The rice cooker is an indispensable household appliance in the home. It can help us easily steam a pot of good rice, greatly saving our time and energy. However, although it is only a small household appliance, in addition to the details that need to be paid attention to when purchasing, there are also some energy-saving and time-saving tips in use. Let me introduce them to you one by one below.

After using the rice cooker, it is best to store it on the table to prevent dust from entering the bottom of the rice cooker. Do not place the rice cooker in the kitchen or in a place where it is easily splashed by water, so as not to affect the safety of the rice cooker. During use, you should also ensure that the inner pot of the rice cooker and the electric heating plate are clean to avoid water spots, rice grains and other debris, which will affect the cooking effect and may burn out the components in serious cases.

After buying a high-power rice cooker, be sure not to let it share a combined socket with other electrical appliances, as this will result in insufficient socket capacity, causing the power cord to overheat and create a dangerous situation. After using the rice cooker, be sure to unplug it from the socket. Usually, rice cookers have an automatic keep-warm function. After plugging in the power supply, the rice cooker will be in a keep-warm state even if it is not in the cooking state, resulting in a waste of electricity.

Rice cookers are a common household item and many families use them almost every day. Although rice cookers do not consume as much electricity as large household appliances, as the saying goes, a little bit of energy adds up, and frequent use should not be underestimated in terms of energy consumption.

First of all, when cooking rice, it is best to wash the rice and soak it in clean water for about 15 minutes before putting it in the pot. This can greatly shorten the cooking time and the cooked rice will be particularly fragrant.

Secondly, make full use of the residual heat of the electric heating plate. When the rice soup in the rice cooker is boiling, you can turn off the power switch for 8 to 10 minutes, make full use of the residual heat of the electric heating plate, and then turn on the power. When the red light of the rice cooker goes out and the yellow light comes on, it means that the rice in the pot is cooked. At this time, you can turn off the power switch and use the residual heat of the electric heating plate to keep it warm for about 10 minutes.

Avoid peak hours. For rice cookers of the same power, when the voltage is 10% lower than its rated value, the power usage time will be extended by about 12%. It is best not to use or use less during peak hours.
