Brilio.net - Rice cookers are one of the household items that are used almost every day. Considering its use for cooking rice, it becomes more practical. Moreover, the resulting rice is also fluffy and perfectly cooked.
Even so, using a rice cooker is not free from problems. One problem that many people often experience is that the inside of the rice cooker pan is filled with crusty grains of rice.
Knowing this, a number of people deliberately soak the rice cooker pan in hot water. To make the crust soft, the rice cooker pan is usually soaked overnight.
However, if you are in a hurry, this method is not effective. Instead, you can imitate the method of TikTok user @laperstory. At the beginning of the video, he shows the appearance of his rice cooker pan which is filled with rice crusts.

Because it will be used to cook rice again, the rice cooker pan must be cleaned. Unfortunately, cleaning the remaining grains of rice that have hardened is a difficult job. Instead of soaking it in hot water, he apparently has his own method.
First, put the pan back into the rice cooker. Then pour water into it until it covers the entire rice crust.

If so, close the rice cooker. Plug the rice cooker into electrical power then press the "cook" button. Yes, the water is deliberately cooked in the rice cooker so that all the crust that sticks to it can come off by itself.

After cooking for a while, unplug the power plug and open the rice cooker. Then stir the inside of the rice cooker pan using a rice ladle. Because it has been boiled with water in a rice cooker, the rice crust seems to have fallen off by itself.
"This is what takes a long time, stir it to make sure (make sure) all the rice crusts are gone," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @laperstory on Friday (2/2).

If so, discard the water in the rice cooker pan. For maximum cleanliness, the rice cooker pan can be washed using dish soap as usual. Finally, rinse the rice cooker pan until clean. As a result, there is no longer a crust of leftover rice sticking to it.
