When visiting the Culinary Institute of America for a Fellows Event, I experienced a cooking technology that impressed me.A company called Vorwerk showcased their product, Thermomix—a hugely popular product overseas. Thermomix is an amazing piece of equipment, often found in the best restaurants in the world. I was amazed at its capabilities. So what is it exactly? It is an all-in-one kitchen appliance (for home chefs and professional chefs) that is essentially a high-tech, smart blender that can cook food at controlled temperatures with extraordinary features like a built-in digital scale. It can mince, grate, juice, blend, heat, steam, whip, mill, chop, and stir food. Moreover, it can make ice cream, sorbet and do Sous Vide! While I don't impress easily, I will tell you that this is an amazing piece of equipment that can take your food to the next level.There’s another creative feature I found to be quite handy as well. The Thermomix can load up tens of thousands of recipes from all over the world to the device via WiFi. I am certainly excited to try out this device in the Synergy Test Kitchen soon.
