📋 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.

🧼 6. Cleaning Mode
Add water and a bit of soap, then let the Thermomix do the work. It removes residues from blades and bowl in minutes.
