Cleaning tips

1. Daily auto cleaning

For easy cleaning after each use of your Thermomix, pour some water in the bowl, add a few drops of cleansing agent and press the turbo button several times.

2. Auto cleaning with egg shells

To remove, for example, leftover dough glued on the walls of the bowl, follow the same procedure as the No. 1, by adding an egg shell.

3. Anti-limestone treatment

Depending on the region where you live, the water may contain more or less limestone. As with any other machine that is in contact with water, (coffee maker, washing machine, and dishwasher), limestone can leave whitish spots. To remove them, simply cover the traces of limestone with white wine vinegar and let stand until dissolution of the spots. Flush your bowl with clear water to remove all traces of vinegar.

Steaming hints

1. Place the ingredients in the Varoma according to their cooking time: for example: vegetables in the Varoma receptacle and fish on the Varoma tray. The vegetables will be evenly cooked if you cut them into similar-sized pieces.

2. To avoid your ingredients to stick in the Varoma tray, you can lightly oil the surface or prepare some Papillote.

3. You can turn the Varoma lid upside down, place the Varoma on it to collect the condensation water and also use it as a tray to serve food directly from the Varoma.

Progressive start-up

To avoid splashes of hot ingredients out of the bowl when cooking the purée, the Thermomix engineers have invented a progressive start-up (TM21 and TM31). As soon as the temperature sensor identifies that the ingredients in the bowl reach a temperature of 60 ° C, the acceleration of the knife is automatically delayed.

Warning: If you pour in the bowl hot ingredients which have not been cooked in the Thermomix, this security function does not apply, except if you wait for the display panel to indicate the residual temperature 60 ° C (TM31 only).

Vegetables and fruits

In summer we all desire fresh and raw food. Quit your routine of grated carrots, discover the variety of raw vegetables and innovate!

A suggestion for a homogeneous result: cut the ingredients in the same size and add salt, pepper, herbs and oil and then mix 4-6 sec /speed 5 (TM21: 10-20 sec /speed 3). Use the spatula for larger amounts and do not hesitate to remix all if you want finer and less crisp vegetables.
