New Video: I often get asked which items I make most frequently in my Thermomix® TM6. Since I started using the Thermomix®, there are several pantry staples I no longer buy at the grocery store. Below are the top five things I prepare at home that save time, reduce waste, and let me control ingredients.
- Almond milk: I make my own nut milks at home, and almond milk is my favorite. It’s simple to prepare, tastes fresher than store-bought versions, and I can adjust the sweetness and thickness to suit recipes or drinking.
- Almond flour: The Thermomix® grinds nuts and grains quickly, so making almond flour, oat flour, or rice flour takes seconds. Freshly ground flours give better texture and flavor in baking, and I make them right before using for best results.
- Homemade jam: Making jam from scratch is straightforward with any fruit, a little lemon juice, and sugar. You can use either fresh or frozen fruit, and the ability to control sugar levels means healthier jars and more vibrant flavors.
- Vegetable stock paste: I always keep a jar of concentrated vegetable stock paste in the fridge and frozen stock portions in the freezer. It’s a versatile base for soups, stews, and sauces and adds consistent, rich flavor to weekday meals.
- Whipped cream: I keep a small carton of heavy whipping cream on hand because the Thermomix® whips it in under two minutes. Fresh whipped cream is perfect for topping fruit, cakes, and desserts and is far superior to many store-bought alternatives.
