@sentientdessert Don't scrub with anything tougher than a dawn sponge, the surface scratches easily with tougher scrubbers but the trick is to empty the pot as soon as the rice is cool enough to be removed and fill to the brim with hot water for about ten minutes. The rice and starch inside comes right off with a sponge pretty easily. If you rinse your rice before cooking it, it cleans up so much easier.

@sentientdessert The cooking pot itself is removable so you can soak it in hot water after use without getting moisture on the working pad and settings panel. I highly recommend it. Two cups of rice under twenty minutes is always a win.
