If you have always wanted a cooking robot but have hesitated because you’re unsure of how it works or whether or not it justifies the price, I’ve done a comparison of cooking robots available in the market for you using Thermomix as a benchmark. If you or your spouse love to cook, you have to take advantage of the offers available now. My first cooking robot is the Tefal Cuisine Companion which I lugged back from Singapore several years ago. So precious it is to accomplish all my adventurous recipes like creamy mushroom soup, pumpkin soup, beef rendang, meat floss, making kaya, peanut butter, lemon curd, chicken liver pate, mooncake, pork/chicken jerkies (bakgua/肉乾) without breaking a sweat from manual stirring/pounding or standing over a hot stove, that I’m looking for another in case something happens to my unit and I have nowhere to send it to service in Malaysia.
The Dessini Cooking Robot at RM549 is great starter if you want one but don’t want to spend thousands on it. Only setback is there is no built-in recipes but if you are a cook, you would have tons of recipe books to refer to already! It has pretty much everything I want from a cooking robot without breaking my bank/wallet/arm/leg…..
What’s more, today only, you can use the 10% discount voucher to get this unit at less than RM500! Only from Lazada!

For the discerning and gadget-conscious cook, the Tokit Omni Cook looks good, has accessible recipes on the interface and a 2-year warranty if you get it from the official store on Lazada only. (Resellers on Shopee only offer 1 year warranty and doesn’t give the free steamer dish). There is an add-on voucher to get a RM700 discount now so at RM3,709 it’s a great deal and half the price of a Thermomix!

As someone who loves to cook, I understand the effort and time that goes into preparing a delicious meal from scratch. However, I also know that sometimes life can get busy, and we don’t always have the luxury of spending hours in the kitchen. That’s where a cooking robot comes in.
With a cooking robot, I can save time by automating many of the tasks that usually require manual effort, such as chopping, dicing, mincing, blending, stewing, and kneading. This means I can spend less time in the kitchen and more time to do other things. I can grind any kind of nuts into powder too!
Not only that, but cooking robots offer a high level of consistency and accuracy, meaning I can replicate recipes more easily and predict the results with greater confidence. I can even multitask with a cooking robot by having it cook and blend simultaneously or knead dough or continuously stir while preparing a stew! Purists will often argue that having a machine like that is cheating, but you still have to have a certain degree of comprehension of cooking to use a machine that can help you save time and effort so what price do you place on quick precision cooking and processing??? Do you still want to sweat over a pestle and mortar???
Cooking robots are also incredibly versatile and offer a wide range of cooking functions, from steaming vegetables to baking bread. I don’t need multiple appliances for different tasks, so I can save space and money. I can prepare healthier meals more easily. By automating tasks such as chopping vegetables and steaming fish, there is nothing much that a cooking robot can’t do. I can even create nutritious meals or stews in advance before I storing in a thermal pot for camping.
If you find it cheaper elsewhere, do check on the warranty period it offers as well as other caveats. Let me know what you will cook with it!
