Thermomix functions explained

Swipe across your Thermomix screen to see all your modes. 

The TM6 has lots of extra functions that older models don’t have. They keep adding more – most of the functions have been added since it was launched in 2019 (they get added when you have a software update message).

You’ll find further explanations for each mode by touching its information icon on your Thermomix.

Thermomix modes
Pre-clean

The smart, connected TM6 cleans itself so you can save time washing up with our pre-clean mode! With various cleaning settings to get even the most stubborn stuck-on food, you’ll discover why this is the home appliance you need.

Blender

The food blender mode is your super-powered food processor, blender and juicer. TM6 blends your ingredients quickly and smoothly, making it the perfect smoothie maker, food mixer, soup blender and much more!

Dough mode

This mode imitates hand kneading, perfect for your beautiful loaves.

Scales

Egg boiler mode

Hard boiled or soft boiled? Regardless of your preference, you can choose your desired cookingpoint and boil eggs to perfection with our egg boiling mode.

 
Fermentation

From fermenting vegetables to making yoghurt, dough, and cheese, you can turn your TM6 into a food fermentation machine with the fermentation mode. Embrace all the good-gut health!

Rice cooker

This is the only function I don’t like – I prefer the ‘old fashioned’ way of making rice – with the simmering basket. Just search for ‘boiled rice’ on cookidoo. Or here is the link straight to the recipe.

Warm up mode

Warm up your leftovers to your ideal temperature – no need for microwaves or stovetop cooking, your TM6 will reheat meal-prepped dishes and leftovers with ease.

Slow cooker

Slow cooker mode allows up to 8 hours of cooking, allowing you to create heart-warming curries and stews. Simply set and forget and your Thermomix®will do all the hard work, saving you time and energy in the kitchen.

Sous-vide

Use your Thermomix® vacuum sealer bags and TM6 to create the ultimate sous-vide machine and create juicy, intensely flavoured dishes by cooking your food at precise temperatures. 

Thickening

Prepare silky smooth sauces and dressings without curdling with the thickening mode, which guaranteesperfect consistency. Perfect for béchamel sauce, hollandaise or lemon curd.

 
Kettle mode

The kettle mode is great for heating water to your desired temperature. Perfect for your favourite cup of tea, many of my customers use it when away camping or on a boat. 

High heat & sugar stages

From sautéing meats to caramelising onions, you can cook complex dishes with ease using the high heat function. Sugar stages is used for things like honeycomb.

The high heat and sugar stages is only available with Guided Cooking (you can’t set it yourself).

Turbo

The turbo mode chops solid food into even-sized pieces without puréeing them. Recommended for hard ingredients such as cheese and chocolate. I also use this for breadcrumbs when I need to make a crust.

Peeler, grating, slicing, sensor

These modes are used when using extra accessories.
