Can an electric kettle cook rice dumpling

Electric kettles are generally not recommended for cooking rice dumpling. The electric kettle is mainly designed for boiling water. The mouth of rice dumpling may be blocked by sticky food or the heating may be uneven, which may lead to safety hazards.

The heating elements and internal structure of the electric kettle are optimized for rapid water boiling. The glutinous rice skin of rice dumpling is easy to adhere to the bottom or inner wall of the kettle during boiling, which may damage the heating elements or affect the temperature control function. The automatic power-off function of some electric kettles may fail because rice dumpling blocks the steam outlet, which may lead to dry burning risk. Rice dumpling stuffing contains sugar and oil, which may be burnt under high temperature to produce odor, and it is difficult to clean thoroughly.

If an electric kettle is used temporarily to boil a small amount of small rice dumpling, it is necessary to ensure that rice dumpling is completely immersed in water to avoid sticking. During the cooking process, it is necessary to manually monitor the entire process. After boiling, immediately turn off the power and use a soft cloth to clean any residue in the pot in a timely manner. However, long-term use of this method may shorten the service life of the kettle and even cause circuit failures.

It is recommended to use a special pot to cook rice dumpling, which can not only ensure uniform heating, but also avoid the risk of electrical damage. When cooking, it can be paired with ginger syrup or sweet scented osmanthus honey to enhance the flavor. When rice dumpling rises, turn to low heat and cook for two minutes to ensure that the filling is thoroughly cooked. When eating, pay attention to the weight control. Glutinous rice products are not easy to digest. diabetes patients and those with weak gastrointestinal function should take an appropriate amount of them. The remaining rice dumpling should be refrigerated and eaten as soon as possible, and thoroughly boiled when reheated.
