Brilio.net - Rice cookers are used to cook and keep rice warm for a long time, so many people use them every day. Because they are often used, rice cookers need to be cleaned regularly. However, some parts are often overlooked, including the base that contains a round-shaped heating element.

This heating element functions to deliver heat to the pot in the rice cooker . Long-term use can cause this element to burn and turn black, plus stains from the bottom of the pot that can crust. These burnt stains can reduce heat efficiency, so it is important to clean them.

Many people use toothpaste to clean the bottom of the rice cooker because it is considered effective. However, there are other ingredients from the kitchen that can be used to clean the burnt stains with equally good results.

YouTube user Casa Aila once shared a trick for cleaning burnt spots on the bottom of a rice cooker. Instead of using toothpaste, she relied on a kitchen ingredient, vinegar.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Casa Aila on Monday (9/12), the first thing to do is pour a little vinegar onto the burnt surface. After that, smooth it out with your fingers. Then rub it using a wire brush.

So, if the vinegar is dry, add little by little more vinegar. Then continue rubbing until the crust is lifted. If so, wipe with a dry tissue to remove remaining vinegar and burnt stains that have faded.

In the video, YouTube user Casa Aila repeats the process several times. Because the burn marks are quite thick, she pours vinegar and rubs it several times after wiping the bottom of the rice cooker with a tissue. While rubbing, she explains that the vinegar can be mixed with baking soda if you want the process to be easier.

But even with vinegar, this rice cooker can still be clean and shiny. The thick, crusty burnt parts have been drastically reduced. This indicates that vinegar alone can still be used to remove stubborn stains.

Having been viewed more than 5,000 times, this video by YouTube user Casa Aila has immediately attracted the attention of netizens. Through the comments column, many YouTube netizens expressed their gratitude for getting new and useful knowledge.

"Very good, Mom.
"So it's a trigger for all of us to diligently clean the magic com," said YouTube @SyafrinaChannel.

"Use vinegar to make it shiny, okay?"
It's very important to clean the rice cooker so that the rice doesn't smell and turn yellow. Thanks a lot for sharing, mam," said YouTube @AlmeeraElsyaSiregar.

"Wow... tools can last longer and not get damaged easily if they are cleaned regularly," said YouTube @sriindah.

"Wow, the ending is shiny, thanks for the knowledge, sis," said YouTube @Nana_budgetplan.

"Yes, mom, using baking soda is even better... when I clean the bottom of a Teflon pan, sometimes I just use vinegar and baking soda," said YouTube @EqhyRezkii93.

How to store a rice cooker in the cupboard.

Storing a rice cooker in the cupboard is quite easy. Here are the steps.

1. Make sure it is clean and dry.

Before storing the rice cooker, make sure that the inside and outside of the rice cooker are clean and dry. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and make sure there is no food or dust left on it.

2. Make sure there are no twisted cables.

Make sure the rice cooker power cord is not twisted or folded. You can straighten the cord and roll it neatly for easy storage.

3. Make sure there is no water left inside.

If you have just used your rice cooker, make sure to dry the inside completely before storing it. Do not store the rice cooker with any water left inside as this can cause mold or an unpleasant odor.

4. Store in a dry and protected place.

Place the rice cooker in a dry place and protect it from dust or excess moisture. Ideally, store the rice cooker in a kitchen cupboard or storage cabinet that is protected from direct exposure to sunlight or moisture.

5. Do not put weight on it.

Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the rice cooker when storing it in the cupboard. This may damage the top of the rice cooker or cause damage to the inside.
