How to Remove Burnt Rice From a Rice Cooker

If you’re cooking rice in a rice cooker but add too little water, the bottom might burn.

Here are some quick steps to remove burnt rice from the rice cooker.

  1. Prepare some vinegar to remove burnt rice from the bottom of your rice cooker.
  2. Fill your pot with enough water to cover the affected area, then add vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes.
  3. Use a scrub brush to remove the burnt rice, then rinse well and dry.

Let’s get into the details.

What kind of vinegar should you use?

There are a few different types of vinegar that can be used to remove burnt rice from a rice cooker, but the best one to use is white vinegar. White vinegar is very acidic and will break down the burnt rice quickly. It is also important to use vinegar that is not too strong, as this can damage the rice cooker.

How long should you let the vinegar and water mixture sit?

To remove burnt rice from a rice cooker, let the vinegar and water mixture sit for about 10 minutes.

What if the burnt rice is still there after you’ve tried vinegar and water?

If the burnt rice is still there after you’ve tried vinegar and water, don’t despair! Baking soda can be used to help remove it. Just add baking soda to the vinegar and water solution, and the acidity will help dissolve the burnt rice.

Is there anything else you should do to clean your rice cooker?

Cleaning your rice cooker is important to maintain its performance and longevity. There are a few things you can do to clean your rice cooker and keep it in top shape.

  • Unplug the rice cooker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
  • Wipe the exterior of the rice cooker with a damp cloth. Be sure to clean any areas that may have come into contact with food or liquids.
  • Remove the inner pot from the rice cooker and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly before returning it to the rice cooker.
  • If your rice cooker has a removable steaming tray or basket, remove it and wash it with warm, soapy water as well. Rinse well and dry thoroughly before returning it to the rice cooker

How can you prevent burnt rice in the future?

  • Make sure to rinse your rice before cooking it. This will remove any dirt or debris that could be on the grain and cause it to burn.
