This has been great, I love using it and I think it's just as good as the thermomix but half the price! Show reply
A great purchase for a single bloke. The Thermocook has given me the tools and recipes to prepare healthy meals that I otherwise would have passed up as too difficult or simply didn't know how to cook them. My freezer is full of great hearty meals and the fridge has plenty of dips for a snack. I would have given 5 stars if there was help to adjust recipes for single serves. Show details · 1
A week ago our lives changed overnight with finding out our 2yo needed to go gluten free, dairy free, oat free with some other random allergies (sunflower, peas, apricots) after battling with his skin for the last 18 months and getting nowhere. I was getting rather overwhelmed with the little food options that he had as sunflower seems to be… Read more · 1
EVERYWHERE, and knew it was crucial now more than ever to make as much as I can for him. I was already thinking about getting the TM7 but the price, the plastic accessories, size of the bowl, the additional accessories that I needed to get just to be able to use it how I wanted was hard to take the plunge - until I found the ThermoCook. I was on the fence about which machine to go for, and feared I would miss out on the TM7 quality, however fear no more as this beast is next level!
Anyway, I made my boy some safe No Nasties Nutella, and some cheeky marshmallows and can breathe a little easier knowing this machine is going to change our lives, literally
Haven’t used much as yet as we have been away, but enjoying our Thermocook journey so far, as we are completely new to anything thermo cooking. Finding the machine very easy to use with one hand and the self cleaning module makes it so much easier for clean up. The recipes use so far, we have both really enjoyed as they are delicious. The silky smooth porridge with chai honey was filling & enjoyable. Show details · 1

Postage was really fast. The product is exactly how its shown on their website. Easy to use. I've been using mine every day since it arrived. Highly recommend when you're short on time and need a family meal on the table in 30 minutes Show reply
The thermocouple pro m3.0 is great works really well easy to use Show details · 1
Still learning my way but so far I love it! Lots of recipes to pick from. Live cooking demonstrations. Good customer service. If you're on the fence, buy it. Better still, pick up a great deal in the Black Friday sale! Authentic Butter Chicken & Risotto, the taste is unreal. Show details · 1

I just tried the Sous Vide mode on my new Thermocook pro 3 and was absolutely delighted with the ease of the process and end result achieved! I chose 55C for 3 hours, to get medium rare ribeye steak. The machine maintained the temp consistently and evenly and only counted the time down from when it had reached the required temp. It came out even… Read more · 1
better than expected. Flavours infused into the meat beautifully. Im looking forward to trying this method with some salmon next.
I am so happy that I bought a Thermocook. I have neuropathy in my feet after cancer treatment and had really stopped cooking as I can’t stand for long. This machine has reignited my love of cooking and entertaining. The Thermocook can slice or chop the vegetables, weigh, grind and toast the spices, and then cook the entire curry. All in one bowl,… Read more · 1
so the washing is minimal and it has a cleaning cycle for that too! All attachments are dishwasher proof also. I have made dips in seconds and although I often use my own recipes, the Thermocook has lots of fabulous recipes inbuilt at no extra cost. It can be used manually or I use an automatic recipe but change the ingredients to suit my favorite recipes. Since bringing this product into my home, I have moved my Magimix food processor, Magimix blender and a Bamix stick blender to the back of the cupboard. I made the dough for pita bread in the Thermocook. Fabulous. Keeping the kitchen aid stand mixer handy but have not used it recently. It has a pasta attachment. Can’t see this fabulous addition to my kitchen rolling out the fettuccine yet. Who knows in the future?
The best buy i have done in a long time. The Thermocook is fantastic. Being new at it, I find it easy to use. I'm sure with practice, I'm just going to get better. So many recipes, which makes dinner really easy. Love the app. Shopping list also makes it easy. Show details · 1
So now that I have been the owner of this wonder machine for a while, this is a follow-up on my original review. I continue to love this multi-talented kitchen marvel, which has not only made the speedy creation of culinary delights so much easier, but has also cleared my benches of those endless other machines. As mentioned previously, the… Read more · 1
subject of dough is one of paramount importance in my kitchen and nothing, including endless kneading by hand, compares to the outstanding dough consistency of my Thermocook Pro M3. I have now learned that I can also create the perfect, fail safe sponge cake without all the usual hassle in the blink of an eye. The steaming function is another fabulous addition for those conscious of retaining nutritional value and mothers who prefer to make their own, additive free baby food. Pop your vegetables in the steamer and once cooked, puree them to the desired consistency. So healthy, so fast and so easy! Actually, I recently chose this option after oral surgery and unable to eat normal meals for a week. I love the food processor - again, so fast and efficient, but do have one request. I for one would welcome another size blade with a fine shredding function. Coleslaw for instance, turns out so much better with a finer consistency. "Food" for thought. All in all, I'm just so glad that I invested in this all round fabulous machine. Endless options and functions, all of which will make your kitchen adventure so much faster. It is sturdy and well made, it is easy to handle, it prevents overheating and always alerts you to any missteps. The food tastes great and the price is far more affordable than competitors.

