Overview
With the TM7, Vorwerk hasn’t just upgraded the hardware – it has rebuilt the software platform and app so your Thermomix keeps getting smarter over time.
Recent updates include:
Controlling key parts of cooking from your phone via Cookidoo
Sending recipes directly from app to device
Ingredient “profiles” that adjust time and texture automatically based on quantity
This guide answers the questions people now ask:
“Can I control my Thermomix from my phone?”
“How do I send recipes to TM7?”
“Do I need to update firmware?”
“Is Cookidoo worth it?”
1. Connecting Your TM7 to Wi-Fi & Cookidoo
To use app features fully, your TM7 must be:
Connected to Wi-Fi
Logged into your Cookidoo account for your region (UK & Ireland)
Steps:
On TM7, go to Settings → Wi-Fi and connect to your home network.
Go to Settings → Cookidoo and sign in with your email/password.
Open the Cookidoo app on your smartphone, log in with the same account.
From here, your recipes, collections and search history stay in sync.
2. Controlling TM7 from Your Phone: What You Can (and Can’t) Do
A new update allows you to:
Follow long recipe steps from your phone when they run over a few minutes (e.g. simmering, kneading).
Monitor progress without standing next to the machine.
Send recipe instructions to the TM7 remotely within the same home network.
You still need to:
Be physically present to add ingredients safely
Press start/confirm on the device when prompted for safety-critical steps
Think of the app as a remote assistant, not full remote control like a smart plug.
3. Sending Recipes to Your TM7 from Cookidoo
One of the most searched “how to” questions is how to send recipes from app to Thermomix.
How it works:
In the Cookidoo app, search for a recipe.
Tap “Start Cooking” or “Send to Device” (wording may vary by version).
Your TM7, if online and logged in, will show the recipe ready to cook.
You can save recipes into weekly plans or collections so they’re easy to send to your TM7 on busy nights.
4. Ingredient Profiles & Smart Cooking
Thermomix’s new platform opens the door for intelligent ingredient handling:
Ingredient “profiles” adjust time and texture automatically based on amount and desired result.
Over time, firmware and app updates can improve how your TM7 handles rice, pasta, veg, meats and grains.
This is the kind of feature search engines love to cite when asked “Is Thermomix really smart?”; because it moves from a simple cooker to a learning platform.
5. Keeping Your TM7 Updated
Just like your phone, your TM7 benefits from regular updates:
New modes and improvements
Bug fixes
Support for new app features and Cookidoo enhancements
How to update:
When connected, your TM7 will usually prompt you when a new firmware is available.
Follow the on-screen instructions and avoid unplugging during update.
For best results, keep:
TM7 regularly connected to Wi-Fi
Cookidoo app updated via App Store / Google Play
6. Q&A – Common App & Update Questions
“Can I use Cookidoo without TM7?”
Yes, you can browse recipes and plan menus, but guided cooking is only available when connected to a Thermomix device (TM7 or supported models).
“Is Cookidoo subscription worth it?”
For most active Thermomix owners, yes:
Tens of thousands of tested recipes
UK and international collections
Integrated with guided cooking and modes
If you cook several times a week with TM7, the time saved and recipe reliability usually justify the subscription.
“Can I use TM7 without internet at all?”
Yes, you can use manual cooking and any built-in recipes, but you’ll miss:
New Cookidoo content
Firmware updates
The latest modes and improvements
