Brilio.net - Rice cooker is a tool for millions of people that is the mainstay of mothers at home. This tool is known to be practical, because you only need to put the washed rice and enough water into the pan, then set the cooking button on the rice cooker. After that, you only need to wait until the rice is cooked by itself. This convenience makes the rice cooker a very useful kitchen appliance for cooking.
However, this convenience is certainly accompanied by problems or damage. Usually, after the rice is finished, there will be some grains of rice that dry and form a crust on the bottom of the pan. This rice crust is often difficult to clean with just water and regular soap. This can be an additional job to deal with after cooking.
To overcome stubborn rice crust, many people choose to soak the rice cooker pan for several hours or even overnight. Another way is to collect some water in the pan and heat it in the rice cooker. In addition to these two methods, there is one additional trick that can be tried. This trick was shared by netizens on the Karmin Peta YouTube account and can be a practical solution for cleaning rice crust.
According to him, this method is much more economical because there is no need to turn on the rice cooker at all. The ingredients needed are also simple, first there is hot water poured sufficiently into the rice cooker pan.

Not only that, you also need half a lemon. Squeeze the lemon juice into the rice cooker pan. When there is no more lemon juice coming out, put the remaining pulp into the pan. Then, close the rice cooker and let it sit for a while.
"We just have to work on the other things for about 3 hours," explained the owner of the YouTube account Karmin Peta, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (18/9).
