Slightly off topic but if you're looking for pots then I'd look around at the op shops for pressure cookers. They are usually built to a very high standard because of the danger of them exploding. Pressure cooking is out of fashion, and they take up a lot of cupboard space, so they tend to be fairly easy to come across. So you'll pay loose change for a big pot that'll last forever.
I wouldn't be buying anything that's likely to explode if faulty, from an op shop. Sure a safari suit and platform shoes, but a pressure cooker hmmmm
well considering cast iron can last 100+ years, seems a waste don't you think?
Replacing the incompetence every so often.
Bugman told me I was doing the dishes wrong just after we moved in together (Almost 7 years ago). I haven't done them since. Just don't let your wife do the dishes. I'm sure she won't be upset.

I‘m still traumatised by the time one of them exploded when I was a kid (well, the valve did, the frame was fine). Very very loud at close range and the entire kitchen, including the 12-foot ceiling and me, was finely covered in the mist of dinner.

Yes. I'd be very wary of any op shop offering a free pressure cooker with every safari suit. On the other hand, offering a free safari suit with every pressure cooker would well be worth considering.

Does anyone have one of these Thermomix gadgets and are they sufficiently cracked up?
Yeah. My Mrs bought one a few months ago. You can do a fair bit with it.
Are they a pain to clean? Would you say it makes things a lot easier than pots, pans and ovens?
I've found that it is very easy to clean but I honestly don't use it as I don't know how. It is a bit like a high-tech blender that can either cook or chill that has an inbuilt scale that allows you to add ingredients without using measuring cups etc. It is definitely a "one-pot" device and is quite convenient. You can make pretty much anything in it.

Are they worth the $2,000,000 price tag though?
If your wife needs a lift in the swagger stakes, thermomix can help, cheaper to get a kitchenaid though. But it does a lot less.
I've seen somwone making soup with one of those Thermomix machines and the person using it said it was the best kitchen device ever. It did look pretty impressive. The soup was nice. And quick.

Thermomix Australia won a Shonky Award today.
Apparently for bringing out a new improved thermomix without advertising it. Odd.
