Cleaning stuck/burnt coconut rice
I made some coconut rice for the first time ever today, but after it was done (turned out great), there was a thin layer of stuck burnt on rice at the bottom of the pan.
Soaked in soapy water for a couple of hours and then most of the stuff came off easily with a silicone paddle. I followed up with a diluted vinegar soak after which it was almost perfectly clean.
But I'm wondering why it stuck. This was my first time using coconut milk to cook rice. I'm guessing temperature should be lower during the initial boil and also maybe stirring the pot while boiling might have helped. Once it was covered and simmering at low heat I don't think it would stick.
Looking for comments/advice from folks with more experience in cooking coconut rice on stainless steel pan.
