What to do if the rice cooker sticks to the bottom

Generally speaking, today's rice cookers have a non-stick layer at the bottom. So it is not so easy to stick to the pan, of course there are exceptions. This situation may occur because the temperature control of the rice cooker is damaged. You must pay attention to the maintenance of the rice cooker at ordinary times, and do not use steel wool to scrub the bottom of the pot. Otherwise, the non-stick bottom of the pot will be damaged, which will cause the rice to stick to the pot. But it can be washed off with hot water.

The electric rice cooker is composed of a heating plate, a temperature limiter, a heat preservation switch, a lever switch, a current limiting resistor, an indicator light, a socket and the like. At the same time, it contains an aluminum alloy disc with an embedded electric heating tube. It is a heat conductor of our rice cooker, which can cook our food quickly. There is also a metal inner pot inside the rice cooker. The quality of this metal inner pot can directly determine whether our rice cooker will stick to the pot.

Reasons for rice cooker sticking

1. Nowadays, the material of most rice cookers is very good, and it basically won't stick to the pot. If it sticks to the pot, it may be that the temperature control thermistor is damaged, which can be replaced. If it is an integrated block, replace the integrated block;

2. Insufficient water added during cooking can also cause the rice cooker to stick. If this continues for a long time, it may shorten the life of the rice cooker.

3. Some people use steel wool to clean the inner pot of the rice cooker. This will damage the coating of the inner pot of the rice cooker, making the inner pot no longer smooth and causing it to stick.

What to do if the rice cooker sticks to the pot?

1. Make sure the amount of rice and water is the right amount, with the water level being one finger joint higher than the rice;

2. Pour a little salad oil into the rice cooker, let the rice soak for 15 minutes and then plug it in to cook. This will save electricity, make the rice more delicious, and won't stick to the pot.

3. After the rice cooker finishes cooking, do not open the lid immediately. Let it simmer for a while. When the power is just disconnected, the layer of rice at the bottom of the pot has been heated by the bottom of the pot, which is heated more than the top layer and is easy to get burnt.

4. When cleaning the rice cooker, do not use hard objects such as steel wool and spatula to scrape the inner pot of the rice cooker.

How to clean the rice cooker correctly

Do not use steel wool to scrub. After each meal, first beat up the leftovers, then soak them in water, and then gently scrub them with a soft cotton cloth.

When cleaning the inner pot, do not use it as a container for other tableware to avoid scratching the inner pot;

When steaming food, you should use a steamer specially designed for rice cookers. Do not put a stainless steel steaming rack into the rice cooker, otherwise the steaming rack may cause wear to the inner pot during the boiling process of the rice.
