What to do if the rice is not cooked

The rice cooker should be a very popular household appliance, and every household should have one. The main function of an electric rice cooker is to cook food, and these features save people’s cooking time. However, many people find that the rice cooked in the rice cooker is sometimes undercooked. Half-cooked rice is very uncomfortable to eat. Are there any solutions to this problem?

1. All undercooked

If the rice is not cooked properly, use chopsticks to make holes in the rice evenly, straight to the bottom of the pot. This way, the heat can penetrate the whole pot of rice. Finally, add some warm water and simmer it again.

2. Surface is undercooked

If only the surface of the cooked rice is raw, turn the raw rice to the middle, add a little warm water and simmer for a while. The amount of water to add depends on the amount of raw rice. If the surface is more raw, add more water. Otherwise, add less water. At the same time, you can use chopsticks to poke a few holes, which will have a better effect.

3. Partially raw

Poke a few holes in the raw part and add some warm water and continue to simmer. If you are not sure how much raw rice is, turn the whole pot of rice over and move the raw part on the surface to the middle. Add some warm water and continue to simmer until cooked.

4. Add rice wine

Add 2-3 spoons of rice wine to the rice, stir well and continue cooking. This can also eliminate the phenomenon of undercooked rice. Not only is the rice cooked thoroughly, but it also has the fragrance of rice wine and tastes more delicious. Note: People who are allergic to alcohol should not use this method

5. Add rice wine

If you don't have rice wine, you can add yellow wine. Pour the rice wine into the rice in a ratio of 100:1 and simmer until the smell of the rice wine evaporates. In this way, the rice is cooked and the smell of wine is gone.

What to do if the rice cooker often produces half-cooked rice

Why does rice often become half-cooked when cooked in a rice cooker over a long period of time?

This is mainly because the bottom of the inner pot is not heated evenly. At this time, you need to remove the debris at the bottom of the inner pot, such as fallen rice grains or other debris, so that the bottom of the inner pot can fit the electric heating plate.

You can also remove the electric heating plate to see if it fits the bottom of the inner pot. Spread a layer of 2-5 mm thick rubber on the table, put the inner pot upside down on the table, then put the electric heating plate on the bottom of the pot and rotate it left and right to see if it fits.

If you feel it doesn't match

You need to replace the inner pot or buy a new rice cooker.

If the rice is undercooked, it may be because you added too little water. When cooking rice, add water according to the amount of rice. Generally, the amount of water should be one finger joint higher than the amount of rice. If you really don't know how to control the amount of water, add water strictly according to the scale marked on the rice cooker. If it is undercooked, you need to simmer it again. The simmering time can be slightly longer to ensure that the rice is cooked thoroughly.
