Taiwanese rice cooker face mask sterilization
Step 1
​
Place the inner pot rack inside the bottom of the rice cooker, followed by the inner pot on top of the rack.
Step 2
​
NOTE:
1. DO NOT add any water inside the pot.
2. Face masks need to be opened up and placed flat.
​
Place up to THREE face masks at at a time inside the pot. Lay them out like playing cards: staggered and fanned out.
Step 3
​
Press the ON button. Which is also the "cook" button–– on old school versions, you press the button down.
​
Wait for about 3 minutes, the ON button should automatically pop up. This will put the cooker in "KEEP WARM" mode.
​
Keeping the lid covered, wait 5 minutes and let the hot air inside continue to disinfect the masks.
Step 4
​
Your masks are sanitized! Open the lid up and enjoy your mask.
​
Other notes:
1. Only sanitize your next batch of masks AFTER the rice cooker has completely cooled down.
​
2. For disposable masks, it is recommended that you only disinfect with this method between 3–5 times, then discard. (For cloth masks, I recommend giving it a good wash in the washer after 3 times using this method!)
​
3. Don't forget: only THREE masks maximum inside the pot at a time!
