Review: Thermomix TM6

Sometimes when a kitchen classic is updated, a good critic might highlight what's new. Other times, they might champion what made it so great in the first place. With the newest Thermomix, my wife Elisabeth and I just fell for the same parlor trick the does-it-all kitchen appliance has been able to perform for years.

After dropping a fat handful of plum-sized Parmesan knobs into its stainless-steel blender jar, then setting the lid on top, we cranked the speed to 10 and ducked. For two seconds, it made a racket like we'd thrown a rock and a big hunk of glass in there, then it purred so quietly that it sounded like the drive shaft had sheared. I'd been cooking in this thing for weeks, and Elisabeth—who's typically immune to the constant flow of gadgets through our kitchen—had ignored it until now. When we opened the blender jar and peered inside, we found a perfect, fluffy snowdrift of cheese.

"Whoa," she said. "I want one."

Similarly, I was excited to be taking the new Thermomix for a spin. A global phenomenon since the first model was produced in 1971, the Thermomix is only just catching on in the United States. Perhaps that's because it's a tricky-to-explain object, akin to describing to someone what you can do with a computer.

At its simplest, the Thermomix is a blender that cooks. A good example would be butternut squash soup, where you chop onion quarters in the blender jar, sauté them a bit right inside the jar, add squash chunks and broth, let it bubble away until the squash is tender, then spin up the blades and purée it. It all happens in the blender jar, minimizing dirty dishes, and you get a tasty, low-effort homemade soup in less than half an hour. You can also control heat, time, and blade speed manually, via the controls on the six- by three-inch touchscreen and one dial. Recipes can be run right on the screen. Speaking of dirty dishes, every part except the base goes in the dishwasher, something for which I'd trade a thousand “smart kitchen” innovations.

Soup is the tip of the iceberg. In the Thermomix, you can knead bread and pastry dough, steam rice (or anything that fits in there), make beans or chili or pasta sauce, sauté vegetables, caramelize onions without stirring a thing, make yogurt, nut milks, smoothies, stock and stock bases, and whipped cream. There are so many options that a long list like that still feels like it leaves a lot out. Beginners get handholding and the assurance that if they follow directions they'll be able to make good food, and busy folks get what amounts to an extra pair of hands. When I asked a high-end chef how he uses his, he said, "Hydrocolloid work [whatever that is], cream bases, and kneading dough."

Recipes on the machine are designed to keep the ball rolling. You add one ingredient, often pouring it into the blender jar, which—trumpet fanfare!—weighs it, then you tap next and add the following item by weight. If it's a heating or mixing step, it will do things like tee up two minutes of spinning at speed setting five at 225 degrees. You'll soon notice how quickly this moves things along. If you're the kind of person who tries to jam out a week's worth of food on a Sunday afternoon, this is your new best friend.

Realizing that I had enough supplies on hand to make a smoothie, I started there.

Immediately, the magic struck me: The smoothie recipe asked for 10 ounces of water, followed by nine ounces of yogurt, and eight ounces of frozen berries, and you pour these from the tap/container/bag directly into the blender jar, tapping “Next” after each ingredient and taking advantage of the built-in scale. I did the same with a few other ingredients it called for: a few kinds of seeds and nuts, and a banana. After that, I put the lid on and it set a timer that started when I turned the blender speed up to 10. I put away the ingredients while it whizzed away, and a minute and a half later, I enjoyed my liquid breakfast.

I had similar early-day success making hummus, and with just these two recipes under my belt I figured out two of my favorite things about the Thermomix. First, it is a loud advertisement for cooking by weight. For many recipes, you can crowd the ingredients in front of the machine, then just stand there, following the prompts and pouring things in left and right like a mad scientist, bringing dishes together quickly and with a minimum of mess. Second—and this is critical—the in-house recipes offered by Thermomix range from solid to excellent.

Thanks to it being a decades-old brand that has needed to train its customers on how to use its unique machine, then grow along with them, the company has recipes galore—some 50,000 of them in many different languages. Search for “smoothie” in the app and you'll find more than 20 options. The recipes are all tested by folks with good palates, which means that unlike much of the stuff you can find online, they'll be good. This is a constant stumbling block for many manufacturers, particularly those making unique devices.

