The high intensity of using a rice cooker has the potential to make this piece of furniture dirty.

Brilio.net - A rice cooker is a type of automatic rice cooker. Previously, rice cookers could only be used to cook rice. But now, rice cookers also have lots of features that make them more multifunctional. So apart from cooking rice, a rice cooker can also be relied on to warm rice or even cook other food ingredients.

The many functions of this rice cooker make it used more often, even almost every day. Well, the high intensity of using a rice cooker has the potential to make this piece of furniture dirty. However, the part that is often cleaned is usually only the pan or inner pot. However, other rice cooker components also have the potential to become dirty or even crusty if they are not cleaned regularly.

Well, one component of a rice cooker that is prone to getting dirty is the inside. More precisely, at the base of the rice cooker which is round. This part radiates heat and is prone to getting dirty because it is crusty.

To clean the crust, a number of people tend to rely on toothpaste. So, the crust stain will be smeared evenly with toothpaste, then the area will be scrubbed. After all, this method can make the crust lift easily.

But instead of using toothpaste, you can actually use other, more effective cleaning agents. A TikTok user @sabakimia_ once shared this material through one of the uploaded videos. Well, the cleaner in question is not soap, you know, but made from kitchen ingredients.

Reported by BrilioFood on Friday (2/2), the kitchen ingredients used were baking soda and cooking vinegar. Well, these two ingredients can be used to remove even stubborn stains. One of them looks like a crusty burnt spot on the bottom of the rice cooker.

So, the first thing to do is prepare a small bowl. Then put enough baking soda and vinegar into the container. Stir until smooth and foamy.

Next, apply this material to the crusty bottom of the rice cooker. For maximum results, let it sit for a few minutes so that the cleaning agent absorbs into the crust stains and becomes soft.

If so, rub the crust stains with a dishwashing sponge (the rough part). Because the crust has softened, it will be easier to remove. However, if there is still a thick crust that is difficult to clean, you can add more to the mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Then continue rubbing until it is completely clean.

Finally, wipe the base of the rice cooker with a soft dishwashing sponge so that the remaining cleaning fluid and scale can be removed. Then, wipe again with a clean, dry tissue. That way, the appearance of the rice cooker will be shinier because it is stain-free.

Apart from the basic part, don't forget to clean other parts of the rice cooker, such as the lid and outer body. So, the overall cleanliness of the rice cooker will affect the results of rice cooked with this equipment. A clean rice cooker tends to make the cooked rice more fragrant, delicious, and doesn't go stale quickly, you know.
