Cleaning your Thermomix: Wooden and silicone accessories instead of disposable

Cleaning your Thermomix: Wooden and silicone accessories instead of disposable

Sound familiar? The Thermomix has once again done a stellar job – soup, dough, sauce – and now it's time to clean. Grab the plastic brush, a piece of aluminum foil as a base, and off into the drawer with what feels like the hundredth freezer bag. Does that ring a bell? Then it's high time to rethink things a little. Because a clean kitchen and less disposable stuff absolutely don't have to be mutually exclusive – quite the opposite. With wooden brushes, a reusable baking liner, and silicone bags, cleaning actually becomes more fun. We'll show you how. ---

Out with the plastic – in with the wood

The simplest first step toward less disposable plastic in the kitchen? Take a closer look at your cleaning utensils. Plastic brushes fray over time, end up in the trash, and leave microplastics behind. A real alternative is the mixcover wooden bottle brush for €7.95. Wooden handle, firmly set bristles – and it looks stylish on your countertop too. Perfect for the Thermomix mixing beaker, attachments, or narrow openings that are otherwise hard to clean.

If you also use a classic dish brush, check out the mixcover replacement head for dish brush made of beech wood – for just €4.95. The clever bit: you only replace the head once it's worn out and keep the handle. That saves waste and money. The replacement head is vegan and made of beech wood. Simply clever.

No more disposable baking paper – for real!

Let's be honest: how often have you used baking paper, folded it, pulled it back out, and then thrown it away anyway? Yet there's a much better solution: the mixcover reusable baking liner – reusable, for €9.95. The liner is suitable for the Varoma, the steaming basket, and the oven, replacing your baking paper sheet by sheet. Simply wipe it down or rinse it briefly, and it's ready to use again.

This not only saves plenty of disposable paper but also money in the long run. If you cook or bake a lot with the Thermomix, you'll have made back that €9.95 in no time. And no more half-used baking paper lying around in the drawer.

The wooden spatula – your new best friend for cooking and cleaning

You know the drill: after cooking, there's still some dough or sauce left in the Thermomix bowl. This is exactly where the mixcover wooden spatula for Thermomix TM7 TM6 TM5 TM31 for €6.95 comes in. It's custom-designed for the mixing bowl, scraping out every last bit – and is made entirely of wood. No plastic part scratching up the mixing bowl.

The spatula isn't just functional, by the way – it also makes a great gift idea for Thermomix fans. If you like, you can even go for one of the engraved versions – for mom or a loved one, for example. But back to cleaning: a clean wooden spatula doesn't just clean the bowl better, it also protects the coating inside the mixing bowl because you don't have to scrub as hard.

Storing without disposable bags: the silicone alternative

Cleaning in a reusable way is good. Storing in a reusable way is the next step. Because what's the point of using a wooden brush and reusable baking liner after cooking, only to reach for disposable freezer bags for the leftovers? That's where two absolute favorites come in:

Option 1: The mixcover reusable silicone storage bag, 1500 ml for €11.95. It's leak-proof, freezer-safe, and can simply be rinsed out or put in the dishwasher. The perfect replacement for Ziploc bags.

Option 2: The mixcover foldable silicone food container for €11.95. It's collapsible, so it takes up hardly any space – ideal for meal prep, lunchboxes, or quickly taking Thermomix leftovers with you on the go.

Both are leak-proof, dishwasher-safe, and can be refilled over and over – instead of used once and tossed.

Your Kitchen Check: How to Get Started

Wondering where to start? Here's a quick overview of which product fits which step:

> 💡 Tip: You don't have to switch everything over at once. Start with one product – for example, the bottle brush – and add more as you go. Small steps, big impact!

Start small – one item at a time

Switching over doesn't mean throwing everything out and starting from scratch. It's about choosing the reusable option next time you need to buy something new. And with the right products, it's really no effort at all.
