The two induction cookers at home had been out of use for several years, and they were covered with dust. I found that the people I know around me rarely use induction cookers to stir-fry.
Why do more and more people now dislike induction cookers? They would rather buy gas canisters than use induction cookers. The reason is that induction cooktops were popular in the past, but as people gradually realized their shortcomings, fewer and fewer people use induction cookers.
I used to use an induction cooker when I rented a house, and today I will talk about several outstanding shortcomings of the induction cooker, which is why I don't want to use an induction cooker.
Disadvantages of induction cooktops
First, it consumes too much electricity
The power of induction cookers is very large, generally several kilowatts, so it consumes a lot of electricity. I remember that I used to use an induction cooker to stir-fry for a month, and the electricity bill at the end of the month was several times higher. An induction cooker is not as good as using gas to save money.
Second, stir-fried vegetables are not delicious
The induction cooker is really not delicious, but the bottom of the pot is heated, and the sides are not heated, and the dish is easy to burn. The induction cooker is only suitable for hot pot, stir-frying and frying, forget it, it is not as good as a gas stove.
Chinese cooking habits to turn the spoon, but the induction cooker restricts the spoon! I think electric wok is better than induction cooker, stew a dish often loses power, several brands are like this, and then electric wok is used.
3. The pot is easy to deform
Let me tell you a truth, none of the pots using induction cookers can withstand the bottom of the pot for several months without deformation, basically only one point can touch the induction cooker panel, stir-frying is particularly difficult, and it will be a fire when you look at it!
Fourth, it is inconvenient to carry
The induction cooker is relatively large and inconvenient to carry, but also with a pot, the pot is not small and heavy, if there is a small pot that is easy to carry, it would be good, the iron pot should be improved to change to the kind of round pot. Don't have that long handle, which is inconvenient and bulky to carry.
Fifth, it is easy to break
The induction cooker is afraid of water, but in the kitchen stir-frying, water is inevitable, I have used 2 induction cookers are because of the bottom of the pot water, the induction cooker countertop is wet, resulting in the failure of the induction cooker, very troublesome. Induction cookers are also easy to attract cockroaches into electrical appliances, and within a month, the circuit board will be short-circuited and burned.
epilogue
In short, induction cookers are only suitable for hot pot, not for long-term stir-frying. If you like to cook or cook at home, you should still use a gas stove, and an induction cooker can only be used as an auxiliary stove.
