Rice Cooker – Common Questions

In this blog, we will answer a number of frequently asked questions about rice cooking. Let us introduce the Instant Rice Cooker as a new essential gadget for any kitchen looking to move away from the hob while ensuring consistent rice and perfectly steamed veggies.

Can you cook rice in an air fryer?
Cooking rice in an air fryer is possible, but it may not yield the best results according to Tilda. The process involves straining the rice, preheating the air fryer, cooking the rice covered in a cake tin for 25 minutes, then letting it dry and fluffing it with a fork. However, traditional methods like boiling or steaming may be more reliable for cooking rice evenly and achieving the desired texture.

It’s best not to attempt cooking rice in the air fryer, as adding water or liquid to the cooking chamber contradicts safety advice from the product manual. Stick to traditional methods like boiling or steaming for cooking rice. For more information on cooking with an air fryer, please refer to our product manuals.
