Vorwerk has announced exciting upgrades for the Thermomix TM7 and Cookidoo portal, including a revamped user interface and enhanced functionalities. Key features include an improved ‘Guided Cooking’ experience, a Digital Twin visual assistant, and the return of personal recipe notes. Upcoming additions like ‘Recipe Handover’ and ‘App Monitoring’ will further streamline cooking processes. The Cookidoo subscription remains at 60 euros annually, offering access to over 100,000 recipes. The Thermomix TM7 launches on April 7, 2025, with pre-orders available now.
Exciting Updates for the Thermomix TM7 and Cookidoo Portal
During the unveiling of the Thermomix TM7, Vorwerk announced significant enhancements to the Cookidoo portal. These improvements include a refreshed interface and new functionalities designed to enhance user experience. Let’s delve into the details of the upcoming innovations and their potential impact on your daily cooking routine.
A Fresh Look: Cookidoo Gets a Makeover
While Vorwerk is not completely revamping the Cookidoo recipe portal, users will notice a streamlined design upon the Thermomix TM7’s launch. The updated layout aims to simplify navigation and improve usability. Initial testing of the pre-release version at the announcement event showed promising results, but it remains to be seen if issues with the filter function—particularly when it comes to excluding ingredients—will be resolved.
One of the standout features of the Thermomix TM7 is the enhanced ‘Guided Cooking’ experience. This function provides users with detailed, step-by-step instructions for every recipe. A notable upgrade is the interaction with the integrated scale, now capable of weighing ingredients from -3,000 to 3,000 grams. This means you can easily manage ingredient quantities, and the device automatically detects when the correct amount has been reached, allowing for seamless transitions between ingredients. Users can also exclude specific ingredients on the display, making it easier to accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions.
Another exciting addition is the Digital Twin feature, which acts as a visual assistant on the 10-inch touchscreen. This innovative technology allows for real-time reflections of various kitchen actions. For example, removing the mixing bowl lid triggers an animated display on the screen, enhancing the cooking experience. While it may not be essential, it’s a handy feature for everyday kitchen tasks.
Fans of the Thermomix will be thrilled to know that the ability to add personal notes to recipes is making a comeback. This feature, which was last available with the TM5, was missed by many when it was removed in the TM6. Users can now once again customize their recipe experience on Cookidoo.
Looking Ahead: Upcoming Features for Cookidoo
The enhancements for Cookidoo don’t stop here. In the summer of 2025, two additional features are set to launch that will further elevate user convenience. The ‘Recipe Handover’ feature will allow you to choose a recipe in the Cookidoo app on your smartphone or tablet and transfer it to the Thermomix TM7 simply by bringing the device close to the kitchen machine—extremely practical for busy cooks.
Additionally, an ‘App Monitoring’ feature will be introduced via an update, providing push notifications to your smartphone when a recipe step is completed or when your attention is needed for the next step. This means you can enjoy your favorite show on the couch without having to constantly check on your cooking progress.
As for the subscription cost, you can breathe easy. The price for the Cookidoo subscription will remain at 60 euros per year, providing access to more than 100,000 illustrated recipes in 20 different languages, complete with videos and success guarantees. Each recipe has undergone rigorous testing to ensure quality, with at least three test runs conducted before being made available on the platform.
The highly anticipated Thermomix TM7 is set to launch on April 7, 2025, and pre-orders are already available for eager customers. Get ready to elevate your cooking experience with these exciting new tools!
