Introduction
Want restaurant-level flavour without splatter or extra pans? Thermomix’s Browning / High Temperature capability develops deep, caramelised flavour for sauces, stews, stir-fries and more—fast.
Below, we distil the 7 key facts from Cookidoo®, then give you linked collections and recipes to try tonight (TM7/TM6 compatible where shown).
Quick-Look: 7 Facts You Should Know
Fact | What it means for you | Pro tip | Learn more |
1) High Temp is for big flavour | Browning, sautéing and caramelising at >120°C build colour, aroma and umami | Start flavour with Browning, then continue the recipe normally | |
2) How to use it safely | TM6: High Temp steps run inside Guided Cooking for safety | Follow on-screen prompts exactly | |
3) Why it tastes better | Searing ingredients first transforms sauces, stews, rice and pasta | Brown onions first for richer soups | |
4) What you can cook | From caramelised onions to seared steak, prawns and more | Use “Basics” recipes to build your own dishes | |
5) Tips for success | Use exact quantities; pat meat dry; clean with Pre-clean → Browning | Deglaze fond with a splash of liquid | |
6) Combine modes | Brown first, then Slow Cook for tender meats; brown onions then soup | Saves oil yet boosts flavour | |
7) Don’t miss the collections | Curated High Temp collections get you cooking straight away | Start with “Cooking with High Temp.” |
TM7 owners: Browning is a core mode on TM7 (the successor to TM6 “High Temperature”), and you’ll still see device compatibility on each recipe page. TM6 owners continue to use High Temp inside Guided Cooking.
