Two new modes have just arrived on your Thermomix® TM6! The Thicken Mode is used to create delicious sauces to enhance your daily dishes, and the Rice Cooker Mode cooks rice and other grains directly in the mixing bowl. With these intelligent and automated modes, Thermomix® makes your daily cooking experience even easier.
The perfect mode to make your savoury or sweet starch-thickened sauces, hot emulsified sauces and desserts and spreads. With this mode, you can easily make your family recipes in your Thermomix®. Simply place the ingredients in the mixing bowl, select the mode, set the temperature (see Quick tips below), and turn the knob. Thermomix® will control the cooking time based on the amount of ingredients, type of ingredients and temperature.
• For starch-thickened recipes set temperature to 100ºC – These recipes are thickened using any type of flour, such as wheat flour, cornflour or potato starch as the thickening agent. Béchamel sauce, Soubise sauce, or Crème patissiére are some recipes using a starch as the thickening agent.
• For egg-thickened recipes set temperature to 80ºC – These recipes use eggs or egg yolks as the thickening agent, and include hot emulsified sauces, desserts or spreads. Try the Hollandaise sauce, Béarnaise sauce, or Orange liqueur zabaglione.
• For some hot emulsified sauces use the butterfly whisk – The butterfly whisk will incorporate more air into your sauces, creating the perfect egg foam. The whisk is ideal for Zabaglione.
The Rice Cooker Mode cooks more than just rice! You can also cook grains like millet, bulgur or spelt with the Rice Cooker mode. Place the grain of your choice in the mixing bowl along with water and seasoning, select the mode and turn the knob. The temperature and cooking time are automatically controlled by Thermomix®.
• Simmering basket – replace the measuring cup with the simmering basket when using the Rice Cooker mode.
• Portion sizes – use approx. 75 g of rice per portion.
• Water ratio– the ratio of water will depend on the grain you are using, the brand of the grain and the amount of the grain. Start by using the Basic Rice Cooker recipes to familiarize yourself with the water ratios for each grain and then adjust to your own taste.
• Brown or wholegrain rice – soak brown rice or wholegrains before cooking. Follow the recipe indiciations for soaking times.
