Called the Monsieur Cuisine Smart, this exciting kitchen appliance arrives in stores tomorrow, Thursday, September 4.
It is a multi-functional device that can be used for everything you need, from food processing, cooking, searing, steaming, kneading, blending, and stirring.
There are even programming options available for it to chop, shred, grind, puree or emulsify ingredients.
You can make anything from soups, sauces, or vegetable, meat and noodle dishes.
Smart features
The smart device has WiFi functions that provide free monthly recipe updates with a registered user account, along with over 600 pre-installed recipes with step-by-step instructions through its cooking pilot.
For a helping hand in the kitchen there’s also guided video cooking for recipes, which can be played on its fancy display screen.
It also has a voice control feature which can be activated through Google Assistant.
The savvy device has a built in kitchen scale as well as 1000W of power.
All the accessories are dishwasher safe, including the 4.5L stainless steel blender jug and various attachments that include a steamer, blade, and mixer.
The product was previously exclusively available for Lidl Plus customers to reserve last month.
Now, all customers can purchase the Monsieur Cuisine once it is available in-store.
It retails for £399 without a Lidl Plus membership so its definitely worth making an account to save an extra £100.
It’s completely free to join.
Lidl’s version of the Thermomix comes with many of the functionalities of the original at a much more affordable price.
The original will set you back a hefty £1,349.

Here’s how to cut the cost of your grocery shop
SAVING on your shop can make a big difference to your wallet. Here are some tips from Money.co.uk about how you can cut the cost of your shopping bills:
- Write yourself a list – Only buy items that you need. If it isn’t on your list, don’t put it in the trolley
- Create a budget – Work out a weekly budget for your food shopping
- Never shop hungry – you are far more likely to buy more food if your tummy is rumbling
- Don’t buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit – The extra they’ll charge for chopping can be eye watering
- Use social media – follow your favourite retailers to find out about the latest deals
- Be disloyal – You may want to go to different stores to find the best bargains
- Check the small print – It’s always worth checking the price per kg/lb/litre when comparing offers so you’re making a like for like decision as a bigger box won’t necessarily mean you get more
- Use your loyalty cards – Don’t be afraid to sign up to them all. They all work slightly differently – work out what bonus suits you better and remember to trade in your points for additional rewards
