Soak the inner pan full of water for a bit before washing it out. This helps to prevent any rice grains from drying out and making it difficult to remove, or even scratching your pan.

When you wash the inner pan, take some time to remove the inner lid and steam vent cap (if you have one), and give it a quick clean. These parts are easy to access and remove.

Wiping the exterior housing with a damp cloth will go a long way toward keeping your rice cooker looking great on your counter. Never use strong detergents or abrasives.

Sometimes rice grains or food remnants can get trapped under the inner pan, near the heating plate. Take care to check periodically before it burns and becomes difficult to remove.
