How and how to wash the removable and non-removable cover of the multicooker?

Each owner of this convenient and multifunctional cooking appliance should know how to wash the multicooker lid. After all, even with quality and proper care of his bowl, after a while the finished meal may have unpleasant or unnecessary notes.

In most cases, the reason for this development of events is precisely ignoring the moment that the inside of the lid also needs to be washed regularly. Do not get upset ahead of time, there are several approaches to the processing of a functional surface that can normalize everything.

What to do if the cover is removed?

The easiest way is for owners of those models on which a removable cover is provided. In this case, it is enough to do the following:

• We take a neutral dishwashing gel, soft cloth, warm (but not hot) water.
• We dilute the gel in water, carefully rinse the problem surface with the resulting solution, taking care not to affect the place of fasteners and rubber borders. If necessary, you can leave the composition on the lid for a few minutes. It is strictly forbidden to soak the product, this may damage its mounting system.

Tip: The internal parts of the device are usually made of a material that is easily washed from all types of dirt, even grease. You only need to act immediately after using the device. If every time after cooking you wash not only the bowl of the product, but also gently wipe the inner surface of the lid, you will not even need to purposefully clean it.

• After reaching the desired result, wash off the soap foam from the surface. It is not recommended to apply the gel in its pure form on the material, it is then very difficult to completely remove it!
• We gently wipe the rubber inserts with a slightly damp cloth without detergent. Dry the part with a towel and put it back on the washed and dried multicooker.

Be sure to make sure that no fluid gets into the mounting system. Otherwise, this will lead to the accumulation of bacteria in this zone and even rapid damage to the material. If this is allowed, then you will have to purchase a new device, because restoring the old one will not be much cheaper.

What to do with a fixed cover?

To clean the model with a stationary cover, you have to suffer a little. You can do this in one of the following ways:

• With a steam bath. Pour a glass of water at the bottom of the appliance, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice into the liquid. Close the lid and start the unit for 15 minutes using the “Steam cooking” mode. Now the lid can be cleaned. To do this, it is enough to use the gel for washing dishes, but in order not to spoil the device, its body will have to be wrapped in cellophane and turned so that only the lid is cleaned. Be sure to wash off the foam from the surface and dry the treated areas with a towel as much as possible.

• Using household soap. For a more aggressive approach, we need to soap the wet rag with laundry soap and carefully treat the lid, being careful not to touch the rest of the parts. After we have managed to get rid of fat, take a clean rag, moisturize and rinse off the foam. This approach, although it gives an optimal result, has its minus - it will not be so easy to get rid of the smell of laundry soap.

In the case of extreme pollution, the above approaches can be combined. Even the most old dirt cannot stand up against this.

If cleaning the cover for a long time was neglected, then most likely fat accumulates behind the rubber inserts. To remove it, you can use toothpicks or cotton buds.It is only necessary to act carefully so that the sides, after processing, also fit snugly against the surface.
