What are the precautions for steaming rice in an electric steamer?

1, pay attention to the times of rice washing.

Don't wash rice more than three times. After more than three times, the nutrition in the rice will be greatly lost, and the aroma of steamed rice will also be reduced. In fact, rice doesn't need to be washed. It only needs to be stirred and cleaned by hand once or twice to remove the dust on the surface, and then gently rubbed by hand once.

2. Don't wash rice with hot water.

Many people will like to wash rice with hot water, which is actually wrong. Hot water washing rice has a certain oxidation effect, which will make rice lose certain nutrients.

3. Pay attention to the amount of water added

Many people don't care how much water is added to the rice. The rice made in this way is either too hard or too soft. Therefore, if the steamed rice wants to be delicious, it is necessary to correctly calculate the amount of water added. If steamed white rice is used, the grain size of rice is 1.2 ~ 1.4 ~ 1, which is usually 2 ~ 4 cm higher than the rice height. If coarse grains such as sorghum, millet or purple rice are added to the rice, appropriate amount of water should be added, because the draft of coarse grains is deeper.

4. You can't boil the pot immediately after steaming.

It is wrong to boil the pot as soon as the rice is steamed. At this time, although the rice is cooked, the surface layer is very thin and the bottom of the pot is tightly attached to the bottom of the rice. Keep the temperature for five minutes after heating, then unplug the power and stew the rice for another five minutes. This kind of rice tastes better and is not easy to stick to the bottom of the pot.

5, pay attention to safety

During the operation, people should not leave at will. If they leave, they must leave without electricity. When the electric steamer fails, turn off the power first, and then check the failure. Because the electric steamer is a metal shell, there may be short circuit and leakage, so it is best to ask professionals to repair it if it fails.
