I use the food processor mainly for the production of yeast doughs. Occasionally sometimes egg whites or creams for cakes.
The cooking function I hardly use, since the application of heat protection and splash guard annoying. These are also the only two parts of the act rather inferior machine. The rest is very high, especially in the kneading / Agitator elements you get fun on the machine.
In my opinion, the machine is perfect for baking activities. The cooking of dishes is more complicated because, for example at a soup (the Food Processor,) the large cooking pot and blender are needed. When you have to change anything Thermomix can for max. Produce 2 liters.
Strong buy recommendation for all who like to imagine an appealing machine in the kitchen and have fun baking in larger dimensions.
