Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today. We're
talking Thermi Mix because we talked about this on the
radio a little while ago, and there seems we're a
massive community. You call them the them Mix Mafia.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Well they are, and I think if you've ever come
across someone that owns a Thermo Mix, they will tell
you how wonderful it is. And then they host parties
and demonstrations. And even when we talked about it on Coast,
we got messages like this one. Look at this delicious
recipe that I found on Cookie Dough Cookie Do Sorry,
which is the program. I think, I'm so new to this.

(00:35):
I haven't even like fully cracked into my Thermo mix yet.
But it's an oatmeal raisin cookie and she uses her
Thermo Mix every single day, so there's recipes. And the
great thing is it just tells you step by step
at ways at all, and they become quite a I
don't want to say cult because I don't think it's
quite that, but you become quite a community.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's a community, it's an association, that's right. Yeah, what's a.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Cornish fearing I don't know. Someone suggested that I'm Cornish fairings.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, isn't that some sort of pastry thing. So my
wife Loys's friend Kirsten has one of these, and she
swears by because it's basically a fails safe. It replaces
twenty different appliances, and as you're pouring the things into
the therma mix, it says a bit more, a bit more,
a little bit more. Okay, stop it doesn't. You don't
have to be very good at measuring stuff. It'll do
things for you. And those are things like dairy free
macadamia and lime cheesecakes. Pull the stuff in, it'll tell

(01:25):
you what's put in. Pushing the button, walk away. It's
that good.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Jason. By the way, a Cornish fearing is a biki.
It looks like a sort of golden hands at cookie.
Oh really apparently very very good with fudge. But you
can also do paint card as, things like drinks with
it as well. I just what I want to What
I hope will happen now that my husband's decided for
the family that we're going to be thermomics people. Is
I hope that I get enough use out of it,

(01:48):
because it's an expensive item. I was a bit like,
oh God, who's brought one of those? Now I'm only
going to have to really have to use it. So
what I want to know is is it going to
make up for the fact that we don't now need
a smoothie maker? Do we not need that? We certainly
won't need the food processor. So you want to chop
up onions, you literally chuck the onion and it chops

(02:09):
it up. And then like if I was going to
do a spaghetti bolonnaise, chuck the onion in. Does that,
but then how does it fry the onion off? You
know how like when you do a spag bowl brown
in a certain way, you around that first, or does
it just all go into the machine?

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Apparently it does it all for it in different steps,
and then it like shuffles the ingredients to a different
part of the actual machine so that other part can
cook at a different temperature. Apparently I don't know that
much about it, but I mean you can do things
like if you can go from making a peina kilada
into a chicken kiev, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
They do say to get a second bowl so that
your peanu colata doesn't start smell like minsala. The other
positive that I had heard is it's actually quite a
cool thing for kids to be able to use because
they can. It's a step by step instruction to help
them learn how to cook. You know, when you've got
someone else other than your parent telling them what to do,

(02:59):
like the machine. Yeah, and that's the way to do it.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I see the chances I listen more if it's not
the parent telling a year.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
The other thing is the other positive that I hope
to gain from this is when I cook or when
I bake, I use multiple bowls, right, and then you're
constantly cleaning them. With this, it's just all in the
one bowl, So you're cleaning your Thermomock's bowl, but not
everything else because you don't have to measure things like
you would in a measuring jug normally, you're not having
to then clean the jug.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
So when when you got it, like you take it
out of the box, you have to download some sort
of like some sort of wizardry, right, some sort of
Apple some sort of what I had to do software or.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Something, download the it from the app store, right, and
then I had to register, So you put on your
email and a password, and then I entered those details
into the machine and it said hello Tony Street, and
now and now I'm good to go. Wow. You can
even what it will do is it will say, let's
say I'm doing the chicken kiev recipe, and then it
like pings all of the ingredients to my phone for

(03:57):
my shopping list, so I know what I have to buy. No,
And what I'm excited about is I might be able
to get rid of my rice cooker now because apparently
it cooks perfect rice, does it really? And it also
cooks homemade bread. So if you've got a bread maker,
I wonder if it does the what's the thing that
I sell to you? Oh? I wonder if air Frys
things might actually does everything else.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
The other replies, do you know the number one most
popular thing that people in New Zealand make with a themix?
The most common thing keywis are making butter chicken? Okay,
but a chicken is the most common thing made in
the mix in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
And do you know what I feel like buttered chicken?
To make it well is quite time intensive? Oh yeah,
anything that's going to take heaps of time. If it
can do it quickly for me, that does everything for you, Yeah,
I'm going to have to just do some experimenting, bring
it in, and then we'll tell you whether it's worth keeping.
