Brilio.net - The deliciousness of rice is very dependent on its condition when served. Ideal rice usually has the characteristics of being warm, fragrant, and having the right texture. When rice meets these criteria, even a simple side dish can be a very satisfying dish. In a hungry situation, delicious rice can even encourage someone to increase their portion of food.
However, sometimes rice cooked using a magic com (electric rice cooker) can experience problems. Some complaints that often arise are rice that smells bad or changes color to yellowish. Various factors can cause a decrease in the quality of rice like this, with the main cause often related to the cleanliness of the magic com that is not maintained.
Faced with such a problem, a social media user known as Kak Three shared his experience in overcoming the problem with the magic com . His story offers insight into how to restore the quality of rice cooked using this appliance, providing a practical solution for those facing similar problems.
"The story is that the rice in the magic com smells and is yellow, even after wiping it, it still smells," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @dandtos_store on Friday (11/10).
As a result, he decided to clean the magic com in another way. Not using citric acid , baking soda, or special cleaning agents, but only using water and dish soap. The method is also not difficult, namely the magic com is wetted first, then wiped using soap and a sponge.
"To keep it safe and prevent it from getting damaged later, secure the cable first so that it doesn't get wet. You can wrap it in plastic or just hold it like I do," he explained.

After all parts of the magic com are wiped until completely clean, then rinse using running water until there is no more soap left. Next, the magic com must be dried. In addition to using a cloth or towel, the magic com can be dried in direct sunlight so that it dries perfectly to the inside.

When dried, it not only makes the magic com dry, but also helps evaporate the remaining unpleasant aromas in it that are still left behind. That's why this method is said to be effective by Kak Three so that the cooked rice can smell fragrant and stay white.
"It's not damaged and will still work, guys, as long as it's really dry and the cable doesn't come into contact with water," he said.
