  • The first and foremost step is to recognize the burnt smell and act right away by putting off the flame.
  • The next step is to take a red onion and cut it into four pieces without peeling the skin off.
  • Now place the pieces in the rice in such a way that it is spread throughout the vessel.
  • Take the lid and cover it up. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes and keep a watch on the clock.
  • Now open the cooker and take away all the onion pieces. You will notice that the pieces have turned slightly brown. This indicates that it has sucked in the foul burnt smell.
