My cheap $20 rice cooker went from crusty to brand new after one soak, and I still don't get how
Last Tuesday I finally soaked the pot in warm water and baking soda for 20 minutes after putting it off for like 8 months of burnt rice stuck to the bottom. The crust that I swore was permanent just slid right off with a sponge, no scrubbing, and the thing looks like I bought it last week. Is there some other kitchen tool I've been ruining by not soaking it sooner?
