Friends who use rice cookers to cook porridge pay attention. If the rice cooker used is capable of cooking porridge, pour the ingredients and add water and close the lid to cook. If it is a traditional rice cooker, just press the cooking button, but the lid cannot be closed. Use a chopstick to put it between the lids and leave a gap to prevent the porridge from boiling.
