Soft Heating At Speeds 2 And 3; Varoma Temperature Setting - Vorwerk Thermomix TM5 Instruction Manual

WORKING WITH THE THERMOMIX® TM5

Soft heating at speeds 2 and 3

Speeds 2 and 3 are designed for soft heating. When these speeds are selected,
the temperature will be increased more slowly than at the other speeds.
This allows for the gradual heating of sensitive ingredients (e.g. zabaglione).
Soft start (above 60 °C (140 °F))
If the Turbo mode is activated or the motor is started when the temperature
in the mixing bowl is 60 °C or higher, an electronic system will help prevent
food from escaping by delaying the speed increase. This soft start will only
work if the food has been heated in the Thermomix
temperature sensor correctly gauge the current temperature and trigger the
soft start accordingly. If you want to use the Thermomix
food that has not been heated in the Thermomix
increase the speed slowly and gradually.

Varoma temperature setting

Scalding hazard
• At higher speeds, hot food may splash out or hot liquids may froth up.
Please therefore only use low speeds (
(>60°C or Varoma temperature).
With water, the temperature of the mixing bowl contents cannot exceed
100 °C (212 °F). Higher temperatures can only be reached with high salt
or sugar content or non water-based liquids like oil.
If the Varoma temperature setting 1 is selected, temperatures of up to
120 °C (248 °F) may be reached, depending on what ingredients you are
using, e.g. oil. Please note that the value for the current temperature will
switch to "Varoma" as soon as the mixing bowl has reached a temperature of
100 °C, which is needed for steaming. The colour scale will continue to show
the current mixing bowl temperature (100 °C–120 °C). During 15 minutes at
Varoma temperature setting, 250 g water or water-based liquids evaporate.
The Varoma temperature setting is used for steam cooking (see page 29–32)
and reducing water based liquids. For sautéing ingredients the temperature
setting of 120 °C is recommended. Be aware that 120 °C can only be reached
after most of the water content of the ingredients has evaporated.
