Pantry Staples from Scratch

There are many ingredients that can easily be made from scratch, so you don't need to buy them ready-made. Making your own means you know exactly what's going into your food, giving you control over the ingredients you use and how you make them.

Opt for whole ingredients

Store ingredients in their whole form – Thermomix® can grind them as and when needed. For example, keep granulated sugar in your cupboard and grind it into icing sugar as needed. You can make your own flour mixtures from whole grains and use whole spices, grinding them just before use for fresh flavour.

Homemade dry goods

Make it your own

Making pantry staples from scratch allows you to personalise recipes. Fill your pantry, fridge and freezer with homemade ingredients, and with a little imagination, you'll have the beginnings of some delicious, creative meals.

5 reasons to make your own ingredients

  1. Know what goes into your food: When you make ingredients from scratch, you can choose exactly what goes into them and how they are prepared. You can also preserve fruit and vegetables when they are in season for use at another time.
  2. For different tastes and diets: Adjust the sugar, salt and other ingredients to suit your preferences, dietary requirements and allergies. You can also make ingredients that may be difficult to find or more expensive to buy, such as gluten-free alternatives.
  3. Easy: Controlled temperatures and the many Thermomix® functions – chopping, grinding, blending, kneading and more – make it easy to prepare your own ingredients.
  4. Make your ingredients go further: With a few basic ingredients, you can prepare a variety of homemade staples. Buying ingredients in larger quantities can be a convenient option, while seasonal ingredients can provide inspiration throughout the year.
  5. Make the most of what you have: Reuse suitable jars, bottles and other containers to store your homemade ingredients and keep your kitchen organised.
