The Instant Brands rice cooker is a versatile and convenient kitchen tool for preparing rice, soups, beans, and more. However, many people wonder if they can use an extension cord with their Instant Brands rice cooker to make it even more convenient to move around the kitchen. The answer is both yes and no. It depends on the type of extension cord you are using and how it is rated.
Here are some steps to follow when deciding whether or not to use an extension cord with your Instant Brands rice cooker.
Check the Wattage of the Rice Cooker: Look at the label on your instant pot or in the manual to find out how many watts your model uses.
Determine Required Extension Cord: Based on the wattage of your instant pot, determine what type of extension cord you need for safe operation. Ideally, you should choose an outdoor-rated heavy-duty 14-gauge or 12-gauge cord that can handle up to 15 amps of power.
Check Cord Length: Make sure that your chosen extension cord will be long enough to reach from your power outlet to wherever you plan on using your instant pot in your kitchen.
Plug In Safely: Once you have chosen a suitable extension cord for your needs, plug it in safely following all manufacturer instructions and guidelines.
It's essential always to ensure that any electrical device is used safely and appropriately; failure to follow manufacturer guidelines could lead to injury or damage.
