If you've ever cooked rice on the stove, then you know that it has a tendency to stick to the pot - and sometimes even burn. This can be especially frustrating if you're using a rice cooker, since it's not always easy to clean burnt rice off of the cooking plate. Fortunately, there are a few simple tricks that you can use to get your rice cooker looking like new again.
One of the simplest ways to remove burnt rice from a cooking plate is to simply let it soak in some soapy water. Just fill up your sink with warm water and add some dish soap, then let the cooking plate soak for 15-20 minutes. After soaking, the burnt rice should come right off when you scrub it with a sponge or brush.
If the above method doesn't work, or if your burnt Rice is particularly stubborn, then you can try making a paste out of baking soda and water. Simply mix together equal parts baking soda and water until you have a thick paste, then spread it over the burnt area of the cooking plate. Let the paste sit for 15-20 minutes before scrubbing it off with a sponge or brush; again, the burnt rice should come right off.
Finally, if all else fails, you can always resort to using harsh chemicals like oven cleaner or CLR (calcium lime rust remover). However, these chemicals can be dangerous to use and should only be used as a last resort; be sure to follow all safety instructions carefully if you decide to go this route.
So there you have it - three simple ways to clean up any burnt Rice residue from your cooking plate. Just remember that patience is key; letting the soapy water or baking soda paste do its job for at least 15-20 minutes will make cleanup much easier (and less frustrating!)
