1. Are rice cookers safe? Uncover the 4 hidden dangers***
Are rice cookers safe? This is one of the questions that many netizens and consumers are very concerned about, in fact, we can't generalize to answer this question. There are a large number of professional and high-quality rice cookers in the market, which are usually very safe because their quality and workmanship are strictly inspected by relevant agencies, and safety is guaranteed, so high-quality rice cookers are very safe to use. However, there are many problems with inferior rice cookers, not only poor workmanship, but also easy to emit toxic and harmful substances, which will have a great impact on the body if we use them for a long time. Below I have summarized the hidden dangers of 4 inferior rice cookers*** You can know about it.
Hidden danger 1, emitting toxic and harmful substances
Inferior rice cookers usually have poor coating materials, thin coating thickness, poor scratch resistance, wear resistance, and high temperature resistance, and the non-stick coating on the surface is easy to fall off after long-term use at high temperatures, and it is easy to mix into food in serious cases, resulting in an increased risk of cancer!
Hidden danger 2, there is a fire hazard
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.
Hidden danger 3: Inaccurate temperature control
Rice cookers with poor temperature control function are prone to undercooked or overcooked rice, which greatly affects the taste. In addition, the temperature in the cavity of the rice cooker cannot be controlled, and it is easy to damage the heat dissipation element after long-term use, which will not only shorten the service life of the rice cooker, but also be prone to fire in serious cases.
Hidden danger 4, release irritating odor
Rice cookers with upper lid materials are often not durable, prone to damage, aging and other problems, easy to accumulate food residues to produce bacteria, and inferior products are also poor in sealing rubber ring material, which is easy to produce irritating odors at high temperatures, affecting the taste of rice, and long-term use will also increase the probability of carcinogenicity.
Second, the hidden dangers of inferior rice cookers5 largeCauses
Are rice cookers safe? The above has given you a detailed analysis of the 4 hidden dangers of inferior rice cookers, I don't know what you think about inferior rice cookers? Here is a picture of the reasons why netizens complain about the rice cooker, so that you can have an in-depth understanding of the inferior rice cooker, from the picture we can more intuitively see the reasons for the feedback from netizens, and at the same time, I have also summarized the 4 major reasons for the hidden dangers of the inferior rice cooker, and we have a deeper understanding of the inferior rice cooker through this section.
1. Poor quality and short life
The internal parts and materials of the rice cooker need to be strictly controlled in quality, such as the shell, inner tank, heating chassis, temperature control device, microcomputer chip, etc., otherwise the operation performance of the rice cooker will be unstable, the performance will decay quickly, the service life will be shortened, and there will be serious electrical safety hazards.
2. Cook rice and paste the pot
When cooking rice, the rice is mostly sandwiched or pasted in the pot because the rice cooker is heated unevenly, resulting in uneven heating of the rice, and it is easy to sandwich raw rice. Inferior rice cookers with inaccurate temperature control will lead to uncontrolled heating and easy to stick to the bottom when heated at high temperatures for a long time.
3. There is a pungent odor
In order to save costs, low-cost rice cookers will cut corners on materials such as shells, upper covers, inner tanks, and heating chassis, resulting in toxic and irritating substances produced by rice cookers when heated at high temperatures, and will also be mixed into food, and long-term consumption will greatly increase the probability of carcinogenesis and affect human health.
4. Liquid is easy to flow out of the pot
Due to the poor airtightness of the product, there is no overflow valve or anti-overflow design, when cooking ingredients at high temperatures, it will easily cause liquid to overflow, which will not only stain the surrounding environment, but also cause water ingress inside the rice cooker, damage to equipment and circuitry, and scalding the user.
5. The inner edge of the pot is easy to accumulate water
After the lid of the rice cooker without leakage hole is opened, the water on the lid will easily drip to the edges, and it will also cause water accumulation on the rubber ring inside, which will easily lead to mold and odor if not cleaned in time.
3. How to choose a rice cooker will be safer
Are rice cookers safe? Through the above text on the analysis of the hidden dangers of rice cookers, we have also had a certain understanding of inferior rice cookers, but most of the above problems are inferior rice cookers, so in this complex market environment, many businesses in order to promote sales, launch low-cost products, etc., confuse consumers to buy, so when we buy rice cookers, we should avoid inferior rice cookers, in order to ensure our physical health problems, so how should we buy rice cookers, in order to effectively avoid this problem? Here are eight of the most practical tips.
1. Choose a brand with strong professional strength
Professional brand rice cookers will be technically adjusted according to the heating method and structure, convection design, simmering technology, intelligent temperature control, cavity, heating uniformity, etc., as well as the food safety of product materials.
2. Spiral simmering pressure heating method is preferred
When purchasing, you should give preference to a rice cooker with spiral simmer pressure heating method, because it can be heated more evenly and with low performance attenuation through the form of pressurization.
3. Select the shape of the inner tank of the whole kettle
Because the whole kettle liner can be applied to a variety of cooking methods, it can better stimulate the original aroma of the ingredients, better retain the original flavor of the ingredients, and taste better. In addition, the thicker the rice cooker liner, the better, the thicker the liner, which tests the heating technical strength of the rice cooker, and is also more textured, with high durability 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 to choose an alloy liner with good thermal conductivity, good safety and durability, and high quality. Such an inner tank has a long service life, is anti-drop and anti-smashing, and is safe for heating, and is suitable for long-term use.
5. Choose products with good anti-aging technology
Performance anti-decay technology can greatly improve the durability of the product, professional brand performance anti-aging technology can ensure the cooking effect of rice, rice cookers are more durable, and the service life is generally longer.
6. Pure copper wire rod is preferred
High-quality rice cookers generally use better and high-quality pure copper wires to ensure that the rice cookers have no fire and other safety hazards, but some low-cost rice cookers use inferior wires in order to save costs, which is prone to fire.
7. It is recommended to choose polyenergetic simmering products
The new rice cooker, because the simmering pressure convection valve design can improve the water absorption and taste of the rice by intelligently controlling the pressure in the pot, making the taste of the rice more soft and delicious, and the cooking effect is also better, so it is best to choose the convection valve design of the shaped energy simmering pressure.
8. The material of the heating plate
When buying a rice cooker, you should try to choose a heating plate made of high-quality metal, which not only has good energy storage effect and fast thermal conductivity, but also heats evenly, has good durability, and has higher durability for long-term use.
Seeing this, we have a complete understanding of how to buy a high-quality rice cooker, and we will never be confused in the face of choosing a high-quality rice cooker.
