Title: Purchasing 2nd Jug and Thermoservers??
Post by: jessiesgirl on August 17, 2009, 11:29:50 pm
I am about to have my demo and I am curious as to whether I can purchase another jug and thermoserver (or 2) through my demonstrator?

Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks so much. :)

OK brazen, now that you have joined the secret society, what ways can you get a second bowl? 

Is it cheaper to get one at the time of buying TMX, is there any discount?  There was a promo at some stage.

So I've been told you can't purchase a thermoserver, or is it you can only purchase an extra one if you are having a demo?

Just to clarify for everyone....You can't JUST purchase a Thermoserver, even consultants can't purchase one.

If you hold a demo and purchase a machine (or purchase a machine and hold a delivery demo) you will get one free, if you hold an additional demo (lovely loyal customers!!) and a machine is sold, you can purchase a Thermoserver for $30.00 or a Thermomat for $40.00. A postage fee of $9.00 applies unless you are lucky enough to live in Perth :)

If you host a demo and decide not to purchase (or no one purchases) you can buy a Thermoserver or Thermomat same as above.

Clear as mud??  :-))

Hope it helps, this is pretty much the basic info out of the training manual

LOL - but why would you be confuzzled???   I was told I would get a free one, but then had to pay $40 when I finally held my delivery demo - you never seem to get the same answer.

Exactly!  Well my delivery demo is this Saturday and I should be getting 2 free as I bought in July as per promo.  Will see what happens!

Narelle, as long as you have 3 people / households at your demo and your bought in July, you should DEFINITELY get your two servers

Correct!

So - if anyone wants an additional Thermoserver, call your consultant, arrange to hold another demonstration and make sure you have 3 NEW households at your demo that haven't seen a Thermomix Demo before.  As long as you have 3 NEW households there you are entitled then to purchase a Thermoserver as per faffa's posts.

If you would like a second bowl and lid set - you can purchase these at any time. Occassionally there will be a promo month where discounts are offered to hosts etc. But I've only seen this once, and consultants are only made aware of these at the start of the month of which the promo begins.

Hope that helps  ;D ???

thanks everyone. I will definitely organise another demo later on for the thermoserver and save now for another jug. I reckon I'll probably end up with three jugs :o :o I totally love this kitchen appliance.

How much are the second jugs? Round about?
Title: Re: Purchasing 2nd Jug and Thermoservers??
Post by: I Love Bimby! on September 16, 2009, 06:57:49 am
Hi Sim. They're $395 plus fright (about $9)

Oh, that's not so bad, I was expecting more to be honest... BUT.. I have only had my TM for less than a week, so I might have to wait just a little longer I think! I was making chocolate self-saucing pudding before work today (my work mates were demanding it, along with real home-made custard), and I found a recipe where several bowls would have been great! I ended up just settling for the single bowl recipe. It was really yum, it had real dark chocolate in it (I can post the recipe in desserts if anyone wants it).

I have my demo tomorrow, and I receive the free thermoserver, only I have no idea what it is... lol

It's usually just a matter of working through the steps first in the recipe to best work with one bowl (ie grate dry ingredients first before mixing, do anything cold before you apply heat etc.)

BUT 2 bowls are VERY handy!!Now just for the second tmx  ;)

The Thermoserver is very handy. Your consultant will expalin at your demo (if not - ask!) but basically it's an insulated bowl so will keep food warm for up to 2 hours. Also great for popping your sorbet in if serving it straight away or popping it in the fridge.

Oh, that would be handy! I could have used that last night. Awesome, now I am excited about my thermoserver!

I have been rearranging recipes so I can use the same jug generally, but this recipe just had too much going on for me! I just couldn't be bothered at 6.30 in the morning haha!

Usually you can get by with one bowl - just involves more careful planning.

What exactly IS this Thermomixer I see so often mentioned (and Thermomat, come to think of it)?  We don't have these in the Uk as far as I am aware.  Could someone put a couple of photos on the forum to clarify please (a picture paints a thousand words). Thanks lots.
Title: Re: Purchasing 2nd Jug and Thermoservers??
Post by: faffa_70 on October 28, 2009, 02:46:30 pm
LOL Thermomixer is our esteemed member leader ;) ;) I think you must mean thermoserver and thermomat.

The Thermoserver is a stainless steel bowl that will keep your food warm or hot for up to two hours and is probably on available in Australia I think as I do know that Grace owns the patent for it.

The Thermomat is a silicone baking mat that has been Thermomix branded.

Hope this helps.  I am hoping that someone else may put up some pics for you as I am once again reduced to dial up speed and it would take most of the night  :o :-))

Thansk for the enlightenment. And yes, I did make a mistake with Thermomixer - should have been Thermoserver (yet another brain-f**t!) Had a look at the 'server and must say I liked the look of it; maybe I'll try to persuade Thermomix UK to market them this end. And good news about rebranding silicone mats - I'm now going to rebrand my old banger as a Ferrari.  Keep 'mixing.

If you have Indian food shops nearby then they will have a similar item - they use them for tiffins.

Some examples will be found by searching for insulated food containers http://www.clickonstore.net/insulated-food-containers-servers-gift-p-1002.html (http://www.clickonstore.net/insulated-food-containers-servers-gift-p-1002.html)

Thanks Thermomixer, I'll get online this evening and search for these locally.
