Cooking Tips: What to Do When the Cooked Rice in the Rice Cooker/Pot Spoils Easily?

If you're new in the kitchen, there might come a time that you might encounter that the cooked rice in the rice cooker or in the pot where you cooked your rice spoils easily. It may be because of the hot weather  when you put your rice at room temperature. Or you forgot to put the rice in the refrigerator and let it in the room for a day or two or more than that.

One tip that I heard is that you put salt in the rice cooker/pot, but honestly, this tip I haven't personally tried. What I did was to scrub the pot thoroughly with soap and water then put on bleach let it sit for a few minutes and rinse. It did the trick some time but I found out that you have to do this again and again.

Consistent warm temperature makes bacteria proliferation easier. And that's why rice spoils easily. I realized that since bacteria is the problem, why not try to eradicate the problem? Since bleach might not necessarily worked every time, I thought why not try to put the pot in the gas burner and heat it up until it becomes piping hot?

I was ecstatic to learn that it worked! You won't have to do this technique over and over. That is only when you feel the need to, when your rice spoils easily.
