    When I cook rice in Electric rice cooker it sticks to the base of the cooker.

    I am thinking about coating it with little oil.

    Any tried tested remedies there ? Could it be because the coating has worn out a bit on the base ?


    Also I would like to know, when food sticks to non-stick pans, what can we do. A friend of mine suggested brushing the base with oil or spraying oil, which helps to some extent. How do you all prevent food sticking to base while frying ? And while we wash them, one cannot scrub, so what can we do ?


    Thank you ladies :)

    yes...it always happens atleast after a few months of usage..All these days I have been blaming myself for not maintaining the stuff...but ..hey now I understand that it is happening for everybody...

    As a solution I keep water in the nonstick vessel...keep rice to be cooked in another vessel that would fit in ...and cook ..keeping an eye...

    This is working for me so far...although I need to be eyeing around...better than changing my cooker every year...

    Pls let me know if u find any solution...

    I used same the idea of your friend, ie brushing the base with oil. It helps a bit.

    While you wash, put some water and leave it for sometime, and use PLASTIC item to scratch the residue.

    The reason you have told for sticking is correct, I noticed this, When my cooker was brand new, no sticking. Once the coating has gone, started sticking.

    Keep cooking, Keep Sticking and Keep cleaning !!!!Harhar

    hi,

    even iam using a electric rice cooker for years, it happens normally. but using correct quantity of water and adjusting the timings accordingly would help a little bit.

    Dearmost Meens
    Sorry to hear these cooking problems. I can share what has worked fo rme.
    I use electric cooker for rice. the trick is to use correct measurements. also I switch off once its cooked and do not let it goto warm mode. If I need to keep in warm mode for pulao etc.. I spray oil in bottom.
    For milk kheer and pongal I rarely cook directly in cooker. I use vessel inside cooker.
    But those times that I have used directly, I switch off on time, make sure there is adequate liquid etc.
    Hope these help:)

    Hi
    Using my Electric rice cooker from past 2 yrs + , never had problem , I think Add right amount of water is a must , mine sometimes it will be in warm for almost 1 + hrs but never got burnt....

    my measurement for 1 cup of rice, Add double cups of water +1 cup more,

    For Ex: 2cups of rice, add 4 cups of water +1cup of water
