Know the superpowers — and the sensible limits — so you can use TM7 where it shines and lean on other tools when that’s smarter.
What TM7 does brilliantly
Chop, blend, mill, emulsify: from silky soups to spice blends and mayo that won’t split.
Knead & whip: doughs in minutes; whipped cream/meringue with the Butterfly.
Cook with precision: sauté, simmer, reduce and hold exact temperatures while stirring for you.
Steam & stack: cook sauce in the bowl, rice in the basket, veg/fish in the Varoma — dinner finishes together.
Slow cook & sous-vide: low-and-slow comfort food and precise doneness without hovering.
Guided cooking: step-by-step Cookidoo® recipes keep results consistent and stress low.
Self-clean assist: Pre-Clean loosens residue; most parts are dishwasher-friendly.
Where you’ll still use other kit
No pressure cooking: it doesn’t seal to cook under pressure.
No air-fry/deep-fry/crisp roast: it’s not an oven or air fryer; use hob/oven for dry-heat crisping.
Baking happens in the oven: TM7 preps doughs and batters; the bake itself is oven territory.
Capacity realities: bowl suits everyday family cooking; very large batches may need multiple rounds or a stockpot.
Slicing/julienne: you’ll use a cutter accessory or a mandoline/processor if you need uniform slices or shreds in volume.
How to play to its strengths
Use TM7 for anything wet-heat, stirred, or temperature-sensitive (custards, sauces, risotto).
Stack meals to save energy and time: bowl (sauce) + basket (carbs) + Varoma (veg/protein).
Finish in the oven or pan when you want browned, crispy textures.
The happy middle ground
Many UK/IE kitchens pair TM7 with:
an oven/air fryer (for crisp finishes), and/or
a pressure cooker (for very fast braises/beans).TM7 then handles everything from prep to sauces, doughs, soups, sides and weekly batch-prep.
