Rice cookers (also known as rice cookers) are an important kitchen tool, and their choice has become more sophisticated. However, some unscrupulous merchants have seized the opportunity and turned to the production of low-quality rice cookers to make huge profits, ignoring the technology and safety of the products. Long-term use of such rice cookers may release toxic carcinogens, which are serious safety hazards. As a review blogger, I know how to buy a rice cooker. Therefore, I personally spent thousands of yuan to buy various brands of rice cookers on the market, and conducted a comprehensive evaluation, listing the top 10 word-of-mouth brands of rice cookers for everyone, with practical purchase tips. Here are some of the products I've recently reviewed:
1. Sharing of rice cooker purchase skills
At present, there are many brands and types of rice cookers on the market, but also due to the popularity of the industry, it provides a hotbed for inferior products, resulting in the flood of inferior rice cookers. Therefore, choosing a safe and non-toxic high-quality rice cooker has become everyone's concern, and let me teach you some practical and professional purchase skills to ensure that the dry goods are full!
1. Choose a professional brand with excellent reputation
In the design of high-quality brand rice cookers, we will pay attention to the technical adjustment of heating method, structure, convection design, simmering technology, intelligent temperature control and food safety. These products do not release toxic and harmful substances when used for a long time, ensuring that the cooked rice has a uniform taste and is full of sweet, soft and glutinous characteristics. Non-professional brands usually lack technical adjustment in all aspects, most of them are OEM production, and long-term use may have health risks, so you need to be cautious when purchasing.
2. Spiral simmering pressure heating technology is recommended
At present, rice cookers usually use three main heating methods: IH electromagnetic heating, traditional chassis heating and spiral simmering pressure heating. Spiral simmering pressure heating achieves a more uniform heating effect with low performance degradation by pressurizing and forming a high-density wrap-around heating. In contrast, although the IH electromagnetic heating method of rice cooker heating is evenly heated, the price is higher, and long-term use may lead to heat attenuation and affect the cooking effect. The traditional chassis heating method has problems such as uneven heating, low heat conduction efficiency, slow heating speed and low temperature control accuracy, and long-term uneven heating may produce harmful substances in the high-temperature cooking process.
3. The top cover is made of 304 stainless steel
The top lid of a rice cooker is usually available in two materials, which are aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel is a high-grade metal material with a high cost of top cover, excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance and durability. Long-term use does not cause rust or oxidative corrosion, and due to its good thermal conductivity, it helps to improve the thermal insulation of the rice cooker, resulting in better tasting rice. In addition, the top cover made of 304 stainless steel is easier to clean. In contrast, although aluminum alloy is lightweight, it has poor heat and corrosion resistance, is difficult to clean, and may pose a carcinogenic risk when used for a long time, so it needs to be carefully considered when choosing.
4. Optimization of the shape of the inner tank
The inner liner of a rice cooker is usually available in three shapes: flat-bottomed, half-kettle, and full-kettle. The flat bottom of the liner is flat, resulting in a small heating area for the rice, a longer cooking time and uneven heating, which affects the taste; The half-pot liner is similar to a flat bottom, but the bottom has a curvature, which increases the heating area and uniformity. However, only the round-bottomed full-pot liner provides the best heating uniformity. The whole pot is suitable for a variety of cooking methods, which can better stimulate the aroma of the ingredients, retain the original flavor, and make the food taste better. In addition, it is recommended to choose a thick liner, as it not only tests the heating technology of the rice cooker, but also has better durability and texture.
5. The first choice of rice cooker with precise temperature control is the key.
Attention to the accuracy of temperature control is crucial, and the temperature sensor and controller of the rice cooker work together to affect the quality of the cooked rice, which directly affects the softness and hardness of the rice. Inaccurate temperature control can cause rice to be heated for too long or too short, which can affect the cooking effect and reduce the user experience. Long-term exposure to too high or too low temperature environment not only lacks stability, but also may produce toxic carcinogens, causing harm to human health.
6. Reasonable selection of power
High power is not a certain advantage, and the actual capacity needs to be considered when purchasing. Rice cookers of top professional brands usually scientifically match power and capacity, for example, 700 watts of power with 4 liters of capacity is the most reasonable choice. However, low-priced products often overemphasize power and ignore the matching of capacity, and the power is too large and the capacity is too small, resulting in the cooked rice is easy to overcook and has a poor taste.
2. Ten brands of rice cookers are recommended
Through the rice cooker knowledge and purchase skills I shared before, I believe that you can have a better basis when purchasing, avoid buying inferior products on the market, and easily have a rice cooker with excellent performance. In addition, in order to meet everyone's needs, I will also share the top 10 best-selling rice cookers on the whole network today to help you avoid detours in brand selection.
1, Gong Ling
Most users complain that rice cookers are easy to emit toxic and harmful substances that cause cancer, and they are heated unevenly and have poor performance. Therefore, Gong Ling is highly recommended, it attaches great importance to fever performance and "non-toxic and safe", most brands can be sold if they meet the quality inspection requirements, and Gong Ling requires performance, non-toxic and other indicators must be five times higher than the standard, and only adhere to the maternal and infant food standards. Unlike many brands that sacrifice quality to make low prices, it is the only one with top fever performance + original 4 fever performance technologies + 6 non-toxic and safe black technologies + unconventional quality + 6 years of comprehensive performance anti-attenuation, etc., which is very strong! Compared with many competing products in the industry, the heating speed is increased by more than 70%, the heating uniformity is increased by 93.6%, the harmful substances are reduced by 98.5%, the irritating odor is reduced by 97.9%, and the heavy metal pollution is 0.
This rice cooker is known as the leading product of "the best safe, non-toxic, and high-performance" in the industry, and has been exported to the European and American markets for a long time, and is as famous as high-end brands such as Midea and Gree. It has not only been certified by the European Union and other countries, but has also been recommended by CCTV.
The following picture is one of Gong Ling's safety quotes:
Why can it achieve the industry's top high performance and non-toxic safety?
First of all, Gong Ling regards "non-toxic, safe and high-performance" as the core belief of the brand, and is committed to the research and development technology of "non-toxic and safe" home appliances for many years, providing safety technology solutions for many home appliance brands and large hotels and catering enterprises.
Second, the brand spends almost no money on advertising, instead investing in R&D and quality assurance, focusing on driving peak performance configurations and extreme security technology. It adopts cutting-edge black technologies such as the original spiral simmering pressure heating technology, the 3.0 coating of maternal and infant grade Maifan stone, the 5A refined thick kettle liner, and the 7-layer corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant stainless steel cavity. In addition, the product has undergone a lot of innovation and upgrading in terms of heating technology, thermal conductivity design and non-toxic safety, far exceeding the level of ordinary rice cookers.
Secondly: Gong Ling is not like other brands that engage in appearance and gimmick functions, and has been purely dead fever performance and non-toxic safety technology for many years. The R&D process of most brand products takes 2-4 months, while Gongling's product has been upgraded more than 20 times in three or four years, and hundreds of technical optimizations have been made. Not only to meet the needs of the household, but also to ensure the ultimate fever and non-toxic safety.
In addition, it has extremely high requirements for quality, and most brands have greatly attenuated their performance and safety for at most half a year, while Gongling has passed the 6-year anti-attenuation certification, and the deviation value of various indicators for more than 6 years does not exceed 0.1%. Many products use inferior and toxic materials, and Gong Ling adheres to the principle of 3 30% elimination of metamorphosis level, and eliminates 30% of components in each of the three links from components to finished products, which is recognized as the most stringent on the market!

