The lid cap of the Thermomix® TM7 bowl is an essential accessory that replaces previous components like the splash guard and measuring cup. It securely sits on the mixing bowl lid, fastened with a simple twist to prevent splashes and ensure safe cooking.
What is the lid cap and what is it used for?
The lid cap replaces previous accessories like the splash guard, simmering basket, measuring cup, etc. Tightly place it on top of the mixing bowl with a little twist/turn, like you would close the lid of a jar, to secure it properly and prevent possible splashes. It is always placed on the mixing bowl lid except when the Varoma® is used or when washing the lid and lid cap. When removing the lid cap for using the Varoma®, be careful, since the lid and lid cap get very warm while cooking.
How do I place the lid cap properly?
Tightly place it on top of the mixing bowl with a little twist/turn, like you would close the lid of a jar, to secure it properly. It should always be placed on the mixing bowl lid except when the Varoma® is in use or when washing the lid and lid cap.
During the cooking process, my lid cap came off. What should I do?
In rare occasions, the lid cap can come off during the cooking process and fall to the side. If that happens, simply finish your cooking step and put it back on with a little twist/turn, like you would close the lid of a jar. Be careful, since the lid and lid cap get very warm while cooking.
Why do I have to place the lid cap on top while I'm cooking?
The lid cap prevents possible splashes from inside the mixing bowl.
Do I always have to place it on top while cooking?
Yes, it is mandatory to put the lid cap all the time on top during any cooking process. Only when using the Varoma®, the lid cap is not needed.
Using the lid cap, do I still need to use all the other accessories that I used with TM6 (splash guard, measuring cup, simmering basket etc.)?
No, the lid cap replaces all previous accessories. Only when cooking with Varoma®, the lid cap is not needed.
