Perfect rice, zero guesswork
Struggling with rice that turns out gluey or undercooked? You’re not alone. Thermomix TM7’s Rice Cooker mode takes the uncertainty out of the process by managing heat, time, and movement automatically—so you get light, tender grains every time, while you focus on the rest of dinner.
Why TM7’s Rice Cooker mode stands out
- Consistency built in: Precise temperature and timing logic tailored to rice.
- Truly hands‑off: Start the program and walk away—no watching the pot.
- Versatile by design: Works beautifully with basmati, jasmine, long‑grain, and brown rice.
- Less mess: One bowl to cook and clean.
Step‑by‑step: Foolproof rice in Thermomix TM7
- Measure the rice
- 200 g uncooked rice serves 2–3. Scale up as needed.
2. Rinse for better texture
- Rinse under cold water until it runs mostly clear to remove excess starch.
3. Add water (general rule)
- Start with roughly a 1:1 ratio by weight (e.g., 200 g rice + 200 g water).
- Adjust by type:
- Basmati/jasmine: 1:1 to 1:1.1
- Long‑grain white: 1:1.1 to 1:1.2
- Brown rice: 1:1.4 to 1:1.6 Tip: Softer, stickier rice = slightly more water; firmer grains = slightly less.
4. Start Rice Cooker mode
- Select Rice Cooker on your TM7 and press start. The TM7 optimises heat and timing automatically.
5. Rest, then fluff
- When the program finishes, let rice stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork or spatula before serving.
Flavor idea: Swap water for light stock, or add a bay leaf, crushed garlic clove, or a splash of coconut milk for aromatic rice.
Thermomix vs. traditional rice cookers
Typical rice cookers offer multiple buttons; white, brown, quick, each with different timings and temperatures. TM7 condenses this into a single intelligent mode that adapts behind the scenes. No guesswork, fewer settings, better results.
Pro tips for next‑level rice
- Salt early: Add a pinch of salt to the water for even seasoning.
- Aromatics first: Briefly warm spices (e.g., cumin seeds) in a splash of oil using a low heat setting, then add rice and water for pilaf‑style flavour.
- Resting time matters: Those extra 5 minutes let steam finish hydrating the centre of each grain.
- For fried rice: Use slightly less water to keep grains drier and bouncier for stir‑frying later.
- Batch and store: Cool quickly, refrigerate in shallow containers, and reheat with Varoma steam for fresh‑cooked texture.
Brown rice made easy
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Use 1:1.5 (rice:water by weight) as a starting point.
- Run Rice Cooker mode and allow the 5–10 minute rest at the end. Expect a nutty, firm bite without chewiness.
FAQs
- Can I cook small portions? Yes—just scale the water to the rice by weight and keep to the minimum volume recommended in your manual.
- My rice is too soft: Reduce water by 5–10% next time and shorten resting time by a couple of minutes.
- My rice is too firm: Add 20–30 g hot water, cover, and let stand 5–10 minutes; note the higher ratio for next time.
Where to start: 3 quick flavour profiles
- Citrus & herb: Lemon zest, parsley, pinch of salt.
- Coconut‑lime: Light coconut milk (replace part of the water), lime leaf or zest.
- Spiced pilaf: Warm a little oil with cumin seeds and turmeric; add rice, then water/stock.
