"We can bring the temperature up to 80 degrees and blend in order to make smooth and thickened sauces which maintain the proteins from the original ingredients," Best explained. Are you sold yet? Unfortunately, you shouldn't expect to just purchase the Thermomix with the click of a mouse. It's only sold by direct sales agents in certain countries, and is not even technically available in the U.S. (McArdle ordered hers from Canada).
