Be sure to clean it in time!

Cover the top rubber ring
Many people will find a black viscous substance hidden inside the rice cooker when they lift the seal. This is because the rice soup and vegetable soup remaining in the sealing ring will produce a lot of bacteria and mold!
They will contaminate the food by flowing the distilled water down the rubber ring when you lift the lid the next time you open the lid.
✅ I recommend washing it like this
Detachable version: Remove it, turn both sides of the rubber ring over and wash it.
Non-detachable version: Wipe with a cotton swab dipped in baking soda and white vinegar to remove stubborn dirt.
·
Jet port
The vent often overflows with rice soup, and if not cleaned in time, it will produce Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Staphylocobacterium aureus, and Aspergillus flavus, a first-class carcinogen.
If you also use a rice cooker to stew meat, the spilled vegetable soup and oil stains will create a more complex colony environment, and the oil stains may also clog the air vent, and in the case of a high-pressure rice cooker, this situation can even cause an explosion.
✅ I recommend washing it like this
Remove all the parts that can be removed (such as hole caps, steam hole rubber rings), wash and wipe dry.
·
Electric hot plate
When serving rice, it is easy to accidentally drop food residues, water and rice soup onto the electric heating plate, which will cause the electric heating plate to turn yellow and black for a long time, forming a thick layer of dirt, which will damage the performance of the rice cooker.
✅ I recommend washing it like this
Use a small brush dipped in baking soda or professional detergent, clean along the lines of the electric plate, and wipe with a semi-dry soft cloth after cleaning.
Note: When cleaning the hot plate, it must be powered off and not soaked in water, otherwise it may cause a short circuit and may be electrified.
·
Anti-spill box
Some rice cookers are also equipped with a water storage box to prevent spillage, which can become moldy if not washed, and sometimes cockroaches and other insects can get into the water storage box, which is terrible.
✅ I recommend washing it like this
Don't wait for the anti-overflow box to be full!!

Use Rice Cooker Tips
In addition to cleaning the rice cooker, there are also some tips that we need to pay attention to when using them in our daily life.
·
Wash and dry before covering
After using and cleaning the rice cooker, it is best to open the lid and let it dry in a clean and ventilated place for a period of time before covering the lid. Otherwise, the damp interior environment may still harbor bacteria and mold.
·
The high-pressure rice cooker should not clog the jet port
A high-pressure rice cooker is also a pressure cooker, and if the jet port is blocked, it can explode within a few minutes, which is very dangerous.
So, don't be afraid of splashing the soup and put a towel on it, and don't put anything on the top lid during use. Before using this rice cooker, read the instructions carefully.
·
Turn off the insulation and unplug the power at the same time
The heat preservation function of the rice cooker is very useful, but remember to unplug the power after use, and never leave the warmer on.
·
Do not damage the liner coating
When washing the inner tank, try not to use hard materials such as steel wool balls, otherwise it is easy to damage the coating, causing harmful substances to leak, and then affecting health. If you find that the lining coating is broken, be sure to replace it in time.