I have been thrilled with my TM Pro 3. Have previously owned a TM5 and decided I missed it after selling it. After lots of deliberation, I thought buying the Australian Froothie thermocooker would be a better option now!! It’s huge bowl, huge 10”touchscreen and versatility makes cooking efficient and enjoyable. I’ve made soups, slices, bolognaise,… Read more · 1
stock paste, curries, tray bakes, dough for bread/ naan, healthy frozen fruit ice cream, milled flour, sugar, grated veges/hard cheeses and made nut butters. This morning I made a cultured butter… Especially loving the built in scales, automated recipes, extra handles in jug for safe lifting/carrying, self cleaning feature and food processor add on! I appreciate the ability to move in and out of settings, vary times, speeds and temperatures and use the machine manually as needed. It feels well made and seems to power through all tasks to date.
I first heard about thermo cookers years ago when we went to a friends for dinner and she cooked a whole meal in it. Then I came across them again a couple of years ago when another friend had one and my interest was rekindled, but we couldn’t afford it and I wasn’t sure I wanted to learn a new way of cooking. Then a couple of months ago I found… Read more · 1
the Froothie Thermocook Pro M3. The price was great, its features looked great, so I went ahead and bought it. And I absolutely love it! It is more than I was hoping for. So simple to use, more than 1000 free recipes inbuilt, and the after sales service is the best customer service I’ve encountered, including free classes! I fully recommend the Thermocook by Froothie. I’m attaching some photos of some recipes I’ve made recently, Scones, Chocolate Pancake, Fastest Cupcakes, all beautiful! I wish I hadn’t have waited so long! I am loving my time in the kitchen again.

Was in the market for a new mixer when I came across the Optimum Thermocook Pro 3.0 which actually does this and more! Was aware of the competitive product but the substantial price difference, free recipe library and superior stainless steel accessories got me over the line 100%.

processor attachment. Loving waking up in the mornings and setting the machine to make the most divine oatmeal and magnificent chia seed porridge. Loving the auto kneading function for bread and pizza dough and the silky results never disappoint! Convenient design and bowl handle makes it easy to position on and lift off base. Also loving the generous 3 litre capacity which is a plus when feeding a family. My new best friend in the kitchen, had no idea I’d love it so much!

As a full time working mum, I am time poor and I'm always concerned about finding nutritious foods that can be cooked quickly and easily. The best thing about the thermocook, is the pockets of time you gain whilst it does all the hard work for you. My 9 year old loves to rustle up meals and snacks using the Thermocook and because of the clear… Read more · 1
instructions and inbuilt settings, he can do it alone with little supervision, leaving me time to do all the other household chores. Personally, I love baking but I HATE cooking however, I honestly cannot wait to cook something up at the end of a busy, knowing it won't keep me tied to the kitchen for hours and with the added bonus of knowing what's in the food I am feeding to my family. I really cannot recommend the Thermocook enough, having owned the ProM2 and the ProM3, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Aftercare and online support are amazing, which is an added cherry on the cake.