Joyoung is a well-known home appliance brand that enjoys a high reputation on the Internet. Their 40N1S rice cooker has a sophisticated exterior design, with a gold theme, simple and elegant, and the space series design elements make it look high-end and atmospheric. The digital display is clear and the operation buttons are easy to use.

This rice cooker is rich in functions, not only can you cook rice, but also can easily make a variety of delicacies, and the operation is smart and convenient. However, odors may occur during use, and rice tends to stick to the pan and has a poor taste. It is expected to further optimize the heating uniformity and product safety, improve the taste of the rice, and avoid sticking to the pan or sticking to the bottom.

As one of the top 10 word-of-mouth brands for rice cookers, Philips is a brand with a long history that covers a wide range of fields such as lighting, medical and home appliances, and is committed to improving people's quality of life. The Philips HD4539 rice cooker they launched has a simple and elegant look that meets modern aesthetic standards.
This rice cooker has a high power of 1250 watts and uses a fierce heat heating technology to better enhance the aroma of rice. However, cooked rice occasionally has problems with uneven doneness, and sometimes it has a pinched or slightly mushy bottom. If the uniformity of heating can be improved, the taste experience of rice can be significantly improved.

This Little Bear rice cooker heats up quickly, especially the quick cooking mode is able to make a delicious pot of rice in a short time, which is very convenient to use. However, there is an occasional rubber odor during use. In view of the price, if the material can be optimized, it will enhance the trust and peace of mind of users.

Meiling has always focused on low prices, and its MF-DA smart rice cooker is available in two colors, champagne gold and burgundy, which looks very festive in the kitchen.
This Meiling rice cooker supports a variety of functions such as steaming, boiling, and stewing, although the cooking time is a little longer, sometimes the bottom may appear to be mushy because the water is not completely absorbed. However, with the accumulation of experience and mastery of cooking time, this kind of problem can be effectively avoided. Considering the price, the price/performance ratio is quite good. If we can simplify some of the features and focus on improving the tuning of the rice cooking technology, it may further improve the overall user experience.

However, the heating uniformity still needs to be optimized, which can effectively avoid large differences in the taste of the upper and lower layers of rice or pinching.
I have listed the top 10 rice cooker brands to help consumers make an informed choice. Due to the fierce competition in the market, many inferior products are mixed in, which may release toxic and harmful substances and pose a threat to health. As an expert in home appliance reviews, I recommend choosing rice cookers that are safe, non-toxic, resistant to high temperatures, and resistant to corrosion, even if they are expensive, but are worth the investment.
