Brilio.net - Rice cooker is one of the most frequently used kitchen appliances in everyday life. Its practicality and ability to cook rice perfectly make the rice cooker an irreplaceable tool. However, behind the convenience offered, the cleanliness of several components of the rice cooker is often overlooked, especially the base which is prone to burnt crust.
Burnt crust on the bottom of the rice cooker is a common problem that often occurs due to rice residue that sticks and burns during the cooking process. This burnt crust not only makes the rice cooker look dirty and unkempt, but can also affect the quality of the rice cooked. Burnt rice residue can produce an unpleasant odor and taste that is not good, thus reducing the enjoyment of the food served.
To keep the rice cooker clean and functioning optimally, it is important to clean all its components regularly. However, because the crust is considered quite stubborn, some people usually scrub it with a brush. This is considered to help remove stubborn burnt crust.
But instead of scrubbing it with a brush, you can use another more practical way to clean the crust on the bottom of the rice cooker. This method was once done by Instagram user @mami_khayra28. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted that she only relied on a few simple ingredients to clean the crust on the bottom of the rice cooker.

Next, spray this liquid directly onto the crusty bottom of the rice cooker . Immediately after spraying, rub it using a cloth. Do this process gradually and repeatedly until the crust is completely removed. The cleaning fluid will soften the crust, making it easy to clean even without brushing.
