🧑‍🍳 Make the most of your Thermomix: How to Create, Scale, and Import Recipes on Cookidoo Guide

Q: Can I scale any recipe on Cookidoo?

No. Only recipes marked with the 'scalable' symbol have been tested for safe and reliable scaling. Always check before adjusting ingredients.

Q: Why are some recipes not scalable?

Certain recipes involve delicate processes, like caramelizing sugar or kneading dough, where scaling could impact texture, flavor, or safety.

Q: How do I know if a serving size has been tested?

Cookidoo® displays tested serving sizes in the recipe settings. If a size isn't available to choose, it has not been officially tested.

Q: What should I do if my imported recipe doesn't work perfectly?

Start by testing in small batches. Adjust liquid levels, mixing times, and temperatures based on Thermomix guidelines for best results.

Q: Can I share my imported recipes with others?

Currently, imported recipes are private by default. You can share them manually if you want, but they will not appear in the global Cookidoo database.
