33Working with the Thermomix®
Varoma temperature setting
If the Varoma temperature setting
3
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 waterbased liquids evaporate. The Varoma temperature
setting is used for steam cooking (see page 22–26) and reducing water based
liquids. For sautéing ingredients the temperature setting of 120 °C is recom-
mended. Be aware that 120 °C can only be reached after most of the water
content of the ingredients has evaporated.
Speed dial
Tap on the speed dial and turn the selector to start the Thermomix
®
.
The following speeds are available:
Gentle stir setting
The gentle stir setting
4
can be selected using the speed dial. At this setting,
the food is stirred slowly in the same way as if you periodically stirred some
food in a saucepan. If this setting is selected, the food is not chopped and
large chunks remain.
Stirring
Use the lower speeds 1–3 for gentle stirring. This lower speed range is ideally
suited for delicious stews.
CAUTION
Never heat up the mixing bowl when it is empty.
