Do you keep the lid on or off. Please help. I have a show tonight and I haven't done this before and the recipe I found doesn't say if you keep it on or off. Thank you.
 
I have not tried it, but have been told that you do not put the lid on or it will explode in the micro
 
For the rice cooker, I believe you do use the lid, just not the extra white/clear insert on the lid.
 
I've made this countless times! I use the lid without the insert, just like Amanda said!

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I keep the lid on or off when making Molten Lava Cake in a rice cooker?

It is recommended to keep the lid on while cooking the Molten Lava Cake in a rice cooker. This helps to create a steamy environment, which is essential for the cake to rise properly and achieve the desired texture.

What happens if I cook the Molten Lava Cake with the lid off?

If you cook the Molten Lava Cake with the lid off, it may dry out and not rise as intended. The lack of steam can lead to a denser cake that lacks the gooey center characteristic of a traditional molten lava cake.

Can I use a rice cooker without a lid for other types of cakes?

While some cakes can be made without a lid in a rice cooker, it is generally best to keep the lid on to maintain moisture and ensure even cooking. However, you should always refer to specific recipes for guidance.

How long should I cook the Molten Lava Cake in the rice cooker with the lid on?

The cooking time for a Molten Lava Cake in a rice cooker typically ranges from 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the model of your rice cooker. It's important to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.

What if my rice cooker doesn’t have a steaming function?

If your rice cooker does not have a steaming function, you can still make a Molten Lava Cake by keeping the lid on during cooking. Just ensure that you monitor the cooking time closely to prevent overcooking.
