To those of us who have a Thermomix robot we like to know all the mysteries and advantages that this practical kitchen machine can offer us. Any tips or tricks are welcome and will always get you working on your best best principles.
Any tip and trick For its usefulness, it will always be the best option to give a good performance to the equipment. Use many of the tricks that we add below to give our robot more life.
Care to extend the life of our Thermomix
Act quickly. monitor our robot for certain unforeseen events that can damage both the machine itself and any accompanying structure. For this we will read some of these tips:
- Always place your Thermomix in a strategic place where they can not be damaged, slip or damage the surface of some furniture with steam.
- Never place it on a glass-ceramic surface in case it could be accidentally turned on and damage the robot.
- Si you don't want to damage the surface of a piece of furniture when you are cooking, you can divert the steam to one side. To do this we will use the lid of the varoma and place it on the handle of the machine. We will place it on edge and in a strategic way so that it diverts the steam towards the side that we want to handle it.
- to break the eggs never do it on the rim of the glass. It is better to use the cup and thus make sure that a possible shell has not come off, or that the egg is in poor condition.
Basic tips and tricks when you are cooking
- When we are adding food to the glass, do not introduce those that are much larger than the size of the mouth, it is much better that they are of equal or smaller size.
- The mouth is used to introduce liquids or food when it is cooking. It is not recommended to put knives, spoons or spatulas. It is only allowed to introduce the approved spatula.
- When we use the butterfly we have to be careful. Foods of a great hardness and that can damage or block the utensil cannot be inserted. Do not exceed speed 4 either, as it could break.
- The lid can have several functions. If we place it on a round container or bowl with the glass placed, we can separate the whites from the yolks without any problem.
- If we remove the glass from the lid, we can also use it as a funnel in any container when we are going to pour some liquid and that it does not spill over the sides.
- Be careful to raise the glass when we are cooking, since there is a danger that we will burn our hands or face with the steam. The best option is to lift the lid to the opposite side of where we are.
- The glass has markings to indicate the capacity, for example, 1 liter and 2 liters. Do not exceed the maximum amount of its filling beyond the highest mark.
- When removing food with the spatula, collect them counterclockwise. This way the blades will not damage the spatula or scratch it.
- When we use the blade cover, we must not exceed speed 1, nor exceed 98°.
- Do not unplug the machine without using the shutdown function, or unplug the machine when it is in the process of shutting down.
Tips to take care of scale
- Do not drag the machine from one place to another. You have to try to lift it and then place it in the chosen place and gently. If it is done abruptly, the legs and the scale can be damaged.
- When you're cooking, you don't have to shake the spoon or any accessory on the rim of the glass, in order to release the food from these. These small (or moderately strong) bumps can damage and unbalance the scale.
- For the scale to be weighing properly, it must be observed that the machine is not stepping on the cable below, doing so could distort the proportions.
How to properly wash the glass
We must be thankful that our machine uses a cleaning saver. With its functions and its glass, it gets much less dirty, since fewer functions are used and it is also very easy to clean.
- The glass can be clean perfectly by hand and in the dishwasher. You have to take good care of properly drying the lower part of the glass, where the connections are.
- If you have to leave the glass to soak there is no problem, but you should not exceed its time. Having the glass submerged in water for a long time can damage or rust the blades and their surface.
- There is a pre-wash function. For Thermomix TM6 you can program the Prewash function or the shredding function for 10 seconds. For the Thermomix TM% and TM31, you can program 2 minutes at 40° at speed 4, or program 10 seconds at progressive speed 8-9-10. If it is not enough, you can wash the glass with the help of a wire cloth, using it gently.
- We must not forget that we must know very well each element of the glass both when mounting and dismounting. The pieces have to fit perfectly to make sure that no liquid comes out when cooking.
