What modes are available on the Thermomix TM6?

Just when you thought the Thermomix couldn’t get any better, the Thermomix TM6 has new and improved modes to any previous model. The beauty of having software updated regularly means that new modes are often introduced and quick software will ensure your Thermomix has all the latest modes.

The Thermomix TM6 has a built-in scale, mixing knife, heating element, whisk attachment, measuring cup, and steamer basket. Its 22 cooking functions and techniques range from slow cooking, emulsifying, whisking, chopping, and blending, to caramelizing, kneading, and new features like sous-vide immersion cooking.

Peeler_mode_icon.png Peeler: Use this mode with the Thermomix Blade Cover with Peeler for automatic peeling of vegetables with the TM6. Place the peeler on the mixing knife so that the curves of the peeler match the shape of the mixing knife and make sure that the peeler is properly hooked (the peeler should now sit firmly on the mixing knife and can only be removed with a little resistance) Add 600 g of water and a maximum of 800 g of vegetables (e.g. potatoes) to the mixing bowl For best results, the vegetable pieces should not be larger than the mixing bowl lid opening. For most vegetables, 4 minutes is recommended to remove the peel.
