• • 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 familiarise yourself with the amount of water to grain, before adjusting to your own taste.
• • Portion sizes – use approx. 60-70 g of uncooked rice per portion.
• • Brown rice or wholegrains may need to be soaked before being cooked.
• • Cooked rice will keep warm for approximately 10 minutes in the Thermomix® before serving.
• • Always stir the cooked rice with the spatula before serving.
• • If the rice is not going to be served immediately, 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.