As a busy mum of 3 children, working full time and studying, I can say without a doubt that my ThermoCook has been my saving grace. I’ve always been a devoted meal prepper committed to preparing healthy and nutritious meals for my family; and my time has now been freed up to commit to other tasks that I would otherwise not have time for. I did my… Read more · 1
research, considering carefully which product would be best for us, and as a family of 5, other products on the market were just not suitable in catering for a larger family due to small bowl capacity. The ThermoCook boasts a larger bowl enabling me to cook in bulk for the week with ease. The components to the ThermoCook are also primarily stainless steel and hard wearing meaning it’s been built to last and will serve me faithfully for years to come. The ThermoCook is very easy to clean, even when disassembling for deep clean meaning less time is wasted in between when preparing different recipes. The menu and interface is very user friendly and visually appealing, accomodating everyone- irrespective of their technical ability level. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend.
I purchased the Optimum Thermocook pro late last year and I am totally loving the functionality of this product. I have cooked a few different recipes from the menu and have used the many other functions, weigh ingredients for a recipe, grate chop or slice. I have stopped buying store bought grated cheese. It is so easy in the thermocook using… Read more · 1
the food processor attachments to do it myself.
There are a few things in the recipes that need tweaking but the team is always very responsive when questions pop up. As this is still a newer model I understand it doesn’t have the wide community that say the thermomix has. I do believe this product is fantastic and love I don’t have to pay a yearly subscription like the thermomix does for theirs. The price is a lot cheaper for this product too. To do all the things it does,it was well worth it.

I am so impressed with the Thermocook 3.0! After weeks of thorough research to find a new blender to replace my old one, I discovered Froothie and was intrigued by one of their blenders, especially with the incredible warranty that was hard to resist. Searching through their website, I came across the Thermocook 3.0, which I hadn't seen before,… Read more · 1
and I decided to dive into some research again. The competitive price, additional extras, free recipe library, accessories, and numerous bonuses made it an irresistible choice, so I ordered it along with the blender.
This has been by far the best investment I've made in my kitchen. It was quick to set up, and during cooking, my benchtop stayed spotless thanks to the Thermocook's built-in scales and a host of features designed for ease and convenience.
I started with the potato and leek soup, and the feedback was unanimously 'restaurant quality.' The lemonade brought back memories of my grandma's recipe, and the chocolate protein balls were a huge hit!
Cleaning the bowl and accessories is straightforward, and I especially love the stainless steel cooking bowl. The ability to steam three layers simultaneously is a game-changer—so simple and effortless.
I genuinely wish I had found this product sooner—it's been a fantastic addition to my kitchen!

It is a large unit, so make sure you have room for storage if you cant leave it permanently on the bench. The sliding board is a must in my opinion, as it has rubber feet that stick to the bench and it takes a bit of effort to free them. Show details · 3
Follow-up · Slides very easily on board. Board is easy to clean. It has plenty of area for the Thermocook Pro 3.0 to sit on. The only issue I have had is, that the app I downloaded as recommended had been superseded, so I had to call for assistance. The new app is called Cookmix and not Cobotmix. Once I had help to sort that out, it's been great. A very large… Read more
Nothing wrong with the service or the device. But giving it a one star because I'll never use it. After a few goes I find it much quicker and easier to use my old blender, scales, and pan than mess around with this thing. Waste of money for me but your experience might be different.
Follow-up · I originally gave this device a one-star rating because none of the recipes I tried turned out well. After watching Froothie’s chef, Rayan, I’ve learned it’s often best to either ignore the automated recipes or adjust them to get good results. That’s disappointing, as free access to the recipe library was one of the main reasons we chose this over… Read more

