Rice cookers are a genuinely amazing invention since they allow us to save time while cooking rice pleasantly, swiftly, and easily.
But have you noticed that every rice cooker you buy includes a rice scoop? Even more unique, this spoon features small dots on its surface.
Can you tell what the little dots on the ladle are for? Is it to avoid sticking when stirring rice? If you believe this, you are greatly incorrect; the truth will make you tumble backwards.
If you often cook rice, you will find that, despite being covered with a nonstick coating, the rice grains readily adhere to the pot. Especially if you use sticky rice or leave it overnight.

When it cools, the rice grains will adhere closely to the pot’s walls. To clean the pot, you must first soak it in water, let the rice grains to loosen, and then scrub with a dishwashing sponge, correct? However, using a soft rag to scrape the pot would make it tough to clean. Using an iron brush will certainly ruin the nonstick coating.
At this point, the little spherical spots on the rice scoop will start to function. Pour water into the pot to soften the rice, then use the side with the round dots to gently massage the rice grains that adhere to the saucepan.

These circular dots are tougher than a soft cloth but less pointed than an iron pot cleaner, so they won’t scratch the pot. Just massage lightly and the sticky rice will come off. Finally, clean the rice cooker with a gentle towel, and you are finished.
