Common Issues with Large Capacity Electric Rice Cookers
A 1.8L rice cooker is typically for large families (4 – 6 people) or those with a big appetite. Therefore, the amount of rice cooked is also large. Compared to smaller rice cookers like 1-liter or 1.5-liter ones, a 1.8L (or above 2L) cooker certainly has a larger size, but it still faces some common problems such as:
Rice burning or drying out:
This is especially common in cookers with small heating plates, because they have to cook a lot but the heat distribution is uneven, leading to some parts of the bottom heating up faster and drying out the water sooner, while the top surface remains moist. This is a not uncommon situation, making the home-cooked meal less delicious.
Peeling of the non-stick coating:
This is also common in cheap electric rice cookers, not necessarily large or small in capacity. There are many reasons for this, such as poor quality non-stick coating, burnt rice sticking firmly to the bottom of the pot making cleaning difficult…
Rapid rice spoilage:
Also due to the large amount of rice cooked, 1.8L rice cookers often encounter cases of rapid spoilage because the cooker cannot retain heat.