Great all in one powerful kitchen appliance, however, it is no match compared to having individual job-specific appliances. Should you get one? Make sure you have a spot on your bench-top for this large machine. It’s too heavy to pull in and out of a cabinet, and is not designed to be moved frequently. If you have a baby and are looking for a… Read more · 1
hands free easy dinner solution- spend your money on a home chef instead. The amount of time you can just push start and let the machine do the work is very minimal. Lots of input is still required on your part. It is not great to use with kids who want to add ingredients because they spill stuff into the crack between the base and the bowl (where the electrical contacts are/ it is a pain to wipe out afterwards). Kids love pushing the buttons though! If you move house often (like me) it’s nice having to pack only one main kitchen appliance.
Regarding the outcome of food: The few automatic recipes which I have tried have typos and/or poor instructions (like which attachment to put in and when?). Failed recipes include mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and crepes. Potatoes were heavy and glue-like, texture of the eggs was all wrong and scraping the remaining cooked egg off of the bowl base was a lot of work, and the crepe batter had chunks in it/ the bottom of the bowl had to be scraped with a spatula and I ended up just mixing by hand.
Successful recipes include peanut butter from peanuts, banana pancakes, and cinnamon roll dough (sort of).
I see myself using this to make homemade dough, condiments, stocks etc. from scratch, but not using the cooking function for meals very often. Perhaps with some adjustment of my own recipes, and some trial and error of order of ingredients, I can successfully make some of my favorites.
Love the ThermoCook Pro M 3.0. The 10-inch screen makes my viewing and searching for recipes on the screen, so much easier, I am not pulling my glasses off and on every couple of minutes.

of a couple of others on the market, and yes, I also have them. Time now to downsize my kitchen and only want to have one, and I know the Optimum ThermoCook Pro M 3.0 is the one, and I don’t have to pay a yearly fee for recipes. Only unexpected, surprise was the size of the base, lucky knowing about the suction caps and movement with inbuilt scales, I ordered the Sliding board at the same time, both arrived together in one box. I do recommend the Sliding board. I have made more dishes in the past few days than Hubby and I could eat, so the freezer is well stocked. I have found most Thermo Recipes are very easy to convert and use in the ThermoCook, if you are not too sure just take your time and play with the time and speed, most dishes I have found you can easily drop the stirring speed down. The slicer/grater is great, also included with the purchase at no extra cost. Very little waste between the lid and the blade, I have had many food processors over the years also, this one does not make you jump due to too high speed, and so easy to clean. I love the stirring Blade and find you can use this Blade for most dishes that you don’t need to chop. I also love how you don’t have to unload and pull the bowl apart to change the Blades. You can also cook Boiled and Poached Eggs with no Blades, just put in the water required, set the Temperature and minutes and away you go. I am a multi-Cooker and have made a number of different dishes, Curries, garlic and onions leave a smell on the lid and in the Bowl, so after washing, I again put it through the washing Program with a little Vinegar, a few drops of dishwashing detergent and half a teaspoon of Bi Carb of soda in the water, then rinse. The ThermoCook Pro M 3.0 does everything I need to do and how I want to do it, when converting your own recipes, it is easy, you just need to get to know the speed and the temperature, and if you allow time, you will learn very quickly. I have no regrets with purchasing the Optimum ThermoCook Pro M 3.0 and it has now taken Number one place in my Kitchen, I love it.
I've had my cooker for a good 5 months now it sits on my bench permanently so I can access it every day.

Chans noodle salad and blending soup to name a few. The steamer basket is large enough to steam fish with vegetable. I like using the Cobotmix app when making a recipe. It lists all the ingredients along with weights so you can conveniently use the scale along with which accessories to use making it almost impossible to botch up the recipe. The scale feature is so convenient weighing as many ingredients as you like using the onscreen button to bring it back to zero each time. I paid the extra for the larger screen and glad I did, so easy to read and work. I'm extremely impressed with this product and so glad I have purchased it. I have even given her a name 'Bella'

Many automatic recipes don’t work, come out burnt or uncooked, even if you repeat the step several times. All egg recipes. Scrambled eggs, hollandaise sauce, and all recipes that require steaming.

changeover to the Thermocook 3.0 Pro was seamless as far as operation was concerned…..Indidnt need to read the instruction,!it was intuitive. The scales are fantastic, the accessories are brilliant and it has a larger quantity jug which is a bonus. The screen is the size of a small television and very easy to manoeuvre around and it is a br eze to clean. I could go on and on about this machine and how fantastic it is. My only problem is now my husband has decided he likes to use it for his health shakes and making his bread and other recipes….sharing is caring, right?
I like the fact that it was in my price range and that I can make any thermo recipe in it with the same results as the more expensive versions. I also like the ease of using the dial rather than a screen. Overall I’m delighted with my purchase the only negative is the app as the search capability is not accurate and slow. Show reply
