Brilio.net - Rice cookers that are used every day have the potential to face problems. One common problem is the emergence of an unpleasant odor from the rice cooker. This usually occurs because the rice cooker has been used for a long time and is rarely cleaned thoroughly.
In fact, a rice cooker that emits an odor can cause other problems. When used to cook rice, a smelly rice cooker can affect the quality of the rice produced. The condition of the rice can turn yellow and even go stale quickly in just a matter of hours.
To prevent this, you need to know the tricks to overcome the unpleasant odor in a rice cooker that has been used for a long time. A YouTube user with the account ISB_CHANNEL once shared these tricks through his video titled 'OVERCOMING SMELLY RICE COOKERS AND RICE GOING STINKY QUICKLY'. In the video, several things are explained that need to be done to overcome the odor and prevent the odor from coming back.
To find out more, check out the following BrilioFood review which has been summarized from YouTube ISB_CHANNEL on Tuesday (10/12).
1. Check the power source.

The rice cooker plug should be properly installed in the main plug or socket. According to YouTube user ISB_CHANNEL, avoid plugging the power plug into a branching socket. Not without reason, the electric current in this branching socket tends to be unstable, making the rice cooker's performance less than optimal.
2. Remove any remaining water vapor.

At the back of the rice cooker there is usually a container to collect water vapor. When left too long, the dirt in this water will settle and smell. While the smell can absorb and contaminate the inside of the rice cooker if left too long.
3. Clean the inside of the rice cooker.

The smelly steam in the rice cooker usually seeps into the inside, such as the lid or the rubber layer of the rice cooker. Therefore, clean these parts by wiping them with a clean cloth. In addition to the lid, also clean the inside of the rice cooker with a cloth. Then to remove dirt or leftover rice crust, simply turn the rice cooker over.
"The inside too, usually the leftover rice settles and hardens, causing a smell or mold, so it has to be cleaned," said YouTube ISB_CHANNEL
4. Make sure there is no rice crust in the rice cooker.

Rice crust is not only left on the bottom of the rice cooker, but also in between the lid. Well, make sure that part is also free of dirt, okay? When cleaning it, you can use a pointed object to remove dirt and rice crust in that part.
5. Add pandan leaves when cooking rice.

Another way to neutralize the smell in a rice cooker is to add pandan leaves. When cooking rice, you can put in one cleaned pandan leaf. In addition to neutralizing the unpleasant smell in the rice cooker, pandan leaves also make the resulting rice more delicious and fragrant.
How, easy enough, right? Among the more than 1.6 million viewers, it turns out that there are many netizens who experience similar problems. This was also expressed by netizens through the comments column of the video.
