In winter, the last dish is ready, and the front dish has been cooled; When the family gathers, the food is cold because of the chat time.
At this time, you need an insulated cutting board to keep the meal at a hot temperature and taste more delicious.
Today, Hua Dad selected a few hot-selling insulated cutting boards from Douyin to test them to determine whether they are really as easy to use as the merchants say.

The basic functions of the insulated cutting board, Hua Dad helps you summarize as follows:
Summary:
1. The soft thermal insulation cutting board that can be rolled up and stored will inevitably have the smell of leather, and the taste may be greater after heating.
2. After all, the insulated cutting board is a heating appliance, and the temperature of the panel will be relatively high after opening, and the cutting board with anti-scalding edges is less likely to be scalded.
Out of 6, only:De MitchThere are no anti-scald edges, so everyone buys with caution.
The rate at which the insulated cutting board heats up is important.
What is the use of having to wait for the cutting board to heat up after the dish has been done so hard?
Many insulated cutting boards claim to heat up quickly in 8s and can reach 100 in a few minutes, so Hua Dad designed an experiment to test the heating ability of insulated cutting boards.
Experimental method: Adjust all kinds of insulated cutting boards to a temperature range of 100, and test the temperature reached within 10s, 30s, 1min and 10min respectively.
Experimental Results:
Hua Dad also used frozen pieces of pork to test the time it takes for them to thaw for your reference:
Summary:
(1) The measured heating rate of seven C ding D and Mo F is faster, although it is not as fast as claimed on the detail page, but the gap is not large; The other 4 models did not reach 100 within 10 minutes.
(2) Is 100 easy to burn?
100 of boiling water, if poured on the bare face, neck, arms, etc.**, will definitely burn due to:
1. Boiling water is splashed on the body, the contact area is large, and a lot of heat will be released;
2. The ** of the face, neck, and arms are relatively thin.
The experimenter did the experiment, touching the hottest with his handSeven c, ding, dThe cutting board does feel quite hot, but it will instinctively shrink its hand, and the ** of the hand is relatively thicker, and it is not burned at this time. If a child touches it, it will also have a memory: "Don't touch this thing!" ”
Of course, parents who have concerns about this can adjust the hot plate to a slightly lower setting.
When the family sits around for dinner, you can also adjust to a slightly lower gear, besidesDe MitchThe exterior is designed with an "anti-scald edge" that is not easy to be scalded.
From a principle point of view, the insulated cutting board is a low-power induction cooker, which can definitely be heated, but its actual effect on heating the meal will be affected by the material of the container such as dishes.
So Hua Dad designed 2 experiments to ** "How to use an insulated cutting board to make meals more insulated?" ”
Experiment 1: Stainless steel vs ceramic
Hua Dad first used the ceramic dish with the highest use rate in the kitchen, and then used the stainless steel dish to do the insulation experiment.
Boiling water is poured into stainless steel plates and ceramic plates (simulating materials and cutlery commonly used in households) and their temperature changes at 100 levels of the cutting board are tested.
Experimental Results:
Summary:
It performs better in the previous heating sessionSeven c, ding, dMof, the actual use is really more insulating water, especiallySeven c, ding, d
According to the results of the experiment, Hua Dad summarized 2 precautions for the correct use of insulated cutting boards:
It's best to turn it on 10 minutes in advance to allow the insulated cutting board to reach a relatively high temperature first, so as to delay the temperature of the meal.
It is best to use stainless steel dishes with good heat conductivity, or ceramic dishes with flat bottoms and no bottom feet, which are more conducive to heat transfer from insulated cutting boards.
Experiment 2: Solid vs Liquid Dish
Obviously, solid dishes are prone to uneven heating, and there is a situation where the top is cold and the bottom is hot.
In the face of such a solid dish that is difficult to heat evenly, will the insulated cutting board that performed well before be defeated?
Experimental method: According to the above experimental results, Hua Dad picked 1 cutting board with good performance and 1 with poor performance, put the scrambled eggs on a stainless steel plate, and then put the plate on two cutting boards and tables respectively, and measured its initial temperature, 10min, 20min, 30min and 40min temperature (simulating a 30-minute meal time).
Experimental Results:
Summary:
Even in such a warm place as Guangzhou (the room temperature is about 20 at this time), after the meal is ready, it will drop to about 30 in 10 minutes, and the entrance of the meal at this time will make people feel not very delicious.
Therefore, the use of an insulated cutting board can prevent the meal from getting cold to a certain extent.
At the same temperature level, the cutting board with good thermal insulation ability is very powerful in the face of solid dishes, while the cutting board with poor thermal insulation ability has a negligible thermal insulation effect on solid dishes.
Based on the above two experiments, the heat retention capacity is betterSeven c, ding, dMof
After the actual measurement, Hua Dad thinks that the insulated cutting board is not an "IQ tax", and those friends who think it is not easy to use are likely to have not figured out the most effective way to use it.
To this end, Hua Dad has summarized a set of correct usage methods for your reference.
Adjust the setting according to room temperature
In warmer Guangzhou, meals will cool down within 20 minutes (the same as room temperature), and meals can be maintained at 50 minutes after using an insulated cutting board (on medium setting).
In colder areas, using an insulated cutting board will also have a certain effect, and you can also consider using a higher temperature setting, but be careful of burns.
Preheat before use
Preheating for 5-10min is conducive to reaching the target temperature before use.
Try to choose stainless steel cutlery
Stainless steel tableware has better thermal conductivity, if you use ceramic dishes, try not to use too thick ones, and the convex ones at the bottom will also affect the insulation effect.
According to the results of the experiment, Hua Dad recommendsSeven c, ding, dwithMof, you can choose according to your needs.

The heating rate is fast, and the medium setting keeps the meal at a constant temperature of about 50Mofmr8300The cutting board is detachable for easy storage.
It is possible to purchase only a single cutting board, and increase the number of cutting boards according to the situation for multiple families.
When the room temperature is about 20, a medium setting is sufficient; Where the room temperature is lower, it also has a certain effect)

Cons: *Expensive, and the cutting board is not removable.
