Frequently Asked Questions about Multi-Cooker Refurbished

Cookeo or Companion: which to choose for beginners?

The Cookeo is ideal for beginners: simple interface, 200+ step-by-step guided recipes, automatic cooking. The Companion is more versatile (blends, chops, kneads) but requires more skill. For quick cooking without thinking, choose the Cookeo. To replace multiple appliances with more control, go for the Companion.

Can a multi-cooker really replace multiple appliances?

Yes! A multi-cooker like the Cookeo or Companion replaces: pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, and even food processor (for the Companion). You save kitchen space and simplify your cooking. Especially useful in small kitchens or for those short on time.

How long to cook a full meal in a multi-cooker?

With a Cookeo, expect 15-30 minutes for a complete dish (meat + vegetables + starches). Pressure cooking recipes reduce cooking time by 70% compared to traditional methods. You can prepare a beef stew in 30 minutes instead of 3 hours!

Is a refurbished Thermomix worth the price?

The Thermomix is the most expensive but also most complete appliance: it blends, cooks, weighs, emulsifies, kneads, chops... If you cook a lot and want maximum versatility, a refurbished Thermomix at -40% is an excellent deal. For simpler use, a Cookeo or Companion is more than enough.
