The Tokit stayed put and the Thermomix moved about 2cm (0.79 inches) sideways. <\/p>\n<h1>Guided Recipes<\/h1>\n<p>Wifi is required to use guided recipes on both machines.  They can be used in manual mode without wifi.<\/p>\n<p>Tokit has thousands of guided recipes, you can access them for free online and on the machine itself.  Most have photos or videos for each step along with the written instructions.  <\/p>\n<p>Thermomix has a paid yearly Cookidoo membership that gives you access to 70,000 recipes online or on the machine and you can enter your own recipes into Cookidoo.  Most recipes have written instructions without photos for steps. Cookidoo also allows you to make collections of recipes and add the ingredients to a shopping list.  Shopping lists can then be imported into online shopping apps if you have one available.  I found that this added around 60% of items to my cart and 40% were &#8216;out of stock&#8217; so I had to manually find substitutes.  Some of the items added to the cart were the most expensive choice so I also changed those.  Otherwise this was a useful feature.<\/p>\n<h1>Maximum Temperature<\/h1>\n<p>In manual mode Thermomix can only go to 120oC.  It can go higher in some guided recipes (pecan brittle) but you can not write your own recipes to do so.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-sugar-550x309.png\" alt=\"thermomix tm6 v tokit review candy\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135202\" data-wp-pid=\"135202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-sugar-550x309.png 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-sugar-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-sugar-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-sugar-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-sugar-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-sugar-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-sugar.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In manual mode the maximum temperature on the tokit is 180oC which allows you to make recipes like caramel and hard candies.<\/p>\n<p>Pecan Brittle Recipe (thermomix could not do this recipe)<br \/>\n250g (8.82 ounces) pecans or other nuts<br \/>\n200g (7.05 ounces) sugar<br \/>\n1 tablespoon glucose syrup<br \/>\n150mL (5.07 fluid ounces) water<br \/>\nPlace the pecans on a lined baking tray in the oven at 100C (212 degrees Fahrenheit).<br \/>\nSet to 155C (311 degrees Fahrenheit) for 1 minutes at speed 2.  Stop and wash down the sides of the jug and the blades with a wet pastry brush to ensure that there are no sugar crystals left.<br \/>\nSet to 155C (311 degrees Fahrenheit), speed 0.5 for 10 minutes.<br \/>\nPour onto over the warm pecans and leave to cool completely.<\/p>\n<h1>Precise Temperature Control<\/h1>\n<p>Both machines allow you to select the temperature to cook at.  While this means the machine will not go above this temperature the tokit does not tell you what the current temperature is &#8211; so if you need to get there recipe over a certain temperature you will need to use a thermometer to check.<\/p>\n<p>The Thermomix has a smaller number shown above the set heat to tell you the current temperature.  Multiple tests showed this to be inaccurate when tested with liquids that contained egg yolks, cream and sugar.  The reading said it had reached the set temperature when it was still 20oC below that temperature.  UPDATE: I notified thermomix of this problem and they asked for the machine to be sent back for testing.  So I boxed up the brand new machine and took it to the post office, I will update this post when I hear back from them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-temperature-550x309.png\" alt=\"thermomix tm6 v tokit review temperature wrong\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135203\" data-wp-pid=\"135203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-temperature-550x309.png 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-temperature-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-temperature-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-temperature-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-temperature-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-temperature-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-temperature.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cremeux Recipe <\/strong>(a single quantity of this recipe was used in each machine)<br \/>\n550g (19.4 ounces) or 2 1\/4 cups cream 35% fat<br \/>\n120g (4.23 ounces) egg yolks (approx 5-8 yolks)<br \/>\n60g (2.12 ounces) or 1\/4 cup sugar<br \/>\n200g (7.05 ounces) Milk Chocolate<br \/>\n270g (9.52 ounces) Dark Chocolate<\/p>\n<p>Place the cream, egg yolks and sugar into he machine.

They do melt chocolate nicely, but it is difficult to get the chocolate out due to the blades.<\/p>\n<h1>Slow Cooking<\/h1>\n<p>Thermomix will allow you to set times up to 8 hours in slow cooking mode.  In this mode it stirs intermittently.  The mode that is the most similar on the tokit is the stewing mode.  However the tokit stewing mode will only let you set it for a maximum of 99 minutes.  So to achieve the recipe below which required 6 hours of cooking time I had to turn it on again when the timer ran out &#8211; twice.  If you purchase the tokit slow cook plug then you could do this on the sous video function, the plug would overcome the issue of it stirring constantly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TM^-thermomix-review-pulled-pork-550x309.png\" alt=\"thermomix tm6 v tokit review slow cook pulled pork\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135206\" data-wp-pid=\"135206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TM^-thermomix-review-pulled-pork-550x309.png 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TM^-thermomix-review-pulled-pork-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TM^-thermomix-review-pulled-pork-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TM^-thermomix-review-pulled-pork-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TM^-thermomix-review-pulled-pork-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TM^-thermomix-review-pulled-pork-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TM^-thermomix-review-pulled-pork.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>800g (28.22 ounces) pork, you&#8217;d struggle to fit more than that in<br \/>\n2 tablespoons oregano<br \/>\n120g (4.23 ounces) onion<br \/>\n3 red chilli<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon pepper corns<br \/>\n20g (0.71 ounces) garlic<br \/>\n2 peeled oranges<br \/>\n1 L (0.26 gallons) of water or up to maximum fill line.<\/p>\n<p>Cook 6 hours at 85C (185 degrees Fahrenheit).<br \/>\nRemove pork and shred using 2 forks.<br \/>\nRetain liquid, use some to make a space and the rest for a soup.<\/p>\n<h1>Boil Water<\/h1>\n<p>Both machines were filled to the maximum fill line of 2.2L (0.58 gallons), at 100C (212 degrees Fahrenheit), speed 1.

The thermomix automatically locks into place when it is turned on, which creates a potential hazard if you catch you fingers or hair in the locking mechanism.  The locking mechanism takes a a few seconds to unlock when you turn the cooking function off, which given the number of tests I was doing was a little frustrating.  The thermomix will not heat if you set the speed above 6, although if your contents are already hot you can set the speed up to full speed.<br \/>\nThe tokit will not operate without the lid locked into place.  It is possible to lock the lid on at the front when it is not properly attached at the back.  This is a safety concern as it will allow the contents to spill out if it is full and maximum speed is selected.  If you have one of these machines please ensure you check it is locked in at the back before operating.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-safety-550x309.png\" alt=\"thermomix tm6 v tokit review safety\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135201\" data-wp-pid=\"135201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-safety-550x309.png 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-safety-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-safety-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-safety-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-safety-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-safety-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-review-safety.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n \n<h4 align=center>My Cookbook<\/h4>\n<p align=center>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/cook-crazy-sweet-creations-cookbook-ann-reardon\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"40%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hardcover-book-mockup-of-a-woman-reading-3409-el1.png\" alt=\"ann reardon crazy sweet creations cookbook\" title=\"Crazy Sweet Creations Cookbook\" style=\"opacity: 0.8; -moz-opacity: 0.8;\" class=\"fade\" \/><\/a>\n<\/br>\nStores that sell my book listed by country:  \n<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook<\/a>\n<\/br>\nAll recipe quantities in the book are in grams, ounces and cups.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/thermomix-tm6-v-tokit-omni-cook\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" src=\"\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>This video goes over each machine in detail, it shows the functions available and tests them against each other for the main functions. below is a brief summary.
