Brilio.net - Who says cooking rice is complicated? Moreover, there is already a technology called a rice cooker. Modern rice cookers come with various types and sophisticated features that not only function to cook rice but can also be used to saut and steam cakes.
The pot is the main component of the rice cooker used in the cooking process. Many people often delay washing the rice cooker pot because the sticky rice residue on the bottom is difficult to clean. The common method is to soak the pot first until the remaining rice is easy to lift and clean.
An alternative method to clean sticky rice residue without soaking has been discovered and shared online. Ade Irma Oktaviani, a YouTube user, shows a quick way to clean a rice cooker pan on her channel. The cleaning technique shown is very efficient because it does not require a long soaking time so the cleaning process is faster.
"So there are no sticky marks anymore," said Ade Irma, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube/Ade Irma Oktaviani, Friday (4/4).
After the rice is finished, it is better not to rush to take the pan and unplug the power cord first. According to Ade Irma, let the pan stay hot while there is still sticky rice left in it. The lid of the rice cooker should also be left open to see the process. So when it is finished, you can immediately unplug the rice cooker to save electricity.

By leaving it like this, the sticky rice residue will eventually dry out due to the heat from the pan. So, when the rice starts to dry out, just lift it using a rice ladle. If all the dry rice residue has been lifted, you can turn off the rice cooker.

Next, the rice cooker pan can be cleaned in any way you want. In the video, the rice cooker pan is only wiped with a wet tissue. In addition, it can also be washed using water and soap as usual. With this trick, you don't have to bother scrubbing sticky rice residue or soaking it overnight, right?

This method is quite practical, because you don't need to waste hot water. The only downside is that you have to supervise the process so that the rice cooker pan doesn't burn.
Looking at the comments column, many netizens are enthusiastic about this trick. However, there are also those who prefer other ways to clean the rice cooker pan because they are considered less suitable. The upload about cleaning the rice cooker pan on YouTube/Ade Irma Oktaviani has been viewed tens of thousands of times.
"Sorry, sis, in my opinion dry rice will damage the Teflon coating faster. I never have sticky rice leftover because when I want to cook rice, I still brush the surface of the base with a little vegetable oil using tissue, not too much, the important thing is to brush it so the rice doesn't stick," explained YouTube/Rahmi Lubis.
"Sis, what if it's already been soaked all the time?" asked YouTube/Redmi 6A.
"Does it take long to dry the rice, miss? Does it waste electricity?" said YouTube/Safira Mustaqfir.
