Brilio.net - Rice cookers are generally used to cook rice. But quite a few people use it to cook other dishes, such as making dimsum, steamed buns, fried rice, and various stir-fries.
But because it is used frequently, rice cookers can become dirty, you know. Usually leftover rice or cooking can stick to the sidelines of the rice cooker. Not only that, the heating element in the rice cooker is also blackish because it is burnt.
Most people solve this problem by rubbing the bottom of the rice cooker with toothpaste. After rubbing for a while, just wipe the base of the rice cooker using a wet tissue. As a result, the rice cooker looks shiny again.
If you don't want to use toothpaste, you can copy the trick shared by TikTok user @tokounik26. In the video upload, the owner of this account appears to only rely on one food ingredient to remove burnt spots on the bottom of the rice cooker. Curious about how?
At the beginning of the video, he shows the basic appearance of his rice cooker. According to him, this condition occurs because when you want to cook rice, the rice is immediately washed in a rice cooker pan, not in another container. If this habit continues, the elements at the base of the rice cooker could become rusty, you know.

"This is the part that often burns quickly," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @tokounik26 on Tuesday (19/3).
Interestingly, instead of rubbing the bottom of the rice cooker with toothpaste, he actually mixed citrus with one food ingredient, namely lemon juice. For a ratio of 1:1.
Mix the two ingredients in a bowl. If so, dip the used toothbrush into the cleaning solution that has been made. Then rub an old toothbrush all over the bottom of the rice cooker. Do this until all the dirt is gone and nothing remains.

Do this process repeatedly to ensure there is no remaining dirt or cleaning solution at the bottom of the rice cooker. As a result, the base of the rice cooker is clean and shiny again.

Tricks for storing rice in a rice cooker so that it doesn't dry out for a long time.
There are several tricks you can try to store rice in the rice cooker so it doesn't dry out:
1. Choose a rice cooker with the "Keep Warm" feature.
A rice cooker equipped with a "Keep Warm" feature will help keep the rice moist after cooking. Once the cooking process is complete, the rice cooker will automatically switch to this mode to keep the rice warm and moist.
2. Add a little water.
Once the rice has finished cooking, add a little water to the rice cooker before closing the lid. This water will help keep the rice moist when stored.
3. Close the rice cooker tightly.
Make sure the rice cooker lid is closed tightly after cooking the rice. This will help prevent excessive evaporation which can make the rice dry.
4. Don't leave the rice in the rice cooker for too long after cooking.
If the rice is cooked and not eaten immediately, immediately transfer the rice to an airtight storage container or a container with a tight-fitting lid to maintain moisture.
5. Use a wet towel.
You can also place a wet towel over the rice cooker cover after turning it off. This will help keep the steam inside the rice cooker and prevent the rice from drying out.
By following one or more of the tricks above, you can help keep rice moist when stored in the rice cooker.