Connecting the Thermomix to the internet, downloading the app, and logging into the Thermomix website—all part of the goofily named "Cookidoo" platform—is a bit of a chore and a lot to take in, but it's a one-time process and immediately shows off the depth of the bench.

Punch in something you're long on in the fridge or pantry, and it will have ideas for you. Plus, each device you use to access the platform has distinct advantages. Use the laptop to take in lots of options quickly, bookmark something so it's easy to find on all devices, or plan out a week's worth of eating. Pull it up on a phone on your way home to figure out what to grab at the grocery store. When it's go time, fire up the recipe on the machine itself, and encounter exactly zero texts, tweets, or news notifications—something so important when you're trying to cook that it feels like a luxury in the age of distraction. You'll pay $39 a year for access to Thermomix’s recipes, but the more I used it, the more reasonable that $3.25 a month became.

Next, I made bread dough, weighing out the flour by pouring it directly from the King Arthur bag into the mixing bowl, then, one by one, added the yeast, salt, and water. The machine kneaded the dough for two minutes. Everything else—proofing, baking, et cetera—happened on my countertop and in my oven, but if you're new to bread baking, it takes away a lot of the trepidation. Ditto for a nice spinach and pea risotto. The machine chops the spinach, onion, and garlic, then sautés it. When the rice and wine go in and get heated, the low blade in the blender jar keeps anything from sticking to the bottom of the bowl. It's nice to make authentic risotto, where you stand over the stove and constantly stir raw rice until it’s fully cooked, but I'm more likely to eat more risotto if I can hand the task of making it to a robot.

Next, I made potstickers, where ginger, cilantro, and cabbage are chopped in the blender jar. I added ground meat, soy, and sesame, with every step broken down, every ingredient weighed in, and all the mixing done by the machine. Occasionally, you even have the rare feeling of confidently speeding through a recipe that you’re barely familiar with. Cooking potstickers also got me to use the Thermomix’s two-level steamer basket, a giant oval that sits on the blender jar, making the whole thing look like a mushroom in a snowdrift. I wasn't that interested in the steaming capabilities the last time I reviewed a Thermomix but my desire for dumplings overpowered my reluctance.

Side note: There's a whole weird nomenclature thing going on with the Thermomix. Along with the goofy-sounding Cookidoo platform—something only the Swedish Chef could get excited about, her, dee, doo, cook-i-doo —they call the blender jar a “mixing bowl,” and both the steamer basket and the steamer setting are called “Varoma.” It's confusing, but you get used to it.

I was happy to learn that you can fit a surprisingly large amount of food into the two levels of the steaming basket. That's a big deal; many countertop kitchen appliances are unable to cook for more than about 1.5 people at a time, making them a nonstarter in my book. (I'm looking at you , air fryers.)

My favorite example of this multi-layered cooking was a simple rice salad with eggs and canned tuna. For it, you weigh water into the blender jar, and just above that, weigh rice into what they call a “simmering basket.” Above that, on the lower shelf of the steamer go two eggs, and on the top shelf, you layer veggies, putting tougher carrots below and tender zucchini, and frozen peas on top of them. Everything cooks in layers at the same time. In 21 short minutes, the rice steams, the eggs are hard boiled, the veggies emerge tender. It makes a ton of food in a short amount of time.

A pleasing upgrade over its impressive predecessor, the latest Thermomix is both one of the best and most useful kitchen appliances out there. Tying together computers, phones, and its own on-machine interface with tons of tested recipes, it's still the smartest of the smart kitchen. There are a lot of pointless, hopeless connected kitchen products that get in the way of getting dinner on the table, but the Thermomix is built to help you cook well and do it quickly.

Returning to this kitchen classic was a joy and a reminder of what a helpful tool—connected or not—the Thermomix is. One afternoon, on what would become the fifth rainiest day on record in Seattle, I shook off the blues by making chicken garam marsala, chicken noodle soup, a basic marinara, and butternut squash soup, blasting through each one, and making several days’ worth of food, in about two and a half hours.

