Steaming Desserts in the Thermomix | How to use our Steaming Mat

This non-stick silicone steaming mat is the perfect accessory for your Varoma or other thermo cooker steaming tray - with this mat you’ll be using your Thermomix steaming function more often, eating healthier and homemade! We’re obsessed with the added functionality it offers your machine - so many more delicious creations become available, as does some serious multi-layer cooking. Designed to fit perfectly in your Thermomix Varoma tray (TM31, TM5 and TM6), this non-stick mat holds all the juicy goodness while steaming; nothing will drip down to the next level to contaminate other ingredients (think steaming seafood on the top and veggies for the kids on the bottom!), gently steam veggies, meat, noodles, tofu etc in a flavoursome marinate, cook delicate ingredients that would otherwise get broken up or minced by the TM blades (think fish curry!) and cook omelettes and other egg dishes with ease (this is the only way we ever cook eggs in the thermie!). The non-stick silicone surface is also perfect for steaming baos and dumplings, both for initial cooking and subsequent reheating (even from frozen!). But the uses don’t end there - flip the mat over and use as a ‘lid’ to stop condensation dripping down when steaming cakes and puddings… especially handy when steaming desserts in our non-stick dariole moulds or yoghurt jars (as seen here!). We also use it for this exact same function when cooking desserts in a water bath in our 6.5L slow cooker.
