1, select from the capacity size.
When choosing a rice cooker, the first thing to look at is the capacity of the rice cooker. Too small to use, too big and a little wasteful. The capacity of common rice cookers in the market is mainly divided into 3L, 4L and 5L. As for the larger capacity, such as 6L and 9L, it is mainly for business, and ordinary families do not need to consider it. The capacity of 3L is suitable for a family of three; The capacity of 4L is suitable for families with 4 to 5 people. The capacity of 5L is suitable for families with 5-7 people.
2. From the heating mode.
At present, there are two main heating methods for rice cookers on the market, one is new IH heating (electromagnetic surrounding heating), and the other is traditional chassis heating. If the economic conditions are limited, you can choose a rice cooker heated by the chassis. If the quality of life is higher, the rice cooker heated by IH will be a better choice.
3, from the liner process selection
The inner container plays an important role in the process of cooking rice, which directly affects the taste of rice. There is little difference in heating technology between current rice cookers. In fact, the rice cooker mainly competes with the processing technology of the inner container, such as material, shape and non-stick effect.
Matters needing attention in purchasing rice cookers
1, check the appearance: the paint film should be tough without falling off, all kinds of accessories should be intact, and there should be no cracking, foaming and other phenomena. The lid and the inner pot should be closely matched.
2. Check the magnetic steel temperature limiter: the magnetic steel temperature limiter is inserted into the central circular hole of the electric plate, and the aluminum guide piece should be attached to the bottom surface of the inner pot under the action of the spring. Press the aluminum heat-conducting sheet by hand, it should move freely up and down, be elastic and have no feeling of sticking. The aluminum conductor should be slightly higher than the surface of the electric heating plate and have good contact with the bottom of the pot.
3. Check the inner pot: the inner pot should be round without trauma, and the bottom of the pot should be consistent with the radian of the heating plate.
4. Power-on test: The indicator light should light up immediately after power-on, and there should be no flicker. Switch button operation should be flexible and reliable.
