Well this little chart took me into the wee hours of the morning! 😅
I hope it’s a helpful resource and that you’re inspired to try this amazing **Sous-Vide mode**, available on the **TM6 and TM7**. It really does deliver restaurant-quality results with very little hands-on time.
I poured a lot of time (and love!) into creating this sous-vide guide 💚
If it helped you or inspired you, please feel free to share it — you might just help a friend have their aha moment with their Thermomix! 🙏
A few extra tips to help you get the most out of sous vide:
Prep smart
* Season proteins simply before bagging (salt is essential; go easy on garlic and herbs)
* Add 1 tsp olive oil to the bag for chicken or fish
* Vacuum seal or use a good-quality zip-lock with the water-displacement method
* Re-usable silicon sous vide bags can be purchased if you don't want plastic - check Amazon.
* Add some lemon juice to the water to prevent blade oxidization
* Add tap hot water to the bowl to speed things up
*Use your blade cover - no blade coverm=, you can sous vide in the simmering basket
* Thickness matters more than weight — thicker cuts: add time, not temperature
Temperature = doneness
Time = thickness & tenderness
Cook ahead with confidence
* Sous vide is perfect for prepping in advance
* Once cooked, chill bags quickly in iced water, then refrigerate for up to 2 days
* Reheat gently in the Thermomix at the original cooking temperature - same temp, just long enough to heat the centre - as a guide: Steaks : 30–45 minutes, Chicken breast or thighs: 45 minutes, Fish fillets: 20 minutes, Shellfish: 10 minutes
Searing = flavour, not cooking
* Sous vide cooks the food perfectly — the sear is just for colour and flavour
* Pat protein **very dry** before searing
* Use a very hot pan and sear briefly (60 seconds per side)
Resting
Resting isn’t essential with sous vide, but a short rest after searing helps juices settle
Once you try sous vide, it’s hard to go back — it’s precise, stress-free, and incredibly consistent. You just need to know what temp and how long! 💚
