I pitted the TM5, Thermomix's latest incarnation, against the Monsieur Cuisine in a series of challenges specifically designed to compare the two appliances.
Grinding spices
Thermomix: 5/5
Monsieur Cuisine: 1/5
The first challenge was to grind down nutmeg. Sounds simple, but nutmeg is one of the hardest spices around, so this would really test the blade capability in both machines.
I put a few nutmeg seeds (from the same pack) into the respective machines and in under a minute, the TM5 had produced a fine, evenly ground nutmeg powder.
The Monsieur Cuisine's product, however, was more grainy and uneven and also seemed slightly damp.

Grinding meat
Thermomix: 3/5
Monsieur Cuisine: 2.5/5
I placed 350g of feather blade steak into each machine and in under 20 seconds, both gave me mince. I was not a fan of the consistency of the mince achieved in both, which was slightly mushy,
ray bans real or fake pictures, almost paste-like.
It would be fine for burgers and meatballs,
mens ray bans wayfarer, but I wasn't so sure about making Bolognese with it.
Also, it has to be mentioned that the TM5 did a slightly better job at this as there were still one or two slightly larger chunks in the Monsieur Cuisine and the tendon and sinew were not quite cut up in it.

Mayonnaise
Thermomix: 5/5
Monsieur Cuisine: 3/5
Making mayonnaise in the TM5 was a straightforward task. I used the Recipe Chip provided (a magnetic, electronic chip that gives step-by-step instructions on the touch screen),
ray ban wayfarer honey, and within 10 minutes, had creamy, delicious mayo.
The Monsieur Cuisine took me two attempts to get right. The first try, using the recipe from their complimentary cookbook,
ray ban glasses types, failed (the oil and egg yolk did not emulsify) and I ended up with a runny, vinegary mess in the blending jug that also leaked out unto the base.
Not to be defeated, I tried again with the Monsieur Cuisine, using the recipe from the Thermomix cookbook, and voila... mayonnaise.
Despite using the exact same recipe,

Butter
Thermomix: 3.5/5
Monsieur Cuisine: 5/5
This was the perfect test for the whisk attachments that accompany both the Thermomix and Monsieur Cuisine.
They are slightly different by design and I was interested to see if this would make a significant difference in the end product.
The butter made with the TM5 was delicious, but was slightly more crumbly, more similar in texture to cheese than butter.
However,
ray ban wayfarers look good on everyone, the butter churned in the Monsieur Cuisine came out creamier, smoother and softer. A clear win for the Monsieur Cuisine here.

Mash
Thermomix: 2.5/5
Monsieur Cuisine: 2.5/5
Both made very similar,
ray ban aviators small 52mm, gluey mash, with some residual small lumps in them. This wasn't really a surprise as both machines use a blending motion to puree the potato.
This releases copious amounts of starch into the mixture,
ray ban glasses wholesale price, inevitably resulting in that glue-like concoction. Fine, if you don't mind it that way, but not great if you prefer your potato mash to be light and fluffy. I,personally, will stick to manually pushing it through a ricer.
Winner: Tie

Pizza dough
Thermomix: 4/5
MonsieurCuisine: 4/5
The Thermomix comes with a 'dough' function that removes the need to knead any dough mixtures by hand. This is something that the Monsieur Cuisine lacks and I was interested to see if it did indeed make a difference.
As was now the norm, using the TM5 was super simple and fuss free,
jackie ohh ii ray ban price, especially with the help of the ingenious Recipe Chip. In the Monsieur Cuisine,
oculos ray ban espelhado preco, it was more complicated.
I had to weigh in all the ingredients on a separate scale (the Thermomix has a built in scale which makes a noticeable difference when washing up).
I also found that I had to scrape down the sides manually a few more times with the spatula and fiddle with the controls to make sure that the dough was mixed thoroughly as the Monsieur Cuisine lacks the ‘dough’ function.
Having said that,

Shortcrust pastry
Thermomix: 4.5/5
Monsieur Cuisine: 4/5
I had never made a tart case before,
ray ban glasses frames sale, so was slightly nervous about this challenge. But one thing I've discovered is that the Thermomix is perfect for these first-time attempts as the recipes provided work well with very little hassle and anxiety.
Once again, the process was much simpler with the TM5 compared to the Monsieur Cuisine.
As for the end product, both pastries turned out to be absolutely lovely.
Although I preferred the one made in the Thermomix, the difference was almost imperceptible and only, I believe, down to a difference in recipe (I used ones given in the respective cookbooks provided) and nothing to do with the machine's work capabilities.
