Cooking rice in a rice cooker has become a daily routine for many people. However, one problem that often arises is the formation of rice crust on the bottom of this device. Hardened rice crust is not only difficult to clean, but is also often wasted because it is not suitable for consumption.
This rice crust problem can be caused by several factors. One of them is the use of water that is not in accordance with the measurements. Too much or too little water can cause rice to stick and harden at the bottom of the rice cooker. In addition, heating temperatures that are too high or cooking times that are too long also play a role in the formation of crust.
Unconsumed rice crusts certainly result in food waste. In fact, instead of being thrown away, rice crusts can actually be consumed if cooked again. But not just by adding water. Dried rice crusts need to be cooked in several stages so that they can be soft again and more suitable for consumption.
If you are confused, you can imitate the trick shared by Instagram user @waroengcobeksumoreang. Through one of the uploaded videos, the netizen claimed to be able to cook rice crust until the texture and taste are similar to freshly cooked rice.
Now, the steamed rice is soft again. You can immediately transfer it into a mesh bowl so that the steam quickly disappears and is not trapped. That way, the rice is ready to eat. The upload about this rice crust cooking trick has been watched more than 9 million times on Instagram. It is not surprising that many other Instagram users are interested and also provide direct responses in the comments column. Most of these netizens admitted that they had just found out about the trick. "It's better to dry it and then fry it with salt and MSG," said Instagram @thatetaa_. "I often do that, my rice is wasted," commented the Instagram account @naayanana391.
