SKS Hot Seat: Lynette MacDonald of Thermomix on the 100 Year Old Company and Food Capsules

When you think of Thermomix, you probably think of the future. It is, after all, one device that can do 20 different meal preparation functions like chopping, stirring, and oh yeah, cooking. But here’s a fun fact: Thermomix is actually more than 100 years old (I’m guessing it had a butter churning feature back then?).

Thermomix thrust itself further into the future this year when it announced the new connected TM6 model, which featured a bigger touchscreen display, new cooking functions like sous vide, and guided cooking. The company didn’t stop there. At our Smart Kitchen Summit this past week, Thermomix announced a partnership with Drop to control even more smart appliances and add grocery ordering directly from the TM6.

Since she was showing off Thermomix at SKS this year, we thought it would be fun to put Lynette MacDonald, Culinary Development Manager for Thermomix, in our SKS hot seat to answer a few fun questions about her company and the future of food (spoiler: capsules!).

Check out the video below and be on the lookout for more videos from SKS 2019 to hit The Spoon soon!
