Thermomix Vinegar Wash

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes

Thermomix vinegar wash is used to ensure the bowl is completely clean. Creating the perfect meringue for pavlova or macarons involves more than just whipping egg whites. Egg whites need a clean environment, free from grease or any traces of fat. A vinegar wash will remove any residue and is recommended before attempting any recipe which requires whipped egg whites.

Fat inhibits the egg whites from properly aerating and creating the structure necessary for meringue. It prevents the meringue from achieving the hard peaks required for these recipes.

The most effective method to ensure the residue is removed is performing a Thermomix vinegar wash before starting the meringue-making process. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the steps performing an effective vinegar wash.

Other Uses for the Vinegar Wash

Vinegar is highly acidic. If you have stubborn, burned on residue on your Thermomix bowl the vinegar wash can help left the residual. In this instance add 100g of vinegar to the water. Heat at Varoma temperature for 10 minutes with a blade speed of 3. Allow the vinegar and water to sit for 30 minutes or so before you attempt to scrub the bowl again.

When you are cleaning the bowl please only use the recommended cleaning brushes and scrubs. The bowl can be permanently damaged with abrasive steel wool or similar products.
