Basic information about Thermomix® Cutter
Which Thermomix® model is compatible with the Thermomix® Cutter?
The Thermomix® cutter has been designed for Thermomix® TM5 (manually) & Thermomix® TM6 (to be used with mode) and must not be used with the Thermomix® Friend, as the torque and the speed of TMF are not sufficient enough to produce satisfyable results.
Which is the right speed for the use of the Thermomix® Cutter?
Please only use speed 4 while using the Thermomix® Cutter.
How to remove heavy staining or colouring of the disc?
Some ingredients which are rich in beta-carotene, such as carrots, can cause heavy staining both on steel and on plastic parts of Cutter. To remove those stains efficiently without harming the disc, rub the stained parts with vegetable oil using a cotton ball or some kitchen paper, then wash normally with water and detergent. Please make sure you always handle the disc by the plastic hub when doing this. Do not use bleach to clean any Cutter part.
What is the material of the Thermomix® Cutter?
High grade plastic, BPA free; stainless steel.
What kind of recipes can I make using the Thermomix® Cutter?
Salads, side dishes, desserts where we can see immediately the cut whether sliced or grated. It can be used in ingredient preparation of all recipes that mention ingredients in slices in ingredient description.
Tips:
Slice or grate all the food you want to use in a recipe before starting the recipe with your Thermomix®.
Which functions are available for the Thermomix® Cutter?
You can grate and slice with the cutter. You can either do thin or thick discs or slices.
- The slicing functions are on side 1 of the cutting disc (dark side), while the grating functions are on side 2 of the cutting disc (lightside).
- The thickness of slicing or grating is determined simply by the direction of rotation.
- Normal (clockwise) rotation will produce thick slices or strips, while anti-clockwise rotation results in thin slices or strips.
Attention:
The right type of cut depends on placing the disc with the right side up. The modes can't take care of the correct placing of the disc.
Tips:
A gentle and steady push is all you need for optimal cutting results. Basically you just need to guide down the pusher with your hand while ingredients are in the feeder tube of the cutter.
Is the Thermomix® Cutter dishwasher-safe?
Yes. Place all components loosely and separately in the dishwasher to avoid deformation resulting from exposure to high temperatures or pressure from items above or nearby.
Attention:
Never soak your Cutting Disc in water to avoid possibility of oxidation.
Tips:
The cutting disc can be cleaned in the dishwasher. However, we would recommend cleaning the cutting disc under running water with a washing-up brush. This will help to keep the high-quality blades sharp for longer.
