Rice cooker (also known as rice cooker) is the most common and most commonly used household essential electrical appliance in our lives, it is also very convenient to use, can effectively improve the efficiency of everyone's home cooking, and is generally welcomed by modern families, so more and more home appliance manufacturers have joined the rice cooker production track. Although there are more and more choices for people to buy rice cookers, negative content about the quality and convenience of rice cookers is also more and more frequent, including the risk of causing cancer, the use of toxic and harmful substances, and the pungent odor. This will not only make everyone more confused about how to choose a good rice cooker, but also make everyone more and more worried about the safety of the rice cooker used at home. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, as a senior home appliance evaluator, I will share with you some content related to this problem.
Here are some of the rice cookers I've reviewed:
First, the main popular science of rice cookers
The use of a rice cooker is very simple, but how it works is quite informative. Its working principle is mainly to use a computer chip to observe the temperature of the main temperature control and the top cover sensor, if the temperature has reached the temperature standard that can make the rice cooker work, you can turn on the electric hot plate, so that the electric hot plate begins to heat up slowly. At the same time, the electric heating plate and the inner pot are also contacted, and the heat is transferred to the inner pot, and then to the rice and water, so that the rice cooker can start the function of cooking rice.
Ordinary rice cookers and multi-function rice cookers are the two most common rice cookers on the market now, they can meet everyone's basic requirements for cooking rice, but multi-function rice cookers are also more popular because they can meet everyone's various cooking needs including cooking rice. Its advantages include the following:
1. The cooking process is more intelligent
Computer chip programs and sensors are a key part of making multi-function rice cookers smarter, as they can also precisely control the temperature and constantly adjust the heat size and time to suit the cooking requirements of different ingredients. In this way, the cooking process of the rice cooker is more intelligent and convenient.
2. The cooking effect is better
Advanced convection technology can make the cooking effect of the multi-function rice cooker even better, because this technology can distribute the heat in the rice cooker more evenly, effectively and fully heat the rice in all directions, which can achieve better cooking results and more convenient cooking.
3. More abundant functions
In addition to the basic rice cooking function, the multi-functional rice cooker also has a variety of rich functions, such as steaming, stewing, baking, etc., which can meet the diverse cooking needs of users.
4. It is safer to use
The multi-function rice cooker uses advanced sensors and control systems, which are mainly used to monitor the temperature and pressure of the rice cooker in real time, and can also adjust the fire size and time according to the situation in the pot, avoiding various potential safety problems and making the use of the rice cooker safer.
5. More energy-saving and environmentally friendly
The multi-functional rice cooker uses advanced heating technology and energy-saving design to reduce its demand for electricity and water during use, effectively saving energy and protecting the environment. At the same time, with the development of technology, there are now rice cookers that can realize the recycling and reuse of wastewater, which is more environmentally friendly.
Second, rice cooker purchase tips
How to choose a good rice cooker must be supported by some purchase skills, but many people don't know what the basic points are when buying a rice cooker, so it is also very easy to make mistakes when buying a rice cooker. Therefore, the content of this part is mainly to share with you a few tips for the purchase and use of rice cookers, so that you can better understand which parts of the rice cooker are more important for a good quality rice cooker.
1. Prefer brands with strong professional strength
Professional brand rice cooker products are mainly to carry out professional technical design and adjustment of the heating method and structure, convection design, simmering technology, intelligent temperature control, cavity, heating uniformity, food safety and other main aspects of the rice cooker, so that the rice cooker is not easy to release toxic and harmful substances during use, and it is safer and more secure during use. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a professional rice cooker first when buying a rice cooker.
2. Spiral simmering pressure heating method is preferred
IH heating, chassis heating, and spiral simmering pressure heating are very common heating methods. IH heating method is expensive, heating is uniform, but the heat attenuation degree is high, and it is not durable enough. The traditional chassis heating method is unevenly heated, the heat conduction is not good, the heating rate is very slow, the temperature control is not accurate, and the rice is not as delicious as others. Spiral simmering pressure heating mainly uses pressurization and spiral heat to make the heating in the pot more uniform.
3. Pay attention to the material of the top cover
Aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel are the two most common top covers we buy for rice cookers. 304 stainless steel is expensive, but it is very good in corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and there is no need to worry about rust and oxidation corrosion in use, and the heat insulation of this rice cooker is also very good, and it is also very convenient to clean. The top cover made of aluminum alloy has poor thermal insulation, the rice is not very delicious when cooked, and it is easy to leave water stains and dirt on the surface, and it may emit toxic and harmful substances during use, increasing the carcinogenic risk of the rice cooker.
4. Select the shape of the whole kettle
There are three main types of inner tank shapes: flat-bottomed, half-kettle, and full kettle. Rice with a flat bottom will have a much smaller heating area, it will take longer to cook, and it will not taste good. The inner liner of the half-pot increases the heating area of the rice, so that the heating uniformity of the rice cooker is also better. However, the heating uniformity of the whole pot is the best of the three, so it can be used in a variety of cooking methods, and it can also stimulate the aroma of the ingredients, retain the original flavor, and taste better.
5. The heating plate should be carefully selected
For rice cookers, we give preference to heating plates made of high-quality metal. Among them, the aluminum alloy material has good thermal efficiency, good energy storage, fast heat conduction, uniform heating, and very good durability. The thermal conductivity of stainless steel material is not so good, and carbon steel material has the problem of poor energy storage effect and short service life. You need to choose carefully.
6. The power should be scientific
The power of the rice cooker is not as large as possible, and we should also consider whether it matches the capacity of the rice cooker when purchasing. The scientific ratio of rice cooker capacity and power can maximize the performance of the rice cooker. Generally speaking, the power is 700w, and the capacity of 4L is a more reasonable match. If you ignore the capacity ratio, the rice cooker with high power and small capacity will have the problem of overcooked rice and lack of elasticity.
3. Share 5 high-quality things
Although the quality of today's rice cooker products is good and bad, there are also some high-quality products that are worth buying. Here I mainly share with you a few high-quality rice cookers. This is not only to give you a better understanding of what a good rice cooker looks like, but also to make you more aware of what products are worth buying on the market and how to choose a good rice cooker. These products may be very familiar to everyone, and there are some that are not very familiar to everyone, and everyone can understand them.
