Rice cookers (also known as rice cookers) are closely related to our lives, of course, some people think that just a rice cooker can be used. But have you considered that a low-quality rice cooker is harmful to the body and not beneficial. Not only are there potential safety hazards, but also the use of inferior rice cookers, the inner liner coating peels off and is easy to pollute the water quality, and the toxic and harmful carcinogens of metals will penetrate deep into the food, emitting irritating odors and so on. In order to help you avoid lightning, as a professional home appliance evaluator, I will give you a good explanation about the purchase of rice cookers, and I hope you can choose a rice cooker with good quality, safety and non-toxicity!
Below are some of the rice cookers I have used recently:
First, the benefits of rice cookers are popularized
The rice cooker is an essential tool for us to cook, its working principle is mainly to detect the temperature on the main thermostat and the sensor temperature on the upper cover through the microcomputer chip, when their temperature meets the working temperature of the rice cooker, it will be connected to the electric heating plate of the rice cooker, and then the electric heating plate will begin to heat. When the electric heating plate and the inner pot are in full contact, the heat will be quickly conducted to the inner pot, and when the inner pot transmits the corresponding heat to the rice and water, the rice and water will start to heat. With the improvement of living standards, people's choice requirements are also increasing, and businesses have begun to launch more multi-functional rice cookers with people's choice requirements. There is also a reason why this type of product is popular, and it brings many benefits to the family, so let's take a look at it next.
1. The cooking process is more intelligent
With the development of technology, the design and innovation of rice cookers are becoming more and more intelligent. The multi-function rice cooker uses a built-in computer chip program and sensors to achieve precise temperature control of the rice cooker. In addition, it can also automatically adapt to the situation in the rice cooker to adjust the heat size and time, so that it can adapt to the cooking needs of different ingredients, making the cooking process more intelligent and convenient.
2. It is safer to use
The issue of safety has always been a must for every home appliance. Everyone will want to buy household appliances with small safety risks, after all, this endangers people's lives. When the temperature and pressure of the inner pot reach the specified range, the smart rice cooker will automatically adjust the heat and time, so that it can effectively avoid potential safety hazards such as fire and explosion caused by improper operation, and greatly reduce the risk of the rice cooker.
3. More abundant functions
The functions are more abundant, and it is a very good highlight for families with multiple choices. In addition to the most basic rice cooking function, the multi-functional rice cooker also has a variety of functions, such as boiling, steaming, stewing, roasting, frying, etc., and one pot can meet the diverse cooking needs of users. Whether you want to steam vegetables, cook wood-fired rice, or make soup and bake bread, it is not a problem, you can easily do it in one pot.
4. More energy-saving and environmentally friendly
The smart rice cooker is also very good in terms of environmental protection, it adopts advanced technology in heating, which can effectively help you reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and also realizes sewage recycling, which can be reused, and will be more convenient in the process of use in the future.
5. The cooking effect is better
Convection technology can distribute the heat in the pot, and the more advanced the convection technology, the more evenly distributed the heat in the pot. Therefore, the multi-function rice cooker uses advanced convection technology to make the heat distribution more even, so that the rice can be fully heated in all directions, improving the cooking effect, and cooking is more convenient.
2. 6 gold buying tricks
There are many benefits to a rice cooker, but once you choose a bad rice cooker, it is like an invisible bomb. There have even been reports of fires caused by rice cooker fires. So it is imperative to choose a rice cooker that is easy to use and safe. So how to choose the right rice cooker? Nowadays, there are many rice cookers in the market. We certainly can't just buy it. Once purchased improperly, cooked food is very harmful to our health. So how do we make sure we get a good rice cooker? In fact, choosing a rice cooker is not a very difficult task. Today, in order to make it easier for you to choose the right rice cooker for you, I will share with you six golden buying tips!
Gold Buying Trick 1: Prefer a brand with strong professional strength
As consumers, when we don't know anything about a product, then we prefer a quality brand. These brands pay great attention to the needs of consumers and the product experience, especially for the heating method and structure of the rice cooker, convection design, simmering technology, intelligent temperature control, cavity, heating uniformity, etc., as well as the food safety of the product material.
Gold purchase trick 2: Optimize the spiral simmering pressure heating method
At present, there are three types of rice cooker heating methods: IH heating, chassis heating, spiral simmering pressure heating, etc., among which the price of IH heating rice cooker is relatively expensive, although the heating is relatively uniform, but the heat attenuation degree is high if it is used for a long time. However, the traditional chassis heating method is uneven, the heating speed is slow, the temperature control accuracy is low, and the rice performance is far inferior to other heating methods. On the other hand, the spiral simmering pressure heating uses the form of pressurization, which makes the rice cooker heat more evenly and has a lower performance attenuation. Therefore, a rice cooker with a spiral simmering pressure heating method is more worth buying.
Gold Buying Trick 3: Choose the shape of the whole kettle
Nowadays, there are three types of rice cooker liner shapes: flat-bottomed, half-kettle, and full-kettle. Among them, the bottom of the flat-bottomed inner liner is flat, so that the heating area of the rice is small, and the cooking time becomes longer, and the rice will be heated unevenly. The half-pot liner has a curvature at the bottom, which increases the heating area of the rice, and the heating uniformity is better than that of the flat-bottomed liner. However, among the three liner shapes, the whole pot liner with a round bottom is the most evenly heated, and this shape of the liner can better stimulate the aroma of the ingredients, and retain the original flavor of the ingredients, and the taste is better.
Gold Buying Trick 4: Performance Anti-Aging Technology
Performance anti-attenuation technology can greatly improve the durability of the product, expensive professional brands will spend time in this regard, add performance anti-aging technology, to ensure the cooking effect of rice, rice cookers are more durable, the service life is generally very long;
Gold buying trick 5: choose the coating material well
The stainless steel coating is easy to stick to the pan, and the Teflon coating is easy to be harmful when eaten for a long time, and the risk of cancer is greatly increased, so it is recommended to choose the Maifan stone coating, which is safe and non-stick at the same time, and has better high temperature resistance and wear resistance, and is not easy to release toxic and harmful substances at long-term high temperatures, and is more safe and non-toxic!
Gold purchase trick 6: pay attention to the material of the top cover
The top cover material is often something that we tend to overlook, but it's also an important part of a rice cooker. There are generally two types of rice cooker tops: aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel. Among them, the top cover made of 304 stainless steel is more expensive, but its corrosion resistance and wear resistance durability are also higher, so you don't have to worry about rust and oxidation corrosion, and the heat insulation is better, and the cooked rice tastes better and is easy to clean. The top cover made of aluminum alloy is relatively lightweight, but the heat insulation is not good, the performance of the rice is not so good, and the surface is easy to leave water stains and dirt, it is not easy to clean, it is not wear-resistant and heat-resistant, and it may emit toxic and harmful substances, and the risk of cancer is not low, so it is recommended to choose carefully.
