Tips for using the Rice Cooker Mode

When using the Rice Cooker Mode on Thermomix®, there are a few helpful tips to keep in mind. Always replace the measuring cup with the simmering basket during cooking. The ratio of water to grain will depend on the type of grain, the brand, and the amount being used. Start by following Rice Cooker recipes to get familiar with the water to grain ratios before adjusting to your own taste. Brown rice or whole grains may need to be soaked before cooking. Cooked rice will keep warm for about 10 minutes in the Thermomix® before serving.

It’s recommended to stir the cooked rice with a spatula before serving. If the rice won’t be served immediately, cool it down to room temperature quickly by spreading it out on a plate or tray. Cooked rice can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to one month.

Here are some additional tips for using the Rice Cooker Mode on Thermomix®:

• Consider soaking brown rice or whole grains before cooking for better texture.
• Stir the cooked rice with a spatula before serving for fluffy grains.
• If not serving immediately, cool the rice down quickly to prevent stickiness.
• Store leftover rice in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
