Important Notes
Putting the sweet potato in whole without cutting keeps the moisture locked in, resulting in a sweet and fluffy texture. 💡
If the sweet potato is still hard after cooking, leave it in the rice cooker on the 'keep warm' setting for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or remove it and microwave until soft. ⚠️
