Camping Smarter with Thermomix® TM7: Tips from the Road

Camping Smarter with Thermomix® TM7: Tips from the Road

Holidays are about freedom, fun, and food — and with your Thermomix® TM7, campsite cooking becomes easier than ever. Whether you’re caravanning, camping off-grid, or road-tripping with the family, your TM7 lets you prep, pack, and cook meals that feel like home… even when you’re miles from the nearest shop. 

From baking fresh bread in the middle of nowhere to impressing fellow campers with the wafting smells of a curry, here are the best Thermomix® camping tips and recipes to make your next trip deliciously stress-free. 

 

Cook more, stress less 

Campsite cooking doesn’t have to mean basic burgers and soggy sandwiches. With Thermomix® TM7 you can prep barbecue essentials like burger patties, marinades and fresh salads, and keep them fresh in Vac-U-Seal vacuum sealing containers and jars. 

And after a long day on the road or adventuring, nobody wants to juggle pots and pans and stand over a stove. With TM7’s all-in-one recipes, you can relax while your Thermomix® does the work. Curries, risottos, pasta, and soups practically cook themselves in the bowl, or check out the Thermomix® Sensor for perfectly cooked bbq roasts and meats without having to babysit it, leaving you to enjoy the sunset. 

 

Prep, freeze and reheat with ease 

The key to great camping food is smart prep. Cook ahead when you have the time and the power, then freeze your meals so they’re ready to go when you’re looking for a quick dinner or are off-grid 

From batch cook favourites like spaghetti bolognese, chilli con carne or butter chicken that can be gently reheated using TM7 Steam Mode and your Varoma, to easy on-the-road snacks like boiled eggs, bliss balls and savoury muffins, there are thousands of recipes to explore on Cookidoo®.

Fresh comforts in remote places 

One of the joys of travelling with TM7 is never having to miss the comforts of home. Fresh bread, scrolls, and even yoghurt are easy to whip up wherever you are – and you’re likely to save a dollar punch too! 

For kids (and the budget), skip the servo ice creams and whip up Fruity Dream in minutes. And if you’re lucky enough to pass a “pick your own” orchard, turn cherries, berries, or plums into homemade jam – this is the kind of camp treat that makes memories. 

 

Pack light, cook big 

Space is precious in a caravan or camper trailer, but with your TM7 you can replace twenty kitchen appliances in one and save a huge amount of space. That means you don’t need to bring kettles, blenders, food processors, bread makers, or even scales. Just make sure you’ve got somewhere secure to leave your Thermomix® while travelling. 

Smart meal planning helps too: use overlapping ingredients, keep spices in small sachets, and make pantry staples like icing sugar, vegetable stock paste, or rice flour as you go. This way you might pack light, but you're not sacrificing flavour! 

 

Make the most of your power 

If you’re camping off-grid, power management is key. Savvy travellers run their TM7 in the morning or midday to take advantage of solar recharging. Stick to 30-minute meals to conserve energy and choose easy-clean recipes to save on water too. 

And don’t worry about Wi-Fi: you can save Cookidoo® recipes offline in your Collections before you go. Or, if you’ve got Starlink or a hotspot, you can discover new Thermomix® camping meal ideas on the fly. 

 

Bonus: Camping recipes to add to your meal plan 

Camping and caravanning is all about keeping things simple — and with Thermomix® TM7, that doesn’t mean compromising on food. From barbecue classics and frozen favourites to freshly baked bread and campsite cocktails, your TM7 is the ultimate travel companion. 

Pack it, plug it in, and cook like never before — wherever the road takes you.
