12 kitchen functions of the Thermomix cooking machine, an entry-level operation guide
1: The first step is to receive the goods!
The main pot is locked in transport mode, so to remove the main pot, you need to turn on the phone and unlock it!
Just press the knob on the side to turn it on! Just press and hold to turn off the phone!
The main pot is also very convenient to take down, just lift it up!
Two: Boil the pot
In fact, it means washing the pot. If there is no white vinegar, I think you can add water to boil.
Then use 10 seconds speed 10, wash Just hit the pot and that’s it!
Three: The most basic operations
Time, temperature, speed!
Click on any circle. After the circle becomes larger, turn the knob on the side to adjust the selected value!
The speed must be high, or if it cannot be started and the speed is the lowest, it can be regarded as the start button!
Four: Summary Tips
Tip: 3 minutes of hot oil, temperature V, reverse, speed small spoon; green leafy vegetables: 4 minutes temperature V reverse, speed small spoon (For lighter vegetables such as grass and lettuce, use speed 1); Root vegetables: 10 minutes at temperature V, reverse, speed 1/2 spoon. Add plus minus half a minute.
After heating the oil, set the time, temperature and speed to reverse, then add ingredients from the hole in the measuring cup.
Steaming things: The main pot must contain no less than 500g of hot liquid, the temperature must be Varoma, and the speed must be 1, so that there is enough water steam to steam things.
Xiaomei’s speed: small spoon to 4 is for stir-frying, stirring, and mixing; 5-7 is for chopping, and 8-10 is for grinding. Reverse, speed 5-6, can achieve the effect of hand tearing.
Reverse key: This is to ensure that the ingredients in the main pot are not broken and chopped as they are.
To flip the spoon is to reverse it. Adjust the speed spoon to speed 2.5 and time 2 seconds.
PS: Important reminder, all the tips are explained in front of the original recipe, please read the book carefully at least 3 times!
PS2: After washing the main pot and placing it on the main unit, make sure there is no water in the five metal contacts below. In other words, wipe it clean! Remember, remember!
Five: General process of washing vegetables
1: Washing meat and vegetables
Generally, it can be washed for 5 minutes, temperature 50 degrees, and speed 5 , you can wash the meat very clean and retain the nutrients! Everyone must use Xiaomei to wash it. After washing it once, you will never touch the meat that has not been washed by Xiaomei!
2: For fruits, most fruits can be cooked using the above method. Some of the more tender ones can be cooked in a slightly shorter time. Or click the picture to wash it!
3: Just wash it and rinse it again!
Six: General process of cooking
1: Hot oil until fragrant (add oil, garlic, onions, etc.)
3 minutes, temperature V, Reverse, speed spoon starts
2: Add ingredients and seasonings
The time depends on the ingredients, temperature V, reverse, speed spoon starts
Ingredients The cooking time is generally 3-4 minutes for green leafy vegetables, 5-6 minutes for cauliflower, about 10 minutes for stems, and about 20 minutes for meat. (The specific recipes will be explained in detail. If you can’t find it, just ask me. . Here is just an explanation of the cooking process! In fact, it’s not much different from cooking in a regular pot!
PS: You can regard the temperature of 100 degrees as a slow fire. For example, when I cook braised pork, I will cook it at 100 degrees for 40 minutes, and then the skin will be very tender!
Think of the temperature V as a high fire, which can collect the juice (remove the lid of the cup). V can be used for general cooking
PS2: Temperature V is the English VAROMA with the temperature turned to the maximum! Just remove the lid to collect the juice!
PS3: Basically use the reverse key when cooking. Just click the reverse icon in the lower right corner without damaging the ingredients!
PS4: Please use a butterfly stick for dishes that are too tender! (Such as tofu, fried tofu, fish)
Seven: Wash the pot
After cooking, add water to the hot pot until the water passes through the knife tip!
Simple and crude type, use 10 seconds and speed 10 to wash the pot.
Gentle and elegant, wash pots in 30 seconds at speed 6.
Under normal circumstances, you don’t need dish soap!
Just rinse it with water after automatic cleaning!
Eight: Application scenarios of butterfly wands
1: Stir-fry very tender vegetables when cooking, such as making tofu! Remember to add inversion
2: When cooking glutinous rice balls and dumplings (actually the same as the previous one)! Remember to add inversion
3: Beat egg whites and light cream
Due to different temperatures and egg maturity, or different brands of light cream, the beating time cannot be unified. Generally, I It is recommended to beat egg whites. For 4 egg whites, try 2:30 speed 3.5 first, and add 10 to 20 seconds depending on the status! If the whipping cream is 250G, try 1:00 speed 3.5 first! Depending on the status, time will slowly increase! A little difficult!
PS: Please make sure there is no water or oil in the mixing bowl when adding hair.
I usually use a small spoon at temperature V and speed for 3 minutes, remove the lid of the measuring cup and let it boil, then shake off the water at speed 10 for 10 seconds, and finally wipe the inner wall with a paper towel!
Nine: General patterns for making bread and kneading dough
All recipes that can be found online can be used!
The book about steamed buns is very detailed, I won’t repeat it, I will only talk about basic bread or toast!
1: Activate the yeast first (you can skip it if the temperature is high, for example, in summer, the city temperature is already 26 degrees)
Add water or milk, sugar and yeast to the mixing bowl. Use 1:30 seconds temperature 37 degrees, speed 2 to activate
2: Add the ingredients except butter and knead for 2-3 minutes, basically reaching the initial expansion stage!
3: Add butter and knead for about 3 minutes. Generally, the dough will come out of the dough. Occasionally, for some recipes, you may add about 3 minutes more.
At this time, the dough is ready. .
4: Shape into a round shape and ferment. Enlarge the bowl and wrap it in plastic wrap!
It will be OK once the size has doubled. Dip your fingers into some flour and poke a hole. If the hole doesn't shrink back, it's OK
5: Exhaust shaping
Feel free to use it as you like. The easiest way is to shape it into a round lunch bag. Or divide it into three portions and put it on the toast box!
6: Secondary fermentation (you can preheat the oven when it is about 1.5 times in size)
Or until it doubles in size (it is best to add steam), I usually put it in the oven for fermentation. mode, then put hot water underneath!
Check whether the bread is well-risen, one is the volume, and the other is whether the bread will spring back when pressed lightly.
For toast boxes, please send them to at least 8 points!
7: Start baking, just follow the recipe (explore the temperament of your own oven)
8: Most of them need to be taken out to dry after baking!
The general process is like this. You can make basic bread. The later stage is nothing more than changes. Xiaomei has taken care of the most complicated tasks of kneading the dough and activating the yeast, so you can definitely make bread at home!
Ten: Application of turbo key
1: Make lemon juice, Xiaomei’s lemon juice is particularly delicious
The recipe uses 2 lemons to wash everything 2, Add 50G of powdered sugar and 800G of water, press TURBO button 2 seconds * 3 times (one time * 6 seconds) and filter with a mesh basket!
2: Beat granular things
For example, diced pork: Peel the sandwich meat and cut it into small pieces (3CM wide) and freeze them. You don’t have to worry about it being frozen hard. Don't be afraid of hardness, just be afraid of softness. Similarly, press the TURBO button for 6 seconds to beat it into diced meat! If you want to mince meat, then 12 seconds and speed 6 are enough!
3: Beat things that are easy to produce oil (to prevent them from producing oil)
For example, when grinding sesame powder, if the speed is fast, it can be ground into powder in the shortest time without leaving any oil. Oil effect!
The above is my summary. I don’t know if I have made it clear. If you are unclear, you can ask me directly.
