Bread

Insert the Thermomix® Sensor into the dough ensuring the tip is in the core of the dough and the reference notch entirely or close to the dough surface. If the dough is not firm enough to hold it, use a baking tin and the holder to keep the thermometer in place. Make sure the tip of the probe does not to touch the baking tin.

Cakes

Use the holder piece to keep Thermomix® Sensor in the right position, weather it is a thin layer of batter or a deep one.

Which kitchen appliances can be used with your Thermomix® Sensor?

Thermomix® Sensor is suitable for most of your kitchen appliances: oven, barbecue, air-fryers, pans on the stove and with sous-vide bags.

When using Thermomix® Sensor with an oven, the result might vary slightly, depending on whether you use a static or a fan oven.

For optimal results when air-frying meat or fish in your Thermomix®, ensure they fit comfortably inside the frying basket along with the Thermomix® Sensor, check halfway through to prevent overcooking, avoid using baking paper to maintain Sensor connection, and consider brushing the meat with oil or greasing the basket for best outcomes.

Cleaning

  • Before cleaning, allow the probe to cool down.

  • Clean the probe and the holder, before and after every use, with water and washing-up liquid. Do not use cleaning products with alcohol, ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these could damage the device.

  • Do not place the probe under water for long periods of time.

  • Before putting it back in the charger, make sure that probe and holder are totally dry.
