Silicone Steaming Mat for Varoma | for Thermomix TM7 or TM6, TM5 & TM31

This non-stick silicone steaming mat is the perfect accessory for your Varoma or other thermo cooker steaming tray, and with it you’ll use your steaming function more often, eating healthier and homemade. It holds all the juicy goodness while steaming so nothing drips to the next level (think seafood on the top and veggies for the kids on the bottom). Gently steam veggies, meat, noodles and tofu in a flavoursome marinade, cook delicate ingredients that would otherwise be minced by the blades (think fish curry or silken tofu), and cook omelettes and other egg dishes with ease. It’s also perfect for steaming baos and dumplings, both for initial cooking and reheating, even from frozen. But the uses don’t end there: flip the mat over and use it as a lid to stop condensation dripping when steaming cakes and puddings, especially handy with our Silicone Dariole Moulds or yoghurt jars (think Christmas puddings and cheesecakes). We also use it this way when cooking desserts in a water bath in our 6.5L slow cooker.

Will the mat block steam circulating in the Varoma?

Not at all. The mat has vented sides that let steam circulate fully around your food, while still not letting a single drop of liquid escape.

Do I need a different mat for the TM7?

There’s a TM7 variant optimised for the larger TM7 Varoma, so you can cook more in one go. The original TM6/TM5/TM31 mat also works happily in the TM7, you just won’t fit quite as much on it.

Can I just use baking paper instead?

You can, but it takes real skill; get it slightly wrong and your whole mixture runs into the steaming water below, wasting every ingredient. The mat holds sauces and marinades reliably every time, takes no fiddling, and is reusable for life.

Can I steam dumplings and baos from frozen?

Yes! Dumplings, baos, even bagels go straight from the freezer onto the mat, for both first-time cooking and reheating, with nothing sticking.

Does it replace the Varoma?

No, the mat sits inside your existing Varoma tray as a liner. You still need the Varoma base, tray and lid that came with your machine.

Can I use it outside the Thermomix?

Absolutely. It’s a brilliant bowl cover when reheating in the microwave or oven, and our favourite lid for pudding steamers in a water bath or slow cooker, stopping moisture dripping back into your pudding. People often use foil or baking paper for this; the mat is foolproof and far easier.
