TM7 Open Cooking Mode

🍳 Open Cooking Mode on the TM7: Gentle Cooking, No Blades, No Lid

With the TM7, Thermomix introduces a completely new way to cook: Open Cooking Mode. It’s the first time you can use your Thermomix without the lid—a feature that opens up a world of possibilities for more delicate dishes and chef-style techniques.

🔓 What Is Open Cooking Mode?

Open Cooking Mode allows you to cook without the lid on, without the blades turning, and at temperatures of up to 100°C.

This gentle, controlled heat makes it perfect for:

• Poaching delicate proteins like eggs or fish

• Simmering meatballs or dumplings without breaking them apart

• Reducing sauces and stocks slowly, just like on the hob

It’s a subtle shift, but it gives you the ability to treat your Thermomix like an open-top saucepan—while still benefiting from the precision and safety of the TM7.

🥘 What Can You Cook in Open Cooking Mode?

• Perfect poached eggs – in water or with aromatics for flavour

• Fish fillets – gently cooked in stock or infused oils

• Meatballs and dumplings – no spinning blades to break them apart

• Reduced sauces – like red wine reductions or velvety gravies

• Delicate infusions – warm oils with herbs, or gentle tea syrup bases

• Warm desserts – like sabayon or chocolate sauce without overheating

This mode is all about finesse—bringing new levels of control and confidence to your cooking.

💡 Tips for Cooking with the Lid Off

• Use the simmering basket or splash guard as a safety shield to reduce splashing

• Keep an eye on liquid levels when reducing—evaporation is faster with no lid

• Use Open Cooking Mode when you want texture to remain intact—like whole meatballs or fish that shouldn’t be stirred

Why It Matters

Open Cooking Mode bridges the gap between traditional cooking and Thermomix precision. It's perfect for when you want to see, smell, and interact with your food as it cooks—without constant stirring or a sealed environment.

This mode transforms your Thermomix into a gentle hob with a brain, giving you a whole new layer of creativity.

Final Thoughts

With Browning, Steaming, and Open Cooking now in the TM7’s arsenal, Thermomix isn’t just keeping up—it’s leading the way in smart, chef-level home cooking.

These new modes give you more control, more capacity, and more creativity than ever before—whether you’re searing onions, steaming bao, or poaching the perfect egg.

And with even more innovations hinted at by the new pin connector and internal updates, the TM7 is truly built for what’s next.
