Place the rice basket (simmering basket) into the Thermomix bowl.
Weigh the brown rice into the basket.
Remove the rice basket and rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Place the basket back into the Thermomix bowl.
Add the butter and the pinch of salt.
Pour over the boiling water until it's covered the rice by 1cm (do NOT exceed the MAX line).
Note: you will need approximately 1-1.25 litres of boiling water (depending on the size of your TM bowl).
Cook for 25-30 minutes, 110 degrees, Speed 4 (with the MC removed but the splatter guard in place).
Check the rice at the 25 minute mark and if you'd prefer it slightly more tender continue cooking for the final 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the rice basket (steaming basket), fluff with a fork and serve immediately.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear - this removes the start and stops your rice from being gluggy.
You will need approximately 1-1.25 litres of boiling water. Keep adding water until it's 1cm above the rice.
Do NOT at any stage exceed the MAX line - this is particularly important for TM31 models as the bowl is slightly smaller.
Cook the rice with the MC off - this is for safety reasons when cooking at high temperatures.
Cook the rice for 25 minutes and then test it. Cook for a further 5 minutes for a softer rice.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately.
Be very careful when removing the simmering basket from the Thermomix machine after the rice has cooked as it will be very hot. Use the spatula to hook into the simmering basket and very carefully remove it.
Store leftover rice in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 day.