I do have some quibbles. I understand that some things will need to be measured out in teaspoons, but I wish more of the smaller amounts would be weigh-able, too. I also hope we soon see more in-recipe scalability—the half and double batches that take advantage of the machine's size.

The big sticking point for almost everyone thinking about a Thermomix is the price. It's $1,500. It's worth it, though, even if you have to scrimp and save. (For those of you who are thinking of the much-cheaper Instant Pot Ace , another blender that cooks, let that thought go. While both share some basic functionality, it's like comparing a Yugo to a Tesla.) It's a commitment, but you'll own it for years, during which time you will make an incredible amount of good food.

More trepidation—for me at least—is what's scheduled to come down the pike this year: software updates that will add new features to your TM6. First will be the ability to, in the words of the company’s press release, "convert any recipe on the internet into a Thermomix recipe." This reads a bit like, after 50 impressive years of showing us around the world, our intrepid tour guides stumbled onto the gates of hell, where they peeked inside then turned to us and said, "Hey, this looks interesting!"

On a related note, why not allow Thermomix-approved cookbooks to be put up for purchase on the platform, similar to the way you can buy independent Instant Pot cookbooks?

Additional worries come with the company’s plans to turn the Thermomix into something of a smart kitchen hub that can connect to and control other smart devices in your kitchen. I have yet to see a worthy dedicated kitchen hub, especially when you could use a tablet you already own. Or nothing.

At least if those two big upcoming changes are flaming flops, you can choose not to use them.

Finally, the company has also said it will let customers order groceries directly on the TM6’s touchscreen. While I'm sure team Thermomix will enjoy its commission on your grocery spending, you'll be fine without this.

All that said, this is one of the most powerful devices you can put in your kitchen. As long as you have a desire to cook and can see how helpful that the robotic equivalent of your own personal sous chef could be, everyone, from a first-time rice maker to a high-end chef doing whatever they do with hydrocolloids, will find a way to put the TM6 to use for years to come.

The Varoma Dish is designed to sit on top of the TM6 for even heating and steaming of your ingredients. Featuring a two-tier fully-sealed tray and lid, it enables multi-level cooking, allowing you to create entire steam-cooked meals, enhancing your culinary experience with delightful dishes at your disposal.

The splash guard prevents spills and splatters, ensuring a clean cooking area while using functions like High Heat mode.

The Mixing Bowl is the center piece of the Thermomix. Boasting a 2.1L capacity, it is ideal for preparing wholesome homemade meals to serve your family. The Mixing Bowl includes the stainless steel bowl with handle, bowl base, mixing knife and its sealing ring, bowl lid, and measuring cup.

The Thermomix® Spatula is perfectly shaped to fit between the blades and the wall of the mixing bowl. A smart design and multiple uses make this an essential component of the Thermomix TM6®. The hook is crucial for effortlessly (and securely) extracting the simmering basket from the mixing bowl. The safe guard prevents the spatula from coming into contact with the blades during mixing and keeps it from touching the countertop when placed down.

The Thermomix® butterfly whisk is perfect for preparing sauces and mousses, whipping egg whites and cream, mashed potatoes, or for making your homemade butter. Note, that the butterfly can only be used up to speed 4.

Here is a quick look at the seasons so you can decide when to visit Moscow!

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

when to visit moscow

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Facts: 14 lines Opening hours: 5 a.m-1 a.m. Rush hour(s): 8-10 a.m, 4-8 p.m. Single ride: 55₽ (about 85 cents) Wi-Fi network-wide

Buying Tickets

  • Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
  • You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
  • There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
  • Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
  • If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
  • You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
  • You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring,  Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya.  Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

thermomix travel bag tm6

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya.  This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

thermomix travel bag tm6

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war.   The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

thermomix travel bag tm6

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station,  and change onto the 3/Blue  line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya.   Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

thermomix travel bag tm6

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

thermomix travel bag tm6

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

thermomix travel bag tm6

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

thermomix travel bag tm6

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar.  One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

thermomix travel bag tm6

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

thermomix travel bag tm6

Jump back on the 3/Blue line  in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.
