Where to Turn?

The Beater on the Braun turns counter clockwise while the beater spins clockwise. If the beater would spin the opposite directions the bowl would pull the batter into the beater as it turned into the edge of the bowl, trapping the ingredients in a box canyon. The way it is the beater tends to fling the ingredients beck to the center of the bowl. The dough hook is shaped so the revolution of the bowl does just the opposite and sends the dough directly into the dough hook.

I meant to say earlier the bowl for the Ronson is deep and norrow. Narrow is good, wide is bad.

so pleased about this thread!

hey all,

This is more than I could have hoped to be true. I LOVE the Ronson Corporation.
Thank God someone is willing to picture-proof all those things I had been assuming but had no proof at all about them:
Bosch: Claiming to be the first to have invented the very first swivel-arm kitchen mixer. Wrong! Ronson was first. (I do not know about any more details about this, but the Bosch is fine but not first - to my knowledge).

Vorwerk (a company that deserves to be bashed per se for its fresh, harsh and despicable lies) claiming to be "THE" inventor of the very first cooking blender. First published in France and produced there (models VM 2000 and following, later renamed VM 2001, VM 2002 and 2010), then going over to naming them TM 3000 (second generation with lever-type clamp-down arm) and TM 3300 and as of late: TM 21 and TM 31 Thermomix.
Please folks, get me right: I do LOVE my Thermomix, a fantastic blender with a cooking functionality, but I DO regret it being made by the Vorwerk folks. So top quality meets meanest corporational behaviour.

All Thermomix models were evolved in Wuppertal, Germany -> thus being a remake of the old Ronson Cook-and-Stir, then being produced in France (for cheaper logistics on their first testing market), then being re-introduced in Germany as TM 3300 (when France was already flooded with their TM 2000, 2002, 2010 and 3000 models) in 1978.
Still today these bad witches of "www.wunderkessel.de" (a so-called independent users' forum, my a...) (roughly translates as "miracle kettle.de") keep customers and cooking amateurs out of the field holding up and high the flag of "THE" Thermomix (no questions allowed, no questions asked, critical comments not regarded).
Same thing in Italy and Spain where the (notwithstanding good quality) Thermomix machine is sold as "Bimby".

But the thing that really gives my soul some piece-rewarding back stroke is: Ronson was first and Vorwerk IS a full fake, all their stories are a lie. ;-)
Thank you Ronson for having made a suspicion a true fact, for having given me back my piece of mind. ;-))
Regards, Joe
 
Well Joe,, it's no different really than what Cuisinart is saying about their "innovation". New to them perhaps. 

 

Cuisinart has taken numerous 50's and 60's appliances, such as the GE "flair" toaster oven, the Hamilton Beach pop-up toaster oven, the Salad shooter, the Proctor Silex wedge shaped blender, the West Bend stir-crazy etc , altered them slightly and proffered them up as innovations.  Thing is, anyone under 40 in most cases wouldn't have a clue that they're just copying what has been.

not a native speaker here, so fighting my way through. I hope you can excuse that.

Petek! so true

and as I had heard, the Cuisinart thing had just evolved from some "good-things-gone-awry" brothers' fight between the Robot-Coupe manager (originally from France) when his sales-twin in the US was starting to sell these veritable machines under the "Cuisinart" brand, remaking them with some (long awaited by the public) alterations in some technical details.
Robot-Coupe then "prissy-girl"like having refrained from the American market leaving Cuisinart as the only one there (their CEO Sontheimer dwelling on his "rocket-scientist"*s reputation), later rejoining back in with "Robot-Coupe" first choice of professional chefs and "Magimix" made by Robot-Coupe (which to me is just the same sauce with a different name).

Not being interested at all in all their ("them's") social pushes and shoves, I still do believe that either of them (Cuisinart, Robotcoupe, Magimix) feature great machines. Having tried all of these I would give any of them a try to fulfill what they claim to live up to: Best materials with best service (that is what I have tried, living just 5 mins from the French border, it is true to the utmost extent: Magimix offers a substitue machine in case of emergency, so no stopping your business while repairs are going on). =Ok, this could be different when living somewhere else, I do not know.

Anyway, I am still more than amazed with the freshness and the cold-heartedness of some companies who dare to claim theirs what other humans had done or invented before. This is what I wanted to say.
 
MattL...

...yikes!...the book that came with mine is 6" X 9" and is 47 pages. I have the installation book too, smaller and 19 pages. I think there was also a recipe book. Does your book show the shredder/slicer or the food processor? My unit has the processor which I believe indicates a later model Foodmatic, probably shortly before Ronson pulled the plug on production.
 
My book has the slicer/shredder in it along with the meat grinder, knife sharpener, blender , coffee mill ,ice crusher, cook and stir and deluxe juicer.  The back half of the book is recipes, thumbed through it even had one for avocado soup...
 
on the St George NV Craigslist...

...at a Catholic Thrift Store, $200...ad is dated 9/5 (sorry, I cannot paste URL on AOL)

"This piece dates back to 1970's. This is how the advertisement discribes it: "The one appliance that does the work of dozens...does it better, in less space. It mixes, blends, slices, shreds, grinds meat, grates, sharpens knives, girinds coffee, makes ice cream, juices oranges, crushes ice..it even cooks" "The power control unit closes flush with the counter top when not in use. The contoured storage trays pull out for easy access to any appliance attachment." Everything is built into a metal cabinet on wheels. Motor works great. Location: 93 West First South, Bunkerville, NV 89007. (3 miles from Mesquite, NV) Phone number: 702-346-7065 Sally Store is open Tuesday-Friday 10:00-2:00pm"

I've been watching 3 Foodmatic accessories currently on ebay, the food processor currently at @122.50 (way overpriced,) the cooker with no bids but a minimum $200 and a bid of $200 on the ice cream maker. I sure hope the person realizes you need the cooker in order to use the ice cream attachment. I wonder if that cabinet Foodmatic near Las Vegas is still available? If it's complete then it seems like a good deal.
 
ok, my last Foodmatic addition here

I can't believe this Foodmatic food processor just sold on ebay for a whopping $345.00...work bowl, pusher and blade. The shredding and slicing blades aren't included. Someone must have really wanted this. If a member purchased it...congrats.

PS...that bargain complete Foodmatic cabinet model near Las Vegas was sold to a buyer in New Jersey.
