Varoma is so much more than a fancy name (coined exclusively by Thermomix®) for a regular steamer, because it’s more than a steamer, and anything but bland. To ‘Varoma’ means to cook with vapour and aromas. It gives you all the health benefits of steam-cooking your food, and all the convenience of cooking in one pot, but with incredible depth of full-bodied flavour and multi-layered textures that you just can’t achieve with regular steaming.
It's a game-changer on so many levels, and it’s 45% roomier with the all-new TM7 too.
Let’s unpack it.
Flavour that rivals deep frying, without the fat
Steam-cooked food that’s free from oils and fats like butter is infinitely healthier, but invariably lacks the deep flavours and complex textures you get with grilling, baking or frying. On the flipside though, when you cook all that fat into your foods not only do you pile on the calories and up your cholesterol, you lose a lot of the nutritional value too.
With Varoma cooking, you get the best of both worlds and none of the bad stuff. Lower calories. Lower cholesterol. Higher nutritional value. Big robust flavour.
Packing more healthy punch, crunch and colour
Did you know steam-cooking fruits and veggies preserves their natural fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants? Steaming also cooks ingredients evenly, with consistent results that retain all the taste, vibrant colour and juicy freshness in your five-a-day by keeping them as close to their raw state as possible.
For you, more fibre means your food is easier to digest. More vitamin B promotes healthy neurological function. Vitamin C balances your body’s essential metabolic reactions. And you get the full benefit of all those heart disease preventatives and cancer-fighting compounds such as riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, biotin, B12, calcium, potassium and zinc.
Saving time and money on your energy bills
By stacking and harnessing the full capacity and capability of your Thermomix® Varoma, simmering basket and mixing bowl, you’re using only one super-efficient appliance to cook multiple courses for easy entertaining or to prep multiple meals for the week ahead.
Add in a Varoma Bundt Tin from TheMix Shop and you're talking double the cooking in half the time. Yes we're talking family-sized serves of steamed rice cooked to perfection in your bundt tin while melt-in-the-mouth curry cooks in your Thermomix® bowl.

And it's all dishwasher-safe too, meaning your big cook-up is super easy to clean up! That’s time saved, more room on your kitchen bench and less mess!
