Brilio.net - Rice cookers are a mainstay in the kitchen because of their practical function in cooking rice and keeping the temperature warm. However, daily use makes rice cookers prone to dirt, especially if leftover rice sticks and dries on the surface of the pan. Improper cleaning can damage the non-stick coating and make rice stick easily when cooked.
In addition to cooking rice, rice cookers are also often used for frying by boarding house children who want practical cooking. Unfortunately, this use can cause burnt crust to stick to the rice cooker pan. If left too long, this crust becomes increasingly difficult to clean and risks damaging the pan's coating.
YouTube account owner Karmin Peta shares an effective trick to clean burnt crust on a rice cooker pan without damaging the non-stick coating . He often uses a rice cooker for frying, which causes the pan to turn black due to the crust that sticks.

He explained that one way to remove this crust is by using hot water and lemon juice. Lemon is known to be effective in dissolving fat and food residue that sticks to the surface of the pan.
Its acid content is able to break down stubborn stains without damaging the non-stick layer. The more lemon juice used, the more maximum the results.

After adding the lemon juice, place the fruit into the rice cooker pot. The pot is left for about three hours to soften the burnt crust. This soaking process is intended to make cleaning easier without having to scrub too hard.

After soaking is complete, the pot can be washed with soap as usual. Rinse with clean water until there is no lemon or soap residue left. This way, the burnt crust will be gone without having to worry about damaging the surface of the rice cooker pot.
This method is a practical solution for anyone who wants to keep their rice cooker clean without the need for harsh chemicals. In addition to being environmentally friendly, using lemon is also safer because it does not leave harmful residue on the cookware. The rice cooker can be clean again and ready to use without the risk of sticking or burning while cooking.
