🔓 Unlocking the Power of Thermomix TM7’s Cooking Modes and Functions

The Thermomix TM7 is designed to be an all-in-one culinary assistant. With over 20 built-in cooking modes, it offers unmatched flexibility and precision, replacing many traditional appliances in one sleek, smart machine.
📋 List of Thermomix TM7 Cooking Modes and What They Do
Here is a breakdown of each mode available on the TM7, with use cases and benefits:
🍳 1. Open Cooking
A brand-new mode that gives you complete control. Stir, season, and taste as you cook. Ideal for traditional recipes that require flexibility and intuition.
🛠️ 2. Manual Mode
Customise speed, temperature, and duration freely. Great for experienced users who want to replicate family recipes or test new ideas.
⚖️ 3. Weighing Mode
Accurate to the gram. The TM7 allows real-time weighing of ingredients as you cook; no need for a separate scale.
🌀 4. Mixing Mode
Chop, stir, or emulsify ingredients with precision and ease. Use this for making sauces, marinades, or dressings.
🚀 5. Turbo Mode
Need power? Turbo delivers a short burst of high-speed blending; perfect for pulverising hard ingredients like nuts or chocolate.
🍞 6. Kneading Mode
Specially designed for doughs—bread, pizza, pasta, or brioche. The TM7 mimics hand-kneading for consistent, fluffy results.
🔥 7. Cooking Mode
A smart heating system gradually raises the temperature to cook evenly without burning. Ideal for sauces, risottos, or curries.
🌫️ 8. Steaming Mode (Varoma)
Use the redesigned Varoma attachment for gentle, nutrient-retaining steam cooking. You can cook vegetables, fish, rice, and even dumplings.
🧊 9. Sous-vide Mode
Cook vacuum-sealed foods in water baths at low, controlled temperatures. Produces tender meats and precise textures, just like top chefs do.
🧫 10. Fermentation Mode
Make yogurt, proof bread, or ferment vegetables. The TM7 holds steady temperatures over long durations; perfect for cultivating beneficial bacteria.
🐢 11. Slow Cook Mode
Ideal for stews, pulled meats, or casseroles. This low-and-slow mode enhances flavour and texture.
🥚 12. Egg Boiler Mode
Soft, medium, or hard, just add eggs and water. The TM7 automates timing for perfect eggs every time.
🍚 13. Rice Cooker Mode
This function removes the guesswork. Whether you’re cooking basmati or brown rice, the TM7 ensures it’s fluffy and perfectly cooked.
🍮 14. Thickening Mode
For puddings, custards, and sauces that need to set without lumps. The TM7 stirs and heats evenly for smooth consistency.
🥤 15. Blender Mode
Turn fresh fruit into smoothies or nuts into creamy butters. With high-speed blending, the results are ultra-smooth.
🔁 16. Warm-Up Mode
Perfect for reheating leftovers like soup or baby food without overheating or drying out the dish.
🧼 17. Cleaning Mode
Add water and a bit of soap, then let the Thermomix do the work. It removes residues from blades and bowl in under a minute.
☕ 18. Kettle Mode
Boil water to specific temperatures (e.g., 80°C for green tea or 100°C for pasta). Useful for brewing and prepping ingredients.
🥔 19. Peeler Mode (optional accessory required)
Peels potatoes and root vegetables effortlessly using the blade cover and peeler insert.
🧀 20. Grating/Slicing Mode (with Thermomix Cutter)
Create perfectly even slices or shreds for salads, stir-fries, or gratins.
🍯 21. High Temperature Cooking Mode (guided recipes only)
Available on selected recipes via guided cooking (Cookidoo). Allows caramelisation and browning that’s not possible in other modes.
💡 Why These Modes Matter
Each mode saves time, improves consistency, and reduces the number of tools needed in your kitchen. The TM7 doesn’t just replace appliances: it replaces uncertainty.
