Why is the once popular "induction cooker" no longer popular? Is it still in use at home?
Induction cookers used to be very popular, and having one at home is definitely a symbol.
But in the past two years, have you noticed that many families are now using gas stoves and other things. What's going on?
Take the induction cooker as an example, this is the main factor why the induction cooker swept the country that year. The induction cooker is very convenient to use, as long as you plug it in and press it, it will automatically heat up, which is much safer than a regular gas stove, because there is no open flame here.
What's more, this thing can control the fire, stir-fry, make soup, and cook porridge. Moreover, it has a stylish shape and is also very distinctive in the kitchen.
However, as the years passed, its drawbacks gradually became apparent. First of all, it heats up quickly, unlike a gas stove, as soon as it is turned on, the flame will burn and it will soon become warm. It takes a while for the induction cooker to feel the increase in heat, which makes people who are anxious very anxious.
Secondly, there are fewer types of cookware available. The induction cooker cannot be used in any pot, it must be magnetic underneath.
Also, when cooking, the temperature in the pot will drop suddenly, and you need to stop to check whether the contact between the bottom of the pot and the induction cooker is not good. Many times, people think that induction cooktops are difficult to use.
Moreover, the hygiene of the induction cooker is also a big problem. You won't have as many grease stains as a gas stove, but there's a good chance that there's dirt hidden in the keys and crevices. What's more, most of the shells of induction cookers are materials that are easy to scratch, and after a period of use, they need to be replaced with new ones.
In addition, the material conditions of the people are getting better and better, so their cooking skills are getting better and better. An induction cooker can also adjust the temperature, but it is not as comfortable as a gas stove.
The gas stove can precisely control the flame, whether it is cooking or stewing, you can do whatever you want, but in this regard, this induction cooker is slightly inferior.
Of course, there are a lot of things included in this, including the price of an induction cooker. The induction cooker is not high, but if you add some special kitchenware and tools, it will not be cheap. Besides, the life of the induction cooker is relatively short, and it will have to be replaced again after two or three years, which will cost a lot.
As a result, the number of users of induction cookers is still large, but it is not as stable as before. Many people are thinking about how to use a regular gas stove, or use some new kitchen utensils, such as ceramic stoves, all-purpose pots, etc. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, but on the whole, they are better suited to meet the increasing culinary needs.
Of course, each person's preferences are different, and the kitchenware they need is also different, so you also need to choose by yourself.
If you prefer to use simple, safe and hygienic cooking methods, then induction cooktops are still your first choice; If you want a better cooking experience and more features, maybe you should replace it with a gas stove or other new kitchen utensils.
All in all, as time goes on, there will be more and more needs from people. Induction cookers have been popular for a long time, but in the process of development, some drawbacks have also begun to appear, and eventually they are replaced by more advanced and practical kitchenware. Life is like that, it's always changing, it's moving forward.
