At the top of each recipe you'll see a label indicating whether the recipe is suitable for Thermomix® TM31,Thermomix® TM5, Thermomix® TM6 and/or Thermomix Friend®. You can click on the label to find more information.
Please ensure you choose recipes that are compatible with your Thermomix® device.
When searching for recipes, use the Cookidoo® search filter to select the model or additional device that you are using (TM31, TM5, TM6 or Thermomix Friend®).
Be careful using Thermomix® TM5 or TM6 recipes in a Thermomix® TM31 as the bowl and Varoma are smaller. If recipes are not adapted correctly, it could be dangerous (e.g. hot liquids splashing)
If you come across a Thermomix® TM5 or TM6 recipe that is also compatible with the Thermomix® TM31, please bear in mind the following:
∙ Select Varoma instead of 120°C 120°C is not a valid setting on the Thermomix® TM31, but Varoma will achieve similar results
∙ TM5 and TM6 close their lid automatically Ensure you close the lid of your TM31 manually
∙ TM5 and TM6 set 'reverse' automatically Ensure you set and cancel 'reverse' manually on the Thermomix® TM31 as this is not automatically changed
• Thermomix® TM6 comes with additional cooking features, some of which are available manually from the modes screen (such as Sous-vide, Slow cook, Fermentation), others which are exclusive to TM6 recipes (Higher Temp, Sugar stages)
• These modes are not available on TM5 or TM31. As a result, a TM6 recipe that relies on these modes cannot be prepared on a TM5 or TM31
• TM6 reaches higher temperatures than TM5 and TM31
• TM6 recipes cannot be synced to a TM5
• If you wish to cook manually from Cookidoo® (without relying on Guided Cooking) please refer to the TM version label on the recipe to ensure it is compatible with your Thermomix®.
Thermomix Friend® is designed to be used with Thermomix® TM5 and TM6.
