The Salad Dodgers started as five mates at the local abattoirs with a shared passion for cooking low and slow, and today the legacy is carried on by the core trio of Mitch, Justin, and Jess. They compete with support from Andrews Meats Toowoomba and Sunpork Fresh Foods, and their motto says it all: "You don't make friends with salad!" We'll be sharing more of their story throughout the year.

Question…. How do you do it?

Cool in the tin? Remove straight away? Cool for a bit and then transfer to cooling rack?

I have an iPhone so not 💯 sure if Samsung and other phones are the same… maybe let me know how, in the comments, if you have a different phone.

Here are 5 reasons a second Thermomix® bowl can save you time and money.

1️⃣ Cook two things

Instead of washing the bowl between steps, you can have one bowl for cooking and one for prep.

Example:

• Lasagna - béchamel while the meat sauce stays hot in the other insulated bowl.
• Soup cooking in one bowl
• Salad dressing or dip in the second

This cuts dinner prep time significantly

2️⃣ No waiting for the bowl to cool

Some recipes require the bowl to cool before the next step (like whipping cream or egg whites).

With a second bowl, you can keep cooking immediately instead of waiting.

3️⃣ Save on washing up

Instead of constantly stopping to wash and dry the bowl between recipes, you simply swap bowls.

That means less time cleaning and more time cooking.

4️⃣ Prep ahead for busy nights

You can prepare ingredients in advance and leave them in the second bowl ready to cook.

Example:
• Curry base prepared earlier
• Drop the bowl in and cook when you get home

This helps avoid last-minute takeaway spending.

5️⃣ Perfect for entertaining or batch cooking

If you’re making multiple dishes like:

• dip
• soup
• dessert

a second bowl lets you move quickly between recipes, which saves time and reduces the temptation to buy pre-made foods.

A second Thermomix® bowl isn’t just convenient — it helps you cook faster, reduce washing up, and avoid takeaway when life gets busy.
