Brilio.net - Rice cooker is one of the electronic devices commonly owned by many people. Currently, most people choose to use rice cookers to cook rice consumed daily. However, because it is used too often, the rice cooker can be damaged.
One of the problems that is often faced is that rice cooked in a rice cooker takes longer to cook. Sometimes, the process of cooking rice in a rice cooker can take hours, whereas it usually only takes 20-35 minutes, depending on the amount of rice being cooked.
It turns out that one of the reasons why rice is difficult to cook in a rice cooker is because the bottom of the rice cooker pan is damaged or dented. A dented pan can interfere with the contact between the heating element and the magnetic thermostat in the rice cooker, so that heat cannot be transferred optimally to the pan. As a result, the rice takes longer to cook.

"The rice is not cooked yet but the magic com has already fallen over, now this is the problem. The problem that often arises is in the pan, the pan often gets dented," he explained.
Not only explaining the cause, he also provided a solution to overcome the problem. So, a pan that is dented or has a curved bottom like that can simply be straightened with a hard blunt object. For example, wood or a hammer handle.

You simply press the rice cooker pan from the inside using a blunt object. Press the part several times until the bottom of the pan is straighter or enough until the middle part is inclined (curved) outward. According to him, this part is an important support for conducting heat and can make rice cook quickly.
"And the middle part of the bottom (pot) is the support for the automatic cooking (magnetic thermostat). If it goes inside, so when the temperature (temperature) is not (to make the rice) cooked, the magnet will easily come off," he explained further.

If the bottom of the pan is more basic or tilted out, then the magnetic thermostat can deliver maximum heat to the rice cooker pan . That way, the rice cooker can function as usual. The cooked rice can be cooked again quickly.
Well, this trick to fix a dented rice cooker pan is quite simple and easy to imitate. You can even apply this trick yourself at home when you encounter the same problem.
