[Sca-cooks] Theromix? Thermomix?

Theromix just came to our country so we want to make a pop up cabinet
for that. With that acquisition we will be getting rid of several
appliances, thus compacting space in the long run. >>>

Do you mean a "thermomix"? I can't seem to find much on a "Theromix".

I'd never heard of one before. I'm a bit skeptical of trying to  
combine that many functions into one item. Like making a flying car,  
where you have to make so many compromises that you get a substandard  
airplane and a substandard car.

seems to be a useful site about them. Even a cookbook about cooking  
with them, although I doubt you, Suey, would need such a book.

It sort of sounds like a very high-end food processor that can also  
heat foods and weigh them.

If you get one, or anyone else has one, I'd love to hear whether it  
lives up to the hype. It's not an impulse buy!

As far as other space saving ideas, a set of pans that nest together.  
Mine having been collected from various places over time, don't all  
nest together well. Some do, many do not.

A compact and convenient way to store spices. Many of my spice jars  
are in a vertical wire rack inside the cupboard door, but that was  
filled long ago, and now they are in various, sometimes difficult to  
look through, areas around the kitchen and deep on cupboard shelves.
