And we think it is of utmost importance that proper care needs to be taken while using this appliance, to increase its longevity as well as use it safely enough. As we always do we will, in today’s blog, share some tips to use your rice cooker effectively and make it last longer. The first and foremost thing and of utmost importance is cleanliness. It is imperative for every appliance we use in our homes, more so for the rice cookers. Always keep the lid and the inner parts of the rice cooker clean. Cleaning the inner parts will not only make it last longer and keep it rust-free, but it will also ensure that the rice cooker remains odor-free. A nice smelling rice cooker is a treat, isn’t it? But keep in consideration that while you clean it from the inside, do not scratch the surface with sharp objects to get rid of any stains. Instead, you can use warm water and dishwashing soap to soften the stain up, and then you can remove it accordingly. After the cooker is clean, we need to dry it thoroughly before it can be used again. Another mistake we often tend to repeat is keeping the rice cooker plugged in while we have taken the pot out. Do not do that - keeping the electric supply running while there is no pot or the pot is empty will eventually damage the rice cooker severely. It is also important to keep the instruction manual into consideration while you use the rice cooker. We should at all times follow the instructions given therein. For example, we should always use the water as per the mark in the rice cookers, for smaller or larger quantities of water might spoil your food and also prove to be detrimental to the health of the rice cooker. There is another important aspect to the use of rice cookers, and that is safety! Your safety and the safety of the appliance. You should never keep the rice cooker on a water-based surface to avoid an electric shock, which will obviously be dangerous for you and might cause some substantial damage to the rice cooker as well. Also, we should always ensure that the food is taken out of the rice cooker promptly after it is cooked. Keeping food in the cooker for a longer period of time might encourage bacterial growth, affecting your health in the longer run. Have any further questions regarding rice cookers?
