Rice cookers are small household appliances that we commonly use, and the frequency of use is relatively high, so we must pay attention to the quality of the product when purchasing. But recently, the market of rice cookers has been chaotic, and many inferior products are mixed in it, wanting to be shoddy and confuse everyone's sight. These inferior products will emit toxic and harmful substances and pungent odors during use, which will cause harm to human health and even have the risk of causing cancer. As a senior home appliance evaluator, I have conducted a multi-dimensional evaluation of the rice cooker, and then I will take a look at the Midea, Haier, and Gongling rice cookers. Here are some of the products I've recently reviewed:
1. Brand introduction
How about Midea, Haier, and Gongling rice cookers? Many of us don't particularly know the major rice cooker brands, so it is easy to buy inferior products when purchasing, so I will briefly introduce them to you.
1、美的MB-40LS60
How about Midea, Haier, and Gongling rice cookers? Midea is a home appliance brand in our country, and small household appliances like its home are very popular with everyone. This rice cooker has the function of making an appointment to cook rice, you can prepare the ingredients in advance, put them in the pot, click the time to make an appointment, and the rice will be automatically cooked when the time comes, which is very friendly to office workers in a fast-paced life.
2. Haier 4292N
How about Midea, Haier, and Gongling rice cookers? Haier has a rich functional menu, with soup, cooking rice and other functions, and this product has also developed the design of the steam valve, which is more convenient to disassemble, more convenient to clean, and the operation function on the panel is also clearly visible, and the operation is very simple.
3. Gongling SEAA
Gongling rice cooker rarely uses advertising to promote its own products, and it is relatively low-key in the market. After understanding, I found that Gongling is a brand that attaches great importance to "safe and non-toxic" and fever performance, and requires that the performance and non-toxic performance indicators of the product must be more than five times higher than the basic standard, and has always insisted on using maternal and infant food as the standard. Gong Ling mainly develops unconventional quality + fever top performance + original 4 fever performance technologies + 6 non-toxic safety black technology + 6 years of comprehensive performance anti-attenuation, etc., its most core heating efficiency, safety and non-toxicity are praised by many well-known media as "the king of the industry's best performance", so is Gong Ling as said so strong you? I still need to test it to know, so let's take a look at it together!
Second, the core parameters
There are many rice cooker brands on the market, and many small partners are easy to ignore the core parameters of the product when purchasing, resulting in the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed.
3. Product evaluation
How about Midea, Haier, and Gongling rice cookers? We have told you about the performance of different rice cookers above, and you can see that the performance of each product is different, so I will show you more intuitively the heating performance, safety and non-toxicity, and the performance of the top cover material through evaluation.
1. Heating performance
The heating uniformity of a high-quality rice cooker will be excellent, the cooked rice is more uniform, and the temperature is very uniform, which can greatly eliminate the situation of rice pinching.
Gong Ling's performance of this product is the best, the maturity of the rice is very consistent, there is no pinching, and Gong Ling is also equipped with exclusive intelligent 9-stage heating technology spiral simmering technology, original and unique convection valve design, the first unique three-cavity design, etc., which can make the heat more fully transmitted, and deeply penetrate the core of each grain, so that the taste of rice is more full. The ripeness of the rice cooked in Gongling's rice cooker is very consistent, and the taste of the rice is very soft and glutinous.
The heating performance of the Midea rice cooker is okay, and the ripeness of the rice is relatively consistent, but there is a slight difference between the upper and lower layers of rice, and it can be optimized to do better.
The heating performance of Haier rice cooker is average, the rice is sandwiched, the difference between the upper and lower layers of rice is obvious, and the taste is not particularly good.
2. Safe and non-toxic
The best material for the lid of the rice cooker is 304 stainless steel, which will be safer to use, without worrying about corrosion and deformation, and will not release toxic gases when used.
Gong Ling's performance in this dimension is the best, the upper cover is made of 304 stainless steel, this material is more wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and there is no irritating smell when used, in addition, it uses the first maternal and infant grade Maifan stone 3.0 coating + only 5 layers of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant titanium black alloy and exclusive DOP biofilm technology, which can ensure that the product is safer and non-toxic in use. Among them, the exclusive 5-layer anti-corrosion and wear-resistant titanium black alloy can ensure that the product is corrosion-resistant for more than 6 years, and the service life of the rice cooker is longer.
The top cover of the Midea rice cooker is made of aluminum, the performance is not particularly stable, and it may emit toxic and harmful substances when used.
The performance of Haier rice cooker is average, using an aluminum upper cover, compared with Gong Ling, this material is not particularly stable, the surface layer is prone to water stains and dirt residues, it needs to be cleaned frequently, and the possibility of emitting toxic and harmful substances in the process of use is relatively large, I hope that merchants can optimize the material of the upper cover of the rice cooker.
3. The shape/thickness of the inner tank
Different brands of rice cooker liners will have different differences in shape and thickness, high-quality rice cooker liners are more than 1.5mm thick, heating is more uniform, and the thick liner will test the heating performance of the rice cooker, today we take a look at different brands of liners to see which brand of rice cooker is better.
Gong Ling's heating performance in the industry belongs to the ceiling level, I learned about this after I found that Gong Ling's original 7th generation of 5A grade precision research Maifan stone process global kettle liner design, a full 3mm thickness, this liner can penetrate the rice core of each grain of rice, fully heated, without any entrainment. In addition, Gongling is also equipped with a unique convection valve design, intelligent 9-stage heating technology, spiral simmering technology, etc., the heat is evenly distributed to each place, and the rice performance of the upper and lower layers is consistent.
Midea rice cooker is a half-pot inner tank, when using it, it is found that the heating uniformity and thermal conductivity performance are OK, the state of the rice is relatively consistent, there is no pinching phenomenon, but the performance of the rice is a little different, the upper rice is slightly drier, and the lower rice is soft. It is hoped that the shape and thickness of the liner will be upgraded in the future.
The shape of the inner liner of Haier rice cooker is cylindrical, and in the process of use, it can be found that the thermal conductivity and heating uniformity are not particularly good, which may be caused by the relatively thin thickness of the inner tank, and the rice in the lower layer may be sandwiched.
How about Midea, Haier, and Gongling rice cookers? Presumably, everyone has a deeper understanding of different brands of rice cookers, and each product performs differently. The overall capacity of the Midea rice cooker is very large, which can meet the needs of a family, and the Haier rice cooker is relatively intelligent. But my favorite time is the Gongling rice cooker, the performance of this rice cooker is very good, the ripeness of the rice is very uniform, recently there are friends who want to buy a rice cooker, you can refer to it.
