Our Varoma® Bundt Tin is time-saving gold! We’re talking double the cooking in half the time. Think family-sized serves of Thermomix® steamed rice done to perfection in your Varoma® Bundt Tin, over melt-in-the-mouth curry cooked in your Thermomix®. Yes cook your rice at the same time as your curry, all in under 40 minutes. Make mouth-watering dishes that will feed the family, from curries to sticky pork belly and let's not forget dessert. That’s your mid-week fakeaway delivered faster (cheaper and healthier) than your local takeaway, with minimal energy use and washing up.
And it’s so much more than curry in a hurry. Now you can turn on the steam and cook a main dish and rice at the same time in your Thermomix®, Varoma® and Bundt Tin. Creamy chicken curry. Chilli with corn bread. Lamb biriyani. A big serve of your family favourites, with rice, cooked in a trice.
You can have your cake and eat it too! Pop in and turn out the fluffiest cakes and moistest steamed puddings with the zestiest orange and lemon flavours and richest coffee and chocolate hits. Oh, and steam is the dream for low-fat-big-taste treats – with all that moisture you can reduce the amount of butter and oil.
It’s oven, fridge and freezer safe too, so you can mix it up with baked, chilled and frozen desserts.
For this multi-task master, we sourced the highest quality aluminium and added our signature rose gold non-stick coating to give you optimum heat distribution, easy release (with just a little oil for greasing) and consistently impressive results.
The 1.2L small bundt tin fits in the Varoma® with the Varoma® Tray, adding yet another layer for steaming. The larger size has a whopping 2L capacity and fills the whole Varoma®, so you’ll need to remove the tray to cook up a big bundt tin of Thermomix® steamed rice with your main.
How do you cook rice in a Thermomix® with a Varoma® Bundt Tin?
Step 1: Measure and rinse
Weigh your rice or grains in the Thermomix® Simmering Basket. The 1.2L small bundt tin can steam up to 300 g, while the 2L large bundt can steam up to 500 g.
For best results, rinse all rice and grains thoroughly before cooking.
Step 2: Fill bundt tin and flavour
Lay rinsed, uncooked rice or grains in the base of your Varoma® Bundt Tin and add water (quantities vary depending on type of grain and amount you’re cooking). See table below for details. You can also choose to add oil, ghee, coconut cream or coconut milk to make up the total quantity of liquid.
Flavour your rice or grains with fresh herbs or spices. Try mustard seeds, cardamom pods, curry leaves, sliced ginger, rehydrated dried mushrooms, or simply a slice of lemon.
Step 3: Fill Thermomix Bowl
Add 500 g of liquid to your Thermomix® Bowl for every 30 minutes of steaming at Varoma® temperature. Be mindful that liquids evaporate faster at this temperature, so you might need to add more liquid as needed (unless directed by the recipe).
Step 4: Steam
Select the cooking time (see table below for guides). Times may vary slightly depending on age or brand of rice/grains. Thicker sauces, such as stews and curries, may produce less steam so steaming time may differ slightly. You can reduce the cooking time by adding boiling water to the Varoma Bundt Tin at step 2. Turn the temperature dial to maximum to activate the Varoma® steaming function.
Step 5: Remove and fluff
Take extra care when removing the Varoma® from your Thermomix® as the escaping steam will be hot. Use a fork to fluff your rice/grains to perfection. Or, for extra fluffy results, leave your bundt tin inside the Varoma® with the lid on and set aside for a few minutes to continue cooking. Carefully remove the Varoma® lid and lift out the bundt tin using oven gloves or mitts.
Step 6: Turn out and serve
For cooked rice and couscous, place a large plate over your Varoma® Bundt Tin and use oven gloves or mitts to carefully turn the Bundt Tin upside down. Gently lift the tin to release your cooked rice.
You’ll need to drain grains like freekeh after cooking. Simply empty your bundt tin into the Varoma® to drain thoroughly and serve.

Grease the Varoma® Bundt Tin with a little oil or butter, fill with cake mix to about 2/3 full and tap the tin on your kitchen bench a few times to remove any air bubbles. You’ll find plenty of recipe inspo on Cookidoo® to take you through the steaming process step-by-step with your Thermomix®, Varoma® and Bundt Tin. Once cooked, leave your cake to stand in the tin for 10 minutes, then run a small, silicone spatula around the edges before turning upside down and giving it a gentle shake to release.
Like all Rose Gold non-stick goodness, your Varoma® Bundt Tin is dishwasher safe. But we recommend handwashing in mild soapy water with a soft cloth, drying thoroughly with a tea towel and storing upside down to keep your bundt looking its best. Avoid any metal utensils, abrasive sponges and harsh detergents that can compromise the non-stick coating. Some surface discolouration may occur with use over time.
