I noticed that the ambient temperature is not matching my cooker temperature. How can this happen?

In most cases, built-in cooker thermometers measure the temperature in a different spot from where you put your food, like in the back of the oven or the lid of the grill. On top of this, there are usually hot and cold spots in the cooker, rather than having one consistent temperature throughout the whole chamber. That’s why it’s important for Thermomix® Sensor’s ambient sensor to read the temperature right at the black ceramic handle. It tells you the actual temperature your food is exposed to and helps to calculate a more accurate cook time.

How many Thermomix® Sensors can I connect to the Cooking Center app?

Thermomix® Sensor can only be connected to 2 devices at a time, whether 2 Thermomix® TM6, a Thermomix TM6® and a mobile or 2 mobiles.

How do I store my Thermomix® Sensor probe correctly in the charger?

Before placing the probe back into the charger, make sure it has been clean properly and all fat residue removed. The probe should be completely dry before being placed back into the charger.

Why does my Thermomix® Sensor probe’s internal sensor not match another thermometer I’m using?

TIf you’re using more than one thermometer to check your meat temperature, there’s a couple of important things to keep in mind. While the meat is still cooking, there can be variations in temperature in different parts of the meat. This can happen because of differences in thickness, fat content, or proximity to bones. Even if you’re trying to measure in exactly the same spot, most other thermometers have their sensors right in the tip, whereas ours is about 2 cm from the pointed end. The core function of Thermomix® Sensor is to give you perfect and consistent results every time. This is why all of our probes’ internal sensors are calibrated to +/− 0.5°C (1°F) in the factory using certified tools, and then thoroughly tested.

I have 2 Thermomix® Sensors that I used in parallel in the same meat. How is it possible, that they show different core temperatures?

If you’re using more than one Thermomix® Sensors to check your meat temperature, there’s a couple of important things to keep in mind. While the meat is still cooking, there can be variations in temperature in different parts of the meat. This can happen because of differences in thickness, fat content, or proximity to bones.

Thermomix® Sensor said my meat was ready, but it did not reach the doneness I aimed for, why?

Most issues with undercooking are due to probe placement. The internal sensor of the sensor probe is located about 2 cm above the pointed tip of the probe. It is important that this part of the probe is in the thickest part of the meat. If it isn’t, the area of the meat that the sensor is touching will hit the target temperature before the core of the meat has the chance to raise to the right temperature.

What are the different components of the Thermomix® Sensor?

Thermomix® Sensor consists of three main elements: probe, charger and holder. The probe is internally equipped with two sensors to monitor the core and ambient temperature. During the cooking process, the probe continually transmits data to Thermomix® TM6 and the Cooking Center app so that you are always aware of the precise temperature measured in your food. On the probe a reference notch is visible. This needs to be inserted into the food to ensure correct temperature readings and accurate time calculations. For doughs and batters that will continue rising while baking, the reference notch does not necessarily need to be fully inserted but placed close to the batter surface (approx. 1 cm). The charger acts as a repeater and amplifies the signal coming from the probe. You must therefore ensure that the charger is always near the probe: for example, when baking, place the charger close to the oven, using or not the magnets which are on the back of the charger. The silicon-made holder is needed when baking liquid doughs which cannot hold the probe in position. You need to use the holder to maintain the probe in the right position in the food and prevent it from sinking into the dough. You can choose between two different insertion angles, A and B depending on the size of the baking tin and the quantity of batter.

What is the difference between the new Thermomix® Sensor and the Meater?

The Thermomix® Sensor seamlessly integrates into the Guided Cooking feature of the Thermomix® TM6.

How distant should the charger be while using the Thermomix® Sensor during the cooking process?

Throughout the cooking process, Thermomix® Sensor continuously transmits data to both Thermomix® TM6 and the Cooking Center app. The probe sends this data to the charger, which acts as a repeater and amplifies the signal. It is crucial to ensure that the charger remains in close proximity to the probe, ideally within a distance of less than 1 meter. For instance, when baking, it is advisable to position the charger near the oven, regardless of whether you utilize the magnets on the back of the charger or not. On the other hand, Thermomix® TM6 can be placed further away from the charger, typically between 1 to 50 meters depending on the surrounding environment.

Why does my Thermomix® Sensor keep disconnecting mid cook?

The signal strength can be reduced significantly by a metal shielding, like a metal lid, splashguard or an oven with microwave functionality. Also if the ceramic part of the probe is in contact with food or tins might impact the connectivity. Thermomix® Sensor charger has a built-in Bluetooth® repeater to amplify the probe signal, so you will need to keep it close to the probe during a cooking session to get proper range extension. If the LED on the charger flashes red, it indicates that the charger is trying to establish a connection with the probe, or that there is no connection. You need to place the charger closer to the oven, pan or grill. If this does not help, carefully remove probe from the food, clean it, place it back in the charger for 5 seconds before inserting it back into the food. If the LED on the charger flashes green, the charger is on and is connected to the probe. A green blinking light on Thermomix® Sensor charger indicates that the charger is on and is connected to the probe.

What can I do if my Thermomix® TM6 does not find the Thermomix® Sensor?

To ensure a reliable connection between Thermomix® TM6 and Thermomix® Sensor, it is recommended to take the following actions:
a) Decrease the distance between the probe, charger, and Thermomix® TM6.
b) Ensure that both the probe and charger have sufficient battery level.
c) Thoroughly clean the probe in accordance with the provided guidelines.

What should I do if my Thermomix® Sensor probe stops connecting?

While you’re cooking, a lot of residues can build up on the probe. These residue act like a barrier between the probe and the charger. It could be bits of food or soot from the smoke, but in most cases, it’s just a little bit of grease that you might not even be able to see. When this happens, the probe can’t charge, so it might be completely drained the next time you want to use it. This is one of the most common issues occurring, which is why it is essential to clean the probe before and after using it. The most effective way to get rid of any residue is scrubbing the probe well with a mixture of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) and white vinegar using a scouring pad, then giving it a quick wash ensuring it’s completely dry before placing it back in the charger. Don’t worry, the probe will be fine under running water, and it can take a good scrub! You might also want to wipe the metal contact points on the charger with a dry cloth to remove any potential leftover residue. That done, just let the probe charge for 2 hours. Once you’ve got your probe connected again, make sure to get it sparkling clean after every usage. Most time, hot, soapy water and the rough side of a sponge will be enough, though you might just want to bust out the baking soda and vinegar again if you start seeing a lot of discoloration.

Why does the Thermomix® Sensor disconnect as soon as I shut the oven door?

Certain oven doors are more insulated than others causing the Bluetooth® connection to drop. It may occur that Bluetooth® gets stuck. Should this happen, switch Bluetooth® off and on again. Having an additional device (such as a mobile) can help to check if your probe is connected or not. If you find that when you open the oven door you can reconnect to the probe easily, it is most likely that your oven is too insulated to allow a stable Bluetooth® connection.

How many smart devices (Thermomix® TM6 or Cooking Center app) can be connected at a time to the Thermomix® Sensor?
