Brilio.net - When a rice cooker is used intensively, the heat generated can cause the body material to expand and become more susceptible to pressure . Even a light touch such as attaching a sticker to a heated surface can cause dents. This is because stickers often contain chemicals that can react with hot surfaces, weakening the rice cooker body material and making it more susceptible to dents.
Many people then choose to buy a new rice cooker. Or there are also those who immediately take it to a repairman. Both of these things are indeed very reasonable to do so that the cooking process also becomes smoother. But of course there are quite large costs that must be incurred.
Instead of spending money just to fix a dented rice cooker, there is a trick that can be done more easily. This trick will make the rice cooker smoother again like new. Well, a YouTube user MAKAN SEPORSI once revealed it further in one of the uploaded videos.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube MAKAN SEPORSI on Monday (16/12), the tool used is a glue stick. To be precise, he uses 5-6 sticks of glue sticks. Now, hold all of these glue sticks and burn the tip of the glue stick on the stove until it melts and is hot.

Next, stick the tip of the melted glue right on the outside of the dented rice cooker body. Press until the glue really sticks firmly and let it sit for a few seconds to dry enough. Then, pull the wax glue tightly while holding the rice cooker body with one hand.

When the glue is pulled, the body of the rice cooker that is dented inward will also be pulled outward. Now, if the body of the rice cooker returns to its original shape, immediately remove the wax glue using your fingernails slowly. Make sure your nails are dry so that the glue is easier to remove, okay?

Then to clean the remaining glue that sticks, you can continue to peel it off with your hands. Then wipe the rice cooker body with a tissue that has been given glass cleaner. This will make the remaining glue even more clean.
Maintaining the body of the rice cooker so that it does not dent requires special attention to daily use and maintenance. First, make sure to always place the rice cooker on a flat and stable surface. Avoid placing it in a narrow place or near the edge of the table, where the risk of falling or being hit is higher. A stable position reduces the possibility of the rice cooker being exposed to excessive pressure that can cause the body to dent.
Second, pay attention to usage habits that can damage the rice cooker body. Avoid attaching stickers or magnets to the surface of the rice cooker, especially when the appliance is hot. The chemicals in the stickers or glue can react with the hot surface and weaken the body material. Also, do not place heavy objects on top of the rice cooker, because the pressure from the object can cause dents in the body. If you need to move the rice cooker, lift it carefully and avoid hard impacts.
