In the world of kitchen appliances, rice cookers (aka rice cookers) are gradually becoming the protagonists, and their convenience and ease of operation make them the first choice for ordinary households. Although the popularity of smart rice cookers has brought convenience, it has also come with poor-quality, unsafe rice cookers produced by some unscrupulous merchants, which are prone to emit toxic substances and even pose a risk of causing cancer. So, how do you buy a rice cooker? In order to help you solve this problem, as a home appliance evaluator, I have evaluated a variety of rice cookers on the market, and selected five representative products for detailed analysis to answer your questions about rice cooker purchase.
Here are some of the rice cookers I've reviewed:
1. Rice cooker purchase skills
Rice cookers have many advantages, but there are also some products on the market that contain toxic substances and poor heating performance, and these inferior products may cause inconvenience to our lives and even pose a potential threat to our health. So, what do we need to pay special attention to when choosing a rice cooker? The following six buying tips may help you distinguish the pros and cons and find the most suitable rice cooker brand for everyone.
1. Prefer strong brands, when choosing a rice cooker, you should first put the brand with strong professional strength in the first place, because these brands have carried out in-depth technical optimization in the heating technology, airflow layout, liner material, pressure cooking, intelligent temperature control and internal structure of the rice cooker. Such a rice cooker not only ensures that no harmful substances are released after long-term use, but also cooks full, even, and sweet rice. Non-professional brand products are often insufficient in technical polishing, resulting in weak performance, and there is the problem that toxic gases may be released during long-term use, causing potential damage to the health of users.
2. Choose a rice cooker that is spiral-pressurized and heated. Compared with IH heating and traditional chassis heating, spiral pressurized heating can achieve lower thermal energy attenuation and more uniform heating effect by increasing pressure and forming a spiral high-density heating.
3. Top cover material. 304 stainless steel should be preferred. This material is not only corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and durable, but also has good thermal conductivity, which helps to improve the heat retention performance of the rice cooker and the taste of the rice, while being easy to clean. In contrast, aluminum alloy tops are less durable and insulating, and can release harmful carcinogens, so they should be chosen carefully.
4. The whole kettle shape liner is the best choice. The rounded bottom of the whole pot provides a larger heating area and a more uniform heating effect, making it suitable for a variety of cooking methods, helping to preserve the original flavor and enhance the taste of the food. In addition, the thickness of the inner tank is also important, a thicker inner tank can test the heating technology of the rice cooker more, and it is also more durable.
5. Coating material. Maifan stone coating is a safer, non-stick and high-temperature resistant option, it is not easy to release harmful substances at long-term high temperatures, and it is safer and non-toxic. The use of stainless steel coating and Teflon coating that may be harmful when eaten for a long time is easy to emit harmful substances and pose a great harm to our health if they are used for a long time.
6. Rice cooker heating plate material. It is recommended to choose an aluminum alloy heating plate, because it has good durability and efficient thermal conductivity, which can ensure the long-term stable use of the rice cooker.
