Before cooking rice, we need to wash the rice to remove dirt and grit mixed in the rice, helping to ensure the cleanliness and deliciousness of the finished product. Many people have the habit of putting rice in the rice cooker, adding water and washing directly. After pouring out the washing water, add enough water and cook.
However, washing rice directly in the rice cooker is not recommended. This is explained by a number of reasons:
– Damage the non-stick layer of the rice cooker
Currently, most rice cookers are coated with a non-stick layer to prevent rice from sticking to the pot. When washing rice directly in the pot, the rice grains rub and scratch the non-stick part. In the long run, the non-stick layer will peel off, making the rice easy to burn and stick to the pot. The peeled non-stick part mixed with the rice is also not good for health.
– Reduce the life of the pot
When washing rice directly in the pot, water can stick around this part. Many people directly put the pot into the shell and cook rice without wiping the outside of the pot dry. This can affect the life of the pot.
