Heat-resistant silicone pad designed for use in rice cookers to prevent burns and scalding on lids and inner surfaces. Reusable and odor-neutral: does not absorb or transfer flavors, helping cooked food stay fresh and flavorful after multiple uses. Effective steam control: a calibrated vent area regulates steam flow so foods do not soak up excess water and retain their intended texture. Safe and durable: made from heat-resistant silicone that resists shrinking and deformation during normal use. Key benefits — why you need it Prevents hot splatter and scald marks on your rice cooker, extending the life and appearance of the appliance. Keeps rice, porridge and steamed foods from becoming waterlogged, preserving texture and taste. Reusable and easy to clean, reducing single-use waste and maintaining kitchen hygiene. Performance and compatibility Function: controls steam and prevents boil-over and scalding inside rice cookers. Material: heat-resistant silicone for repeated use and stable performance under cooking temperatures. Durability: built to resist shrinkage and deformation so it stays effective over time. Suitable for use in rice cookers (placed on or near the lid/inside as intended). Practical use scenarios 1) Cooking rice or porridge: place the pad to reduce boil-over and keep grains from absorbing excess water, resulting in well-textured rice or congee. 2) Steaming vegetables or dumplings: use the pad to moderate steam flow so delicate items remain tender without becoming soggy. 3) Reheating leftovers in the rice cooker: avoid concentrated steam contact that can dry or over-moisten foods, preserving flavor and consistency. Care and handling Rinse or wash with warm soapy water after use; silicone is easy to clean and reuse. Keep away from direct open flames and extremely sharp objects to maintain pad integrity. Store flat or laid on a clean surface to avoid misshaping. This silicone pad delivers safer, cleaner, and more consistent cooking results for rice cookers while being reusable and simple to maintain.
