Wipe this place on the rice cooker
1. Rice cooker drain valve:
The first place you need to clean is the drain valve of the rice cooker. This is one of the dirtiest and most bacteria-prone places. The steam valve is both a place to catch the foam that overflows when cooking and to help release steam. Over time, this position is very easy to get dirty. Therefore, you need to clean this place regularly.
Depending on the design of the pot, you can remove the steam valve to clean it.
Most steam valves are removable, so you just need to remove it and wash it under clean water, then dry it and reassemble the pot.
This way, the pot will be clean and the cooked rice will be delicious and not spoiled for a long time.
2. Inner lid of the rice cooker:
Similar to the steam valve, the inner lid of the rice cooker also has the effect of preventing foam from overflowing during cooking. If left for a long time, they will accumulate dirt. When left at high temperatures, hot and humid weather, this dirty part will become moldy, producing bacteria that affect the rice.
The inner lid of the rice cooker is very easy to see stains, so you just need to regularly remove them and wash them, dry them and then reinstall them.
In addition, pay attention to wiping the rubber gasket on this inner lid.
Some pots have a lid that cannot be removed, so you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
3. Heating plate:
The heating plate is something that many people do not pay attention to when cleaning the pot. It is the hard disk that cushions the bottom of the pot and the pot.
To ensure durability and avoid wasting a lot of electricity when using the pot, clean the heating plate regularly. How to clean the heating plate is as follows:
Prepare some white vinegar, a dishwashing sponge and a wet towel.
Dilute the vinegar with water.
Use the hard side of the sponge to wipe away stains on the heating plate. After wiping, you can soak the heating plate with vinegar again and leave it for about 10 minutes.
Use a wet towel to wipe off the dirt.
If there are still stains, repeat the above steps one more time.
Finally, use a dry towel to wipe the entire heating plate clean and dry.
Note, do not wash the pot body directly with water; do not disassemble and change components when cleaning the pot.
For the pot, do not rub too hard to scratch the non-stick coating.
You can clean the pot like this a few times a month to ensure the pot is always clean.
