Термомикс ТМ7 in 30 minutes: 10 everyday tasks with real timings

Thermomix TM7 is useful not only for festive recipes but also for everyday small tasks that take time. In this article, we show 10 quick operations that take a total of around 30 minutes. Each task includes brief steps, indicative timings and tips. At the end, there is a calculation of the time saved and a link to request a demonstration.

How we measured

• Home kitchen conditions. Standard household electrical supply.
• Quantities for 2 to 4 servings.
• Timers are approximate. Actual times vary depending on the ingredients.

10 quick timed tasks

1. Finely chopping onions or carrots — 00:30 to 01:00 min

Clean and cut into large chunks. Blend for 5 seconds at speed 5. Scrape down the sides. Add another 3 seconds if needed. You’ll get a uniform texture for sautéing or as a base for a sauce.

Time saved compared to cutting by hand: about 5 to 6 minutes.

2. Cream soup — 15 to 18 min

Задуши зеленчуците, добави вода или бульон, готви до омекване. Пасирай на висока скорост 30 секунди до 1 минута за кадифен резултат.

Съвет: остави капачката леко отворена при пасиране на горещи смеси, за да излиза парата през мерителната чашка според указанията.

3. Steamed rice — 18 to 22 min

Rinse the rice. Place it in the basket or in the Varoma® according to the recipe. Cook it by steaming. It can be cooked in parallel while preparing soup or sauce in the bowl.

4. Pizza or bread-roll dough — 2 min kneading plus 30 min proofing.

Add the ingredients and select the kneading mode. You’ll have smooth dough in minutes. Let it rise separately. Shape and bake.

5. Smoothie for 2 glasses — 00:45 sec

Fruit, liquid, ice if desired. Blend until smooth. The result is a uniform, lump-free consistency.

6. Mayonnaise — 2 to 3 min

Place an egg, mustard, lemon and salt. Add the oil in a thin stream as directed until it emulsifies. The result is a stable sauce.

7. Chopping nuts or chocolate — 00:10 to 00:20 sec

Pulse briefly at high speed. Stop in time to avoid turning it into a paste. Ideal for toppings and decorations.

8. Steamed potatoes for salad — 16 to 20 min

Cut into even cubes. Steam until tender. The advantage is that they don’t overcook and the pieces stay intact.

9. Steamed chicken with garnish — 20 to 25 min

Seasoned chicken on one level in the Varoma®. Soup or sauce can cook in the bowl simultaneously. The result is a light main dish with parallel preparation.

10. Bowl cleaning — 2 to 5 min

Pour in warm water and a drop of detergent. Run a short cleaning cycle. If needed, use an additional cleaning tablet as directed.

How much time is saved weekly

• Onions for sautéing — 00:45 sec versus about 6 min manually. Time saved: about 5 min.
• Smoothie — 00:45 sec versus about 4 min. Time saved: about 3 min.
• Dough — 2 min versus about 12 min kneading. Time saved: about 10 min.
• Steamed potatoes — 16 to 20 min while doing something else. The saving is in parallel work, often 10 to 15 min.

Over a week, these small operations amount to approximately 60 to 90 minutes less time spent in the kitchen. The actual value depends on the menu and cooking frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How noisy is the appliance

The noise level depends on the speed and the ingredients. It’s louder at high speeds and with harder products. During normal operation, the noise is comparable to that of a blender.
