Brilio.net - Dodol has a sweet taste and chewy texture, so many people choose it as a snack. However, one of the challenges that many people often experience when eating dodol is when opening the packaging. Not without reason, dodol is usually packaged with paper packaging. Well, this paper often sticks and is sticky, so that many dodol are thrown away before being eaten.
This experience has been experienced by many people, including netizens using Threads @neng_nad4. Through one of her uploads, she had time to vent about the garut dodol she was about to eat. This dodol was packaged in thin, transparent paper. However, when she was about to open it, the paper was destroyed.
The appearance of the destroyed dodol can be seen in a photo that was uploaded. Who would have thought, the paper had really stuck to the sticky dodol. As a result, the netizen chose to immediately eat the dodol along with the wrapping paper at once. Even though the dodol wrapping paper is not for consumption.
" This is the reason I'm from Asgar (originally from Garut), but I'm lazy about eating Garut dodol ," said Threads user @neng_nad4, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (25/11).

Behind the dilemma, there are a number of people who then rack their brains to open the dodol packaging. Not a few even try various tricks. A TikTok user @ummifatia is one of them. In one of the videos uploaded, she once showed a trick to open the dodol garut packaging so that it doesn't stick and stick to the paper.
TikTok user @neng_nad4 actually relies on a rice cooker. She put her dodol into a hot rice cooker. Even the rice cooker still contains full cooked rice that has not been eaten. So, the hot temperature from the rice cooker will be used to overcome the difficult-to-open dodol garut wrapper.

Now, the unpeeled dodol is immediately arranged on top of the rice in the rice cooker. After that, close the rice cooker and let it sit for a few minutes. It doesn't need to be too long, just 1-2 minutes. When it starts to get hot, open the rice cooker and take the dodol, then arrange it on a plate first.

Basically, the hot temperature of the rice cooker will soften the dodol wrapper. As a result, the skin comes off easily when peeled. This is evident from the appearance of TikTok user @neng_nad4 who tried to open the dodol wrapper easily. When peeled, the dodol paper wrapper did not stick or stick at all. Therefore, the dodol remains intact and beautiful, so it is ready to be consumed.
In addition to heating with a rice cooker, there are also other tricks that can be done to open the dodol wrapper. This was once shared by Threads user @andinatahalim in the comments column of Threads @neng_nad4's upload. He admitted that the trick he did was also effective in making the dodol garut wrapper easier to open.
" Just dry it in the sun, bro: once it's dry, it'll be easier to open. Because that's usually how I do it. So the outside is dry and the inside is soft. It's a personal preference ," explained Threads @andinatahalim.
