Because the rice cooker is a convenient and fast way to cook, and it also provides a relatively safe guarantee, it is deeply loved by everyone. However, some people have found that there are many shortcomings in rice cookers when using rice cookers, such as: emitting toxic and harmful substances, and even causing cancer in serious cases. So are rice cookers poisonous? As a small home appliance evaluator, let's discuss this issue today!
Here are some of the pictures of the rice cookers I've reviewed:
1. What are the side effects of rice cookers?
Are rice cookers toxic? Whether you have used an inferior rice cooker, an inferior rice cooker has a certain toxicity, because of the material and workmanship and other problems, it is easy to cause the rice cooker to emit toxic and harmful substances, and if you use it for a long time, it increases the risk of cancer. In addition, there are other hidden side effects of inferior rice cookers, let's take a look!
Side effect 1: Poor material use
If you need to use it at high temperature for a long time, you must pay attention to the non-stick coating on the surface, which is not only easy to fall off from the pot, but also easy to mix into food when it is serious, resulting in an increased risk of cancer!
Side effect 2: The safety hazard is greater
The use of inferior rice cookers can easily heat up the rice cooker circuit, which can cause short circuits and cause safety problems such as fires.
Side effect 3: It is easy to damage the thermal element
In addition, the temperature in the cavity of the rice cooker is not stable, and long-term use is easy to damage the heat dissipation elements, which will not only shorten the service life of the rice cooker, but also prone to fire in serious cases.
Side effect 4: It is easy to produce pungent odor
The rice cooker with the upper lid material is often not durable, prone to damage, aging and other problems, and the inferior product sealing rubber ring material is also poor, which is easy to produce irritating odors when used at high temperatures, and will increase the probability of carcinogenic if used for a long time.
Second, the slot point of side effects of inferior rice cookers!
Are rice cookers toxic? Inferior rice cookers do have a certain degree of toxicity, but also other harms, let's take a look at the relevant complaints of netizens about inferior rice cookers, and let's discuss what the grooves are generated?
1. Performance decay is fast
In fact, the internal parts and materials of the rice cooker need to be strictly controlled, because if the control is not in place, it will lead to defects such as unstable operation performance of the rice cooker, and there will be potential safety hazards in the serious case of electricity.
2. The temperature control is not accurate, and the rice is cooked
When cooking rice, rice sandwiching or pasting pot is mostly due to uneven heating of the rice cooker, so the rice is also heated unevenly, and it is easy to sandwich raw rice.
3. Irritating odor and increasing carcinogenic rate
Low-cost rice cookers will often cut corners in order to save costs, resulting in various problems in the use of rice cookers, such as: toxic and irritating substances are produced when heated at high temperatures, and long-term consumption will greatly increase the probability of carcinogenesis.
4. Inferior materials and defective products
On the one hand, the defects may be caused by the fact that the material used is not wear-resistant, and on the other hand, there is a risk of scratches during transportation, or second-hand materials are used.
5. The contact of the inner tank does not fit
Many inferior rice cookers will shake and loosen after putting in the pot due to the mismatch between the inner pot and the inner pot, which will affect the heating efficiency of the chassis and easily lead to uneven heating of rice.
Although many businesses advertise that their products are safe and non-toxic, but we also have to guard against their scams when purchasing, many businesses launch products that are not resistant to high temperatures, poor corrosion resistance, so we should not believe the propaganda of merchants, in order to let everyone understand the high-quality products in the market, this picture summarizes the 11 most worthwhile products for everyone, you can use it for reference!
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 strongly 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 the only one insists on maternal and infant food standards. Unlike many brands that sacrifice quality to do low prices, it is a rare fever top performance + original 4 fever performance technologies + 6 non-toxic and safe black technology + unconventional quality + 6 years of comprehensive performance anti-attenuation, etc., which is very awesome! 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.
It is the king of "the best safe, non-toxic, high-performance" in the industry, and has been exported to the European and American markets for many years, and is as famous as high-end series such as Midea and Gree. It is the only one that has been certified by the European Union and other countries, and has been recommended by CCTV.
Gong Ling regards "non-toxic, safe and high performance" as the ultimate goal of the brand, and has many years of experience in home appliance safety research and development. There is almost no advertising, no appearance and gimmick functions, saving money to invest in R&D and quality, and stumbling on peak performance configuration and ultimate safety! The R&D process of most brand products takes 2-4 months, while Gongling's product is dead for three or four years. The performance of most brands has been greatly attenuated in 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%. And in the face of the use of inferior and toxic materials in many products, it has always adhered to the principle of 3 30% elimination of metamorphosis grade, which is very strict.
For users with a low budget who want to buy an entry-level model, you can take a look at Xiaomi and Midea, of course, don't have so high expectations for core performance, safety and non-toxicity. At the high-end price, you can get to know Toshiba, which has a more exquisite design.
3. What are the tips for buying rice cookers?
Are rice cookers toxic? There are many brands in the market, so we need to choose a high-quality rice cooker, so how do we choose a high-quality rice cooker in this complex market environment? Here are four tips for buying, I hope you must master it!
1. Prefer products with strong professional strength
High-quality rice cookers will be adjusted by convection design, simmering technology, etc., as well as the food safety of the product material, which is very safe for long-term consumption. However, due to the inferior material and quality, the inferior rice cooker is easy to emit toxic and harmful substances when used, so it is recommended that you buy a high-quality rice cooker.
2. Choose the heating method correctly
There are generally three types of heating methods for rice cookers in the market, but the spiral simmer heating method works best. It is generally heated in the form of pressurization and spiral high-density surrounding, so that the heating is more uniform.
3. Select the shape of the inner tank of the whole kettle
There are three kinds of inner tank shapes: flat bottom, half kettle and full kettle, among which the bottom of the flat bottom inner tank is flat, and the heating area of rice is small, so the rice is prone to uneven heating; The bottom of the half-kettle liner is curved, so the heating area of the rice is increased, and the heating uniformity is also better than that of the flat bottom, but it is recommended that you buy the shape of the whole kettle liner, because the whole kettle liner can be applied to a variety of cooking methods, and the thicker the rice cooker liner, the better, because the thicker the liner usually tests the heating technical strength of the rice cooker, and the durability is high for long-term use.
4. Choose the alloy liner material
The material of the inner liner of the rice cooker usually affects the heating performance and safety of the rice cooker, so it is recommended that you buy a product with good thermal conductivity. Because the inner tank with good thermal conductivity has a long service life, is anti-drop and anti-smashing, and is safe for heating, it is suitable for long-term use. On the contrary, the inferior aluminum liner often has unstable performance, so after heating and use, it is easy to volatile irritating toxic substances and excessive heavy metals, which is easy to cause cancer.
Are rice cookers toxic? Then again, the functions of rice cookers are becoming more and more intelligent and diversified, bringing a lot of convenience to our lives, so they are highly sought after by consumers, but when we buy, we should also look for whether the brand and performance of the rice cooker are intact, and choose a professional product for ourselves and our families.
