how to use the rice cooker properly, durable
Rice cooker is an indispensable household electrical device in today's households, saving time to cook rice and integrates with many other functions. So GREEN Electronics will show you how to use the rice cooker properly, long-lasting that not everyone knows!
1.What to do when using a rice cooker
When using a rice cooker, you need to ensure that the following activities do correctly to maintain the durability of the rice cooker such as:
Dry around the outside of the pot
You use a clean towel to dry around outside the pot before putting it inside the rice cooker to cook. It will avoid water (stagnation outside the bank) evaporates and creates scorch marks that make the pot cover black, significantly affecting the durability of the heated tray.
Use both hands when placing the pot in the cooker
You should use both hands to put the pool inside the rice cooker and rotate gently so that the bottom of the collection is in even contact with the relay unit. It will avoid damaging the heat relay and help the rice to ripen more evenly, not live.
Good storage of thermal relays of pots
The thermal relay inside the rice cooker will help the rice to ripen better. Because the relay breaks too early, it will make the rice alive, and the relay is too late, the rice tends to burn.
Regularly clean rice cookers
The rice cooker is a daily cooking device, so after using it, you need to thoroughly clean the parts of the rice cooker, such as the pot, the outer shell of the rice cooker, the steam drain valve, and the excess water tray (if any)... to promptly remove dirty residues, to bring the best quality of cooking rice to the body.
Tightly close the lid of the pot when cooking.
You should tightly close the lid of the pot before pressing the button to cook the rice, help the rice cook evenly and ensure the safety of you and other members of the house from burns because steam can escape strongly.
Use the proper function.
The primary function of the rice cooker is to cook and reheat the rice. In addition, you can use it for cooking porridge and stew food (depending on the product) but not to fry food because most of the temperature of the rice cooker usually does not exceed 100 degrees Celsius.
It means that if you press the cooking button too many times to fry the cooked food, it makes the relay prone to ignorance and damage.
2 What not to do when using a rice cooker
In addition to the above notes, you should also avoid some things not to do when using the rice cooker that GREEN Electronics will clearly state right below:
Limit rice vomiting in the pot
Limit the vomiting of rice directly in the heart of the pot, as the anti-stick coating on the pool can be scratched during the rice vomiting process, affecting the quality of cooked rice and reducing the life of the rice cooker.
Avoid cooking acidic or alkaline dishes.
Mostly, the potting material make of aluminum alloy with an anti-stick coating. Therefore, if you cook regular alkaline or acidic dishes, it will make the pot heart more susceptible to erosion, even creating harmful compounds when absorbed into the rice and entering the body.
Press the "Cook" button several times
Some people have the habit of pressing the Cook button several times to create a layer of elder rice. It will make the relay more susceptible to ignorance and damage, affecting the next rice cooking.
Cooking on other types of stoves
The rice cooker uses rice cookers; you should not use the pot for cooking on other stoves such as infrared stoves, gas stoves, charcoal stoves, in-, etc... It will cause the bank to deform and reduce life expectancy, significantly affecting the quality of rice when you cook in the following times.
Aluminum alloy pots are coated with non-stick coating, should not be cooked on gas stoves in stoves,...
3 How to clean the rice cooker properly
Cleaning the rice cooker properly does not seem too difficult for us; you just have to follow these instructions:
Step 1: Remove all food from the pot
Step 2: Use a sponge to clean the pot
First, you need to coat the pot with water. Then, use a sponge that absorbs some soap to clean the pool; Finally, you wash the pot with clean water and drain.
Note: Only use a sponge so as not to scratch the non-stick coating inside the rice cooker.
Step 3: Clean the outer body and heat tray
You use a dry towel to wipe and lightly remove the grains of rice or stains on the heating tray and wipe the inside of the body of the rice cooker. In addition, with the outer side of the pot, you use a damp towel to remove stains (if any) more efficiently instead of dry towels.
Note: It is recommended to clean the pot’s body and the heating tray only after the device has cooled and should be left to dry before cooking the rice the next time.
4 Note when using a rice cooker
In summary, when using the rice cooker, you need to pay attention to some of the main problems as follows:
Do not remove and change the components of the pot: Because it affects the quality of cooked rice and product durability with incompatible features or inferior quality goods.
Do not clean the pot with complex objects: Avoid washing dishes made of steel and metal materials and use muscular force to clean the pool because it is easy to scratch the coating against sticking.
Do not place pots on wet floors: Household electrical equipment and rice cookers, in particular, you should not put in moist places and on wet feet, minimizing problems related to electrical issues that occur.
Place the rice cooker in well-ventilated, dry places
Use the voltage as recommended by the manufacturer: You should consult carefully and only use the voltage according to the manufacturer's regulations. Even consider using a different power outlet when using a rice cooker compared to other equipment.
Do not wash the pot’s body directly with water: The body of the pool consists of relay parts and heat trays; if washed directly with water will damage these parts, reduce the product life, and be dangerous for users when cooking rice.
Clean the body of the rice cooker with a dry towel
5Selection of long-lasting rice cookers
GREEN electronics will reveal to you some criteria to choose a rice cooker with long-lasting strength and good efficiency when using, specifically as follows:
Design, material rial of pot
The design of the ice cooker today is very diverse, depending on your preferences. In addition, you need to pay attention to the inner pot material, such as the potting material must be firm, good thermal conduction, not deformed and non-stick coating without scratches, peeling.
Capacity and capacity
Depending on the number of family members, you choose the appropriate capacity and capacity of the rice cooker:
- Less than two material rial people: choose a pot capacity of less than 1 liter, with a total of 300 - 400W.
- From 2 - 4 people: choose a pot capacity from 1 - 1.5 liters, with a total of 400 - 1200W.
- From 4 - 6 people: choose a pot capacity from 1.6 - 2 liters; the power ranges from 400 - 1200W.
- From 6 people or more: choose a pot capacity of more than 2 liters, with a total of 650 - 1200W.
Rice cooking technology
Each technology will affect the time of cooking rice and the quality of rice grains, such as:
- 1D cooking technology: Use one heat tray with a high capacity to cook rice quickly.
- 2D cooking technology: Use one heat tray and one sub-thermal resistance unit, helping the rice cook evenly around the bottom and into a saucepan.
- 3D cooking technology: Use one heat tray and two extra heat resistance parts, helping heat to be radiated evenly from many sides to make the rice grains ripen better, but it is quite a time-consuming to cook rice.
- High-frequency technology: Use word touch to heat the pot directly to help the rice cook evenly, porous, and keep warm effectively, but the price is relatively high.
Rice cooking technology by school helps rice seeds bloom evenly and moisturize well.
Included utility functions
In addition to cooking rice, the rice cooker is also equipped with many other parts such as boiling porridge, steaming, stewing, utilities such as timer, auto cooking, and keeping mode warm. Depending on the needs of the family, you choose a rice cooker with the accompanying utilities accordingly.
