one: it weighs, chops, blends, steams, simmers, and reheats. But is it right for you?
What a food processor does
A single machine replaces a scale, a blender, a chopper, a saucepan, and a steamer. It heats and mixes at the same time, allowing you to prepare soups, sauces, purées, bread dough, or stews.
It is right for you if…
- you often cook homemade meals for several people;
- you like being guided step by step by recipes displayed on the screen;
- you lack space and prefer a multi-purpose appliance;
- you want to save time on preparation and washing up.
It may be less suitable for you if…
You rarely cook, you prefer to keep control over every step, or your budget is tight: it is an investment, to be compared to how often you will use it.
What to check before buying
- The bowl capacity: 2.2 L on the Thermomix TM7, which is enough for most family recipes.
- Connectivity and recipes: the TM7 includes the Cookidoo® platform. Check the conditions for accessing recipes before deciding.
- Maintenance: the bowl and accessories are easy to rinse; refer to the product sheet to find out what is dishwasher-safe.
- Size: plan for space on the countertop or in an accessible cupboard.
Key takeaways
- A food processor is especially useful for those who cook regularly at home.
- The screen and guided recipes make it easy to use.
- Compare the price to how often you will actually use it.
