Second-hand TM6 strange noise

Hello,

We just bought this second hand TM6 and are wondering if the sound is normal.

We have two bowls, one seems new and they make the same noise. When manually rotating it, it makes no sound.

Thanks for your help.

First day with the TM7

I had been on the fence for a while as to whether or not we would get the use out of it to warrant the price once the initial excitement had worn off.

But we pulled the trigger, and agreed we are only 8 hours or so in, but we are both super impressed. Did the usual making veg stock once it arrived, followed by a banana bread (our toddler loved helping out) and dinner tonight was a honey and mustard chicken with rice and veg. Both banana bread and the chicken were close to 10/10.

We will get used to the timings a bit more but 20+ mins cooking the chicken and then similar to steam the rice and veg meant dinner was a little later than anticipated, but so far loving it and we are both here scrolling to see what we can cook tomorrow.

My wife is not the keenest of cooks and this has really got her reinvigorated with all the possibilities. So that is worth the price in itself!

Any recipes you can all recommend would be much appreciated!?

Rainbow Cake

For Pride weekend here in the Bay Area, I attempted the Rainbow Cake from Cookidoo, paired with some homemade lemon ice cream.

If you're planning to tackle it, I recommend having plenty of small bowls and spatulas on hand to manage all the different colors. Having multiple 8-inch cake pans (thankfully I have three) also helps speed up the baking process.

One tip for anyone trying this: The recipe's estimated breakdown left me short on batter for the final two layers (I didn't have enough to hit the 9 oz mark for those last colors). Next time, I'd recommend weighing the total batch of batter first and dividing it equally into 6 parts, rather than strictly aiming for the 9 oz per layer the recipe suggests.

Overall, it was a lot of work, but worth the effort!

TM6 pour un cuisinier niveau intermédiaire : "Cheat code" ou gadget qui empêche de progresser ?

Salut à tous,

Je suis un cuisinier niveau amateur-moyen et je regarde de près le Thermomix TM6. Mon objectif est clair : je veux sortir des plats de niveau "restaurant" chez moi, sans y passer des heures et sans avoir à maîtriser des techniques de chef ultra-complexes.

  • Qu'est-ce qu'il peut vraiment faire passer mes plats au niveau supérieur qui justifie l'investissement ?
  • Si oui que fait il comme un professionnel de cuisine ?
  • À l'inverse, y a-t-il des plats où le résultat est pas fou malgré la machine ?

Why is no one using Thermomix in the USA?

I’m German and moved to the US a year ago. While all of my European friends know the Thermomix, and those who have one love it, none of my US friends have even heard of it or own a similar product.

If you are American and have a Thermomix can you help me understand it?

TM31, error 52 (connectivity of mixing bowl to base) - this is the end?

Hi, we've had a TM31 for many years and now get error 52 every time the lid is attached. This means that the bowl isn't connecting to the base.

Everything is clean and dry so it's a fundamental issue. I found a Youtube video where a guy tested the five connection points at the bottom of the bowl with a multimeter, and I'm getting massively high resistance (ie virtually no connectivity) where I should get a small amount of resistance - so something has blown I guess. I can't see how to open things up, and I don't have enough skill to fix anyway especially when it's mains voltage.

Vorwerk don't sell replacement bowls now in the UK. They do in some other countries but the cost would be high and barely less than buying a second hand unit. Maybe a reasonably priced bowl appears on eBay now and again but other than this I think I'd just have to sell as is (maybe someone out there has a couple of bowls)?

Given how old it is I can't complain I guess, but it's still annoying!

Cooking for in-laws!

Please help! The in-laws are coming tomorrow for dinner and I am pickled on what to cook for them. They prefer "standard American" food, so anything spicy is out, probably most Asian cuisines as well as anything unique/gourmet.

Just got a TM5 and loving it, are there any tried and true, maybe even a bit boring, recipes you'd recommend? Thank you in advance!

Thermomix US Support is not listening about a software bug.

I found a software bug. I have seen it work exactly the same way on three separate TM7 machines.

You can see one of the three videos I sent them here

Did they listen to me and test it on one of their machines? No.

They just keep asking me to do things on my end. No, I will not reset my machine yet again.

Anyone here care to do some quality testing for them so I can show them it's not just me and my friend's machine that has this software bug? Heck, even better if more people send them the same bug through their support system.

Ensure your machine (TM7, but I'm curious if it's a multi-model bug) is set to imperial units (ounces) then add 16.8 oz of water and when you get to 16.9, it should jump to 18.9 and then back to 17 when you add more.

I'm not sure if there are other jumps along the way or at even higher volumes, but I know I've seen this happen on three separate machines now for 16.9 (18.9) ounce scale measurement.

Thanks for your time!

Should I get one? Is it good for vegan/vegetarians?

I’m thinking of getting my first Thermomix. I do a lot of meal prep for 4 adults; 3 vegans and one flexitarian. I am an experienced cook but I’m not passionate about cooking and am kinda sick of it. I’m looking for easier ways to get meals made. The Thermomix seems like it does a lot of work for you but I’ve seen some reviews saying you still have to do all of the chopping and prep work. Is that true? I thought it chopped veggies for you. Any vegans/vegetarians here who find it useful?

Worth it for me?

I’m interested in getting a TM7.

I can cook to a reasonable level but since getting Covid 4 years ago my energy levels have been rock bottom (along with my mental health) and so by the end of the day my enthusiasm to cook is zero.

Accordingly I tend to cook simple meat based things (often sandwiches) that aren’t too healthy or just get a takeaway which definitely isn’t healthy!

I’ve put a lot of weight on over the past few years and need to improve my diet as a key part of battling that weight gain. Is the Thermomix easy enough to use that it will mean I can cook healthier meals with virtually no effort or does it involve a reasonable bit of work from me?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
