We put our Recipe Development and Mix Shop teams to the task of testing a whole stack of countertop prep stations. Too many were too big and took up too much room, or too small and flimsy. Some were just plain ugly. Our winner has a solid and sleek stainless steel outer tray, with six generously sized food-safe, fridge-safe and stain-resistant containers. And with a clear flip-up lid making ingredients easily visible and accessible.

It’s our fave new Thermomix® meal prep go-to when we’re planning for a busy work week ahead. Great for getting all the food prepped and popped in the fridge the night before, so you can get straight into the cooking and have dinner on the table double-quick. Ideal for filling with ready-to-grab healthy fridge snacks too, like cherry tomatoes, grapes, berries and ready-to-peel boiled eggs.

It’s one clever party food container that can keep a whole crowd happy too, especially when everyone’s got their own ideas about what tops the perfect pizza, or what goes into the best burger, taco or salad. Just put your Thermomix® and Thermomix® Cutter to work on all the ingredients, fill the Prep Station countertop food prep station, and let them add what they want and leave what they don’t.

Oh, and more than just the coolest countertop food prep station, it’s the best-looking cocktail station to hold your ice, lemon slices and garnishes when you’re Thermomixing cocktails.
