Do you need to add water to heat rice in a rice cooker

You need to add the right amount of water.

The principle of rice cooker to heat rice and cook rice is actually similar, after all the water in the pot turns into steam, it will automatically jump from the heating state to the heat preservation state and stop heating.

If you don't add water, the rice cooker heats up for a very short period of time for safety reasons, and won't be enough to heat the rice completely.

How much water to add to heat rice in a rice cooker

Add about 50 milliliters or so of water, just enough to wet the rice at the bottom of the rice cooker's liner.

Too much water will easily cause the rice to become soggy and unpalatable; too little water will make the rice hard and unpalatable.

Adding about 50ml of water will allow the rice cooker to stop heating automatically 3-5 minutes after the steam is released, which is just the right amount of time for the rice to taste good.

How to steam rice in a rice cooker

Steaming rice generally means steaming it over water, while cooking rice means heating it directly, and here is the method of steaming rice rather than cooking it:

1. Wash the rice well, put it into a bowl (this bowl should be able to fit into the size of the inside of the rice cooker), add water, and the water level should be higher than a knuckle of rice.

2. Put about 2 knuckles of water in the inner pot of the rice cooker, put in the triangular stand, then put the bowl with rice on the stand, cover the lid and press the cook button.

3. 20 minutes after the steam, you can unplug the power, bored for a few minutes can open the lid. (This method needs to manually turn off the power)

What material is good for the inner liner of the rice cooker

Currently, the common inner liners on the market include aluminum alloy inner liner, stainless steel inner liner, composite multi-layer coating inner liner, ceramic inner liner and so on, let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages one by one:

1. Aluminum alloy inner liner: uniform heating, lower price, but the egg material can not be directly in contact with the food and need to be Brush the coating on the surface, but in many cases love, this layer of coating will be scraped off by external forces, after scraping off the exposed aluminum alloy is more prone to corrosion.

2. Stainless steel liner: strong, corrosion-resistant, do not have to worry about the coating off the problem, but cooking is easy to stick to the pot, cleaning trouble, and part of the low-cost stainless steel liner may not meet the national sanitation standards for eating utensils containers.

3. Composite multi-layer coating liner: is now one of the most common rice cooker liner, is processed from a variety of materials, is divided into the outer aluminum within the steel two-layer composite plate liner, outside the steel within the aluminum two-layer composite liner, steel, aluminum, steel, and three-layer composite liner and so on three.

4. Ceramics, alabaster liner: made of safe inorganic materials, very safe and healthy, and wear-resistant, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, good heat preservation, just easy to break, generally used to cook porridge, soup.
