They don’t call it ‘smart kitchen technology’ for nothing. Updates and advancements with your Thermomix are constantly underway in Germany and Switzerland, where the incredible Thermomix are made.

Thermomix gets smarter with each update, adding features designed to bring you the latest technology available and we are beyond thrilled to share these brand new TM5 functionalities with you! This TM5 software update has begun rolling out, so keep an eye out and, once prompted, simply complete your latest software update (update 2.9) using a Cook-Key to access them. The software update is being gradually rolled out worldwide and may take a few weeks to reach every connected TM5.

Haven’t got a Cook-Key?

If you haven’t yet got your Cook-Key for your TM5, then now is the time! Using Wi-Fi connection and plugging in straight to your Thermomix, the Cook-Key wirelessly connects right here to Cookidoo, bringing all these wonderful recipes straight onto your TM5 and unlocking access to new updates, just like this one.

Now, let’s get familiar with three more reasons to love your TM5 – all of which are coming soon!

Cleaning your bowl just got easier

From your next software update (update 2.9), your TM5 will be complete with the incredible Pre-Cleaning Mode. This new Pre-Cleaning Mode, with the same fast-acting functions as the TM6, regulates the pre-clean in line with the dirtiness of your bowl and the stubbornness (or not stubbornness!) of whatever you’ve been cooking in it. Thermomix uses smart technology to sense how dirty the bowl is and then heats it accordingly to dissolve even the toughest ingredients. Yessssss!! Simply add 1000g of water and a drop of washing liquid or 50g vinegar and Thermomix will do the rest.

Your favourite mode at your fingertips

We all have our favourite mode or simply the one we use the most. Well, now you can select it as your LongPress Favourite. This new feature allows you to create a shortcut link to your favourite mode that can be accessed by simply ‘long-pressing’ the mode button, saving you that little extra time.

Lock and leave your Thermomix.

How many of us have had sticky little fingers ‘helping’ when we mightn’t necessarily want them to? This new One-Touch Instant Lock allows you to lock the screen either when you’re not using your Thermomix or while it’s busily cooking away for longer periods. It works just like your smartphone in that you’ll be asked to select a PIN when you first set up the mode and that same PIN will be needed before any other functions can be selected. Just for that added extra peace of mind.

The TM5 software update has begun rolling out and will be coming to every TM5 with a Cook-Key soon, so have your Cook-Key ready and be sure to complete the update when prompted.
