Rice is a universal ingredient, enjoyed in various ways to accompany a variety of dishes. Basmati rice traditionally accompanies Indian curries, Jasmine rice traditionally accompanies Thai-style curries, brown basmati is popular as a healthy and tasty rice, and long grain rice is the universal rice enjoyed by everyone.
Let Thermomix® prepare the rice, while you prepare the main course. The temperature and cook time will be defined by Thermomix®. The rice is cooked in a precise and gentle way, so that you can rely on good results every time. The TM6® Rice Cooker Mode also cooks other grains like millet, bulgur or spelt.
• Always replace the measuring cup with the simmering basket when using the Rice Cooker Mode.
• The ratio of water will depend on the grain that you are using, the brand and also on the grain amount. Start by using the Rice Cooker recipes to familiarize yourself with the amount of water to grain ratios, before adjusting to your own taste.
• Brown rice or whole grains may need to be soaked before being cooked.
• When Rice Mode is finished, transfer to a bowl, cover and let rest approximately 10 minutes.
• Always stir the cooked rice with the spatula before serving.
• If making the rice in advance, cool it down to room temperature quickly by spreading it out on a plate or tray. Refrigerate or freeze as soon as the rice is at room temperature.
• Refrigerate cooked rice for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to one month.
