What Is a Smart Cooking System? (The Complete 2025 Guide, UK & Ireland)


Smart ovens. Smart fridges. Smart air fryers. Smart speakers in the kitchen. There’s a lot of “smart” in modern homes — but smart cooking systems stand in a category of their own.


If you’re wondering:

  • What exactly is a smart cooking system?

  • How is it different from other appliances?

  • And why do people rave about the Thermomix TM7?


This guide breaks it down clearly, without jargon, and shows how a genuine smart cooking system can save time, reduce stress and help you eat well — even on life’s busiest days.


Smart Cooking System — Clear Definition


A smart cooking system is an all-in-one appliance that:


Preps, cooks, blends, weighs and stirs in one unit

✅ Uses sensors and automation to control heat, time and speed

✅ Guides you step-by-step through recipes

✅ Provides consistent, repeatable results

✅ Connects to recipes and updates online


In other words: it doesn’t just assist you — it thinks with you.
