A Thermomix Review of the new Thermomix TM5

The latest Thermomix, the Thermomix TM5 has been released in Australia in 2014.

So what is all the fuss about (besides the way it was released in ‘stealth’ in Australia).

The Thermomix TM5 has some really cool new features that will help you and the whole family have a great cooking experience and a safer one as well.

Some of these new features inlude:

• ‘Guided Cooking” functions – walking through the whole cooking process (nice).  Just put in the chip on the side, select the recipe you like, and put the ingredients in the bowl. The machine does the rest!
• Highly digital unit
• Quieter than previous models but it is also faster..
• Uses a single selector dial
• The lid locks for safety

So, the machine does not add any extra cooking tool into the mix (so to speak) but it does add an improved digital capability.

It is still an all-in-one kitchen.

• It is very quick and easy to use
• The new digital recipe feature will keep you inspired to try new recipes
• Saves money – don’t need all those other appliances
• High quality construction

The new cooking function (digital recipe) is demonstrated in this video below

A couple of negatives:

• It does not slice (it does chop)
• It does take some experimentation with to get the most out of it. (see our Thermomix Recipes section for ideas)
• It is expensive (nearly $2000 AUD at the time of writing)

Of note in comparison with the earlier TM31m, the TM5 bowl is 2.2L and the top temperature is 120 degrees Celsius. The TM 31 has Varoma temperature of 114 degrees C. The thermomix recipes chip is also available in book form so you can choose either format and you can override what the chip is saying to do so you are still in total control with both models.
