“Fry the onion in a little oil for about 5 minutes, until soft.”
Your Monsieur Cuisine shows
Thermomix recipes are everywhere, and most of them work on a Monsieur Cuisine: both machines chop, stir, heat and steam in the same way. A few settings don’t carry over as written, though. Here is what to change, and how CookAdapt converts the whole recipe for you.
Chopping, mixing and kneading times usually carry over as they are, and so do most cooking temperatures: the Monsieur Cuisine heats up to 130 °C, more than the 120 °C of a TM5 or TM6.
The big difference is speed while heating. The Monsieur Cuisine allows speed 3 at most when the heat is on, so a Thermomix step that heats at a higher speed becomes a heated step at speed 3, followed by a short step without heat when the dish needs blending.
Varoma steaming becomes the steamer baskets: 1 litre of water in the jug, the deep basket at the bottom for meat or fish, and about 10 minutes for the steam to build before the steaming time starts.
Each step runs for 90 minutes at most, so a long, slow Thermomix step is split into two.
Paste the link of the Thermomix recipe, a video or the text. CookAdapt reads the original settings and rewrites every step for the Monsieur Cuisine with these rules applied, without asking for a Varoma or a setting your machine doesn’t have.
What CookAdapt changes, step by step, when it converts a Thermomix recipe.
| Thermomix | Monsieur Cuisine | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Heating at speed 4 or more | Speed 3 with heat, then blend without heat | Speed is capped at 3 while heating |
| “Varoma” temperature and Varoma dish | Steam at 120 °C in the steamer baskets, 1 L of water | Same steam, different accessory |
| Turbo | Turbo, only below 60 °C and with 1 L or less | Hardware limit |
| Reverse at speed 4 or more | Reverse up to speed 3 only | Reverse is limited to low speeds |
| Butterfly whisk | Whisk attachment, speed 4 at most, never Turbo | Above speed 4 the whisk can break |
| Soft (spoon) speed | Speed 1 | There is no soft setting |
| Step longer than 90 minutes | Two steps in a row | 90-minute timer per step |
| Guided modes (dough, rice cooker, thicken…) | Manual settings: knead or cook with time, temperature and speed | The result is the same |
| TM7 browning (140–160 °C) | Sauté at 130 °C, or a pan for a deep sear | 130 °C is the maximum |
Steps are written to work on the Plus, Connect and Smart alike.
