TM7 Gather Ingredients Feature: Why Every Cook Will Love It - Feature 3 July 30th 2026

TM7 Gather Ingredients Feature Explained

Update: Software Update 1.5 is Now Available

I originally expected TM7 Software Update 1.5 to begin rolling out on 23rd July, but the release was delayed and didn't arrive as planned.

The good news is that the update is now officially available from 30th July 2026.

If you visited this article before the update arrived, apologies for the confusion. I've updated the information throughout to reflect the new release date.

Make sure your TM7 is connected to Wi-Fi and check for the latest software update to start exploring the new features.

The Gather Ingredients feature is another useful addition in Thermomix TM7 Software Update 1.5.

Instead of jumping straight into Guided Cooking, the TM7 now lets you prepare your ingredients before you begin.

How does Gather Ingredients work?

Simply scroll to the bottom of the ingredient list and select Gather Ingredients.

The TM7 creates an interactive checklist showing every ingredient required for your recipe.

As you collect each ingredient, you simply tick it off.

Benefits of preparing ingredients first

Professional chefs call this mise en place.

It means having everything prepared before cooking starts.

The benefits include:

• Faster cooking

• Fewer mistakes

• Less stress

• Better organisation

• No forgotten ingredients

This makes Guided Cooking even easier to follow.

Who will benefit most?

The feature is ideal for:

• Busy families

• New Thermomix users

• Batch cooking

• Baking

• Dinner parties

Once you've used it, it's difficult to imagine cooking without it.
