With the new Recipe Transfer feature introduced in the Cookidoo® Software Release 1.2, sending recipes from your smartphone directly to your Thermomix® TM7 has never been easier. This article explains how to use Recipe Transfer, what technology is involved, and the simple steps you need to follow for a seamless cooking experience.
Learn how Bluetooth® and internet connectivity work together to enable instant recipe handover, how to activate and manage this feature, and what benefits it brings to your Cookidoo® and Thermomix® TM7 workflow. Whether you’re looking to save time, streamline your cooking, or understand the connection between your devices, this guide covers everything you need to know about transferring Cookidoo® recipes to your TM7.
How can I transfer a recipe from my smartphone to my Thermomix® TM7?
With Thermomix® Software Release 1.2 or later, you can easily send a recipe from your smartphone directly to your TM7. To do this, make sure that:
- Bluetooth is enabled on your TM7.
- Bluetooth® is enabled on your smartphone (in your phone’s general settings).
- Bluetooth® access is allowed for the Cookidoo® app (check your phone’s app permissions).
- Both your smartphone and TM7 are connected to the internet.
Once these settings are confirmed, open the Cookidoo® app on your smartphone, select the recipe you wish to send, and tap the ‘Send to Thermomix®’ button. The recipe will then appear on your TM7, ready for you to start cooking.
What technology does the Recipe handover use?
The Recipe handover uses a combination of Bluetooth® and internet connectivity. Bluetooth® is used to detect if your TM7 is nearby and ready to receive the recipe. Once the connection is confirmed, the recipe data itself is sent securely over the internet to your TM7.
Do I need to set up anything on my TM7 to enable Recipe handover?
After updating your TM7 to Software Release 1.2 or later, your device is ready to receive recipes - no additional setup on the TM7 is needed. The Cookidoo® app on your smartphone will guide you through a brief onboarding and setup process to enable Recipe handover. If you ever wish to disable the handover feature, you can do so at any time through the TM7’s settings menu.

What is Recipe handover and how does it work?
Recipe handover allows you to instantly send a recipe from your smartphone to your Thermomix® TM7 with just one tap, no need to touch your TM7. It uses Bluetooth® to detect your device and starts the recipe data transfer securely over the internet to your TM7.
Do I need to pair my smartphone with my TM7 for Recipe handover to work?
No manual pairing is needed. If Bluetooth® is enabled and your smartphone is near the TM7, the system will automatically detect it and allow seamless handover.
Can I transfer a recipe to a TM7 which is linked to another Cookidoo account?
It is possible to enable this feature in "Settings > Remote Access > "Who is allowed to handover recipes? Everyone nearby". This reverts automatically back to "My Cookidoo Account" after a reboot.
Can I also transfer one of my "Created recipes" to another TM7?
The recipe handover works only for official Cookidoo® recipes, not for user created ones like for "Created recipes".
