VAROMA temperature setting
If the Varoma temperature setting is selected
temperatures of more than 100°C (212°F) may be
reached depending on what ingredients you are
using. During 15 minutes at Varoma temperature
setting 250 g water or water-based liquids evaporate.
This temperature setting is used for steam cooking
(see page 21 ff.) and sautéing ingredients.
Speed selector
Turn the speed selector to start the Thermomix
TM 31. The following speeds are available:
Designation Speed level Revolution/min.
Gentle stir 40
Stirring 1–3 100–500
Mixing/
blending 4–10 1,100–10,200
Turbo mixing Turbo 10,200
Gentle stir setting
The gentle stir setting can be selected using
the speed selector. At this setting, the food is stirred
slowly in the same way as if you periodically stirred
some food in a sauce-pan. If this setting is selected,
the food is not chopped and large chunks remain.
Stirring
Use the lower speeds 1–3 for gentle mild stirring.
This lower speed range is ideally suited for delicious
stews!
Mixing/blending
Use the speed range from 4 to 10 for coarse,
fine and very fine chopping, mixing and blending.
Always be sure to put the speed selector slowly to
its desired position with the measuring cup inserted.
This will prevent the food to be chopped from
escaping.
