Cooking has never been so easy!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

While visiting my family in Spain, I came across this wonder
of technology for the kitchen. It has 12 different functions and
therefore allows you to get rid of of 12 different kitchen artefacts,
it can cook 3 different meals at the same time and I witnessed how
a 3 course meal could be cooked in about 25 minutes. Ah, it also
costs and arm and a leg (approx 1000 Euro or about $AUD 2000+).

I took the photos with my point and shoot instant camera and
made this composition, which I believe tells the story, but I leave
this to your own judgement.

Hi Zafra - you can get the Thermomix here in Australia (one of my friends is one of the resellers or whatever you call them). There are also a couple "copies" which aren't as good apparently but are much cheaper (the Bellini Intelli Kitchen Master and ThermoChef Natura).

A somewhat useful but outrageously overpriced gadget that is sold by door to door demo, like the Kirby vacuum cleaner.

Visit their website, you won't find a price, but if you enquire you will be signed up for a demo which will turn into a high pressure sales interview. Not saying the product isn't good, just that I question their sales methods. The rest of the world has moved on from 1950.

If the product is good, then it will succeed on it's merits.

That was exactly my thoughts.

Sales by consultant demonstration? Tell 'em they're dreamin'.
