Brilio.net - Rice is a staple food that is often chosen in various situations, including when having a picnic with a large family. Rather than buying rice at a restaurant, many people prefer to bring rice from home. To bring rice in large quantities, a large container is needed, and a thermos is often the main choice. This thermos is specially designed to maintain the temperature of food, so that the rice stays warm without the need for electricity. In addition to picnics, traders also often use thermoses to store rice .
However, storing rice in a thermos can be problematic. Rice can become watery and moist, which makes it go stale quickly within a few hours. In addition, rice can also become dry if stored in a thermos for too long. To overcome this problem, you can try a simple trick from a YouTube user named Dapur Moochies TV. In one of his videos, he shares a trick to keep rice fresh when stored in a thermos.
"I will provide information about tips for storing rice so that it doesn't dry out, doesn't go stale, and lasts. So you can cook it in a magic com or on the stove," said the owner of YouTube Dapur Moochies TV, as quoted by BrilioFood , Wednesday (29/1).

Cooked rice should be placed on a wide tray. After that, let the rice be exposed to the wind for a while. This will keep the rice from getting damp and will last longer.

If the rice is no longer moist, put it in a thermos. Before closing it, place a clean cloth or napkin on the very top. Then cover it with the thermos lid. This cloth will absorb the remaining steam on the rice that is still warm.

That way, the steam will not fall again onto the rice which has the potential to make it wet and stale. In addition to preventing steam from falling, using this cloth can also help maintain the temperature inside. So that the condition of the rice will remain warm and not dry all day.
Furthermore, YouTube user Dapur Moochies TV also explained about things that affect the condition of rice stored in a thermos. Through the comments column, he admitted that the condition of the rice and the cooking process can also affect the shelf life of rice.
"In my experience, rice steamed in a steamer lasts longer than in a magic com. It depends on the rice and the water content. If it's in a steamer, God willing it's good. But if it's in a magic com, you have to check it often because the condition of the equipment, rice, and weather are also different. However, if it's stored well and aired until it's cold before putting it in a thermos, the rice should work," he explained further.
