The Thermomix is a multi-purpose kitchen appliance of the Multicooker type made by Vorwerk. The current Thermomix has a heating element, a motor for fast or slow blending and stirring, and a weighing scale. The functions can be accessed simultaneously to carry out steaming, emulsifying, blending, precise heating, mixing, milling, whipping, kneading, chopping, weighing, grinding and stirring. The 2014 Thermomix TM5 also has a touchscreen with a guided mode which allows the user to follow recipes step by step.
Thermomix is a hybrid word derived from thermo- ('heating', from Greek θερμός thermós 'hot') and mix. In Italy and Portugal, it is sold under the trademark Bimby.[1]
