How to Clean A Rice Cooker
Rice cookers are great for cooking rice perfectly every time, but they can be a little frustrating to clean, especially if it has been left for a few hours after cooking. In order to keep it in great condition, it is important to maintain and keep it clean on a regular basis.
Safety Precautions For Your Rice Cooker
Before cleaning your appliance, it is important to avoid any potential problems with a few simple precautions.
The primary consideration for any electrical appliance is to limit exposure to water. The electrical components of a rice cooker should be kept dry at all times. The element inside of the cooker is electrical and should also be kept dry.
Always wait an adequate amount of time for your rice cooker to cool down before cleaning.
General Cleaning Tips
Clean your rice cooker immediately after every use in order to maintain optimal condition.
Food that is left in the cooker will become more difficult to clean the longer that it remains. This could also potentially reduce the effectiveness of the rice cooker..
Avoid using any cleaning solutions on the cooker. There is potential that it could mix with your food.
Use a wet cloth or sponge to properly clean up any cleaning agents if you do use them.
Do not use metal utensils to remove food from the inside of the cooker. This can scratch the surface and make it even harder to clean in the future. The same goes for steel wool or abrasive sponges.
After everything is clean, make sure everything is totally dry before plugging it back in.
