💨 Steaming Mode on the TM7: More Control, More Capacity, Better Results
Thermomix has always excelled at steaming—but the TM7 has taken it to a whole new level. With a smarter Steaming Mode, a redesigned Varoma, an upgraded simmering basket, and customisable setup options, healthy cooking has never been more intuitive or efficient.
🔍 What’s New About Steaming Mode?
The TM7’s new Steaming Mode offers:
More precise temperature control
Improved steam consistency
Better integration with the Varoma and simmering basket
Manual setup selection for steaming configuration
Now, you can switch between different steaming setups depending on what you're cooking:
Simmering basket only
Varoma without tray
Varoma with tray
All components together
This gives you the flexibility to cook your way—whether it’s a quick batch of veg or a full three-tiered meal.
🍱 New Varoma = 45% More Cooking Capacity
Though the outer dimensions remain the same, the redesigned Varoma now offers 45% more usable space thanks to improved internal airflow and tray positioning. That means:
More dumplings
Larger portions of veg or fish
Easier batch cooking for families or meal prep
🍚 Upgraded Simmering Basket = Better Cooking
The TM7’s simmering basket has been strengthened for better performance and stability. Users are reporting noticeably improved rice results—fluffier texture, less sticking, and more even cooking. Small tweak, big impact.
🥗 What You Can Steam
Fish and seafood – delicately cooked and flaky
Vegetables – vibrant, tender, and nutrient-rich
Stuffed vegetables – cooked through without collapse
Dumplings and bao buns – perfectly steamed, not soggy
Puddings, cakes, and sponges – moist and light
Reheated meals – gently warmed without drying out
💡 Steaming Tips
Layer wisely – firmest foods go at the bottom, softest on top
Don’t block steam vents – keep airflow open for even cooking
Line with baking paper or silicone mats for delicate dishes
Steam over flavourful liquids (like broth or wine) to infuse taste
Why It Matters
The TM7 doesn’t just improve steaming—it elevates it. With more space, stronger tools, and customisable steaming setups, you get greater flexibility and better results with less guesswork.
Whether you're prepping family dinners, cooking low-fat meals, or simply want to nail perfect rice—Steaming Mode on the TM7 has your back.
