The heating method of the rice cooker

Creating a cozy summer home that serves as a peaceful retreat requires careful selection of appliances that enhance comfort without compromising on style or efficiency. At Appliances 4 Less Savannah, we cater to residents in Savannah, Hilton Island, St Simons Island, and Hinesville with an array of open box, scratch, and dented appliances that are perfect for elevating your summer living. Here’s our guide to the essential appliances for a cozy summer home.


Rice is indispensable for every family every day. A good rice cooker can make life happier. When Xiaobai chooses a rice cooker, it is enough to keep in mind the inner performance and heating method, and the highlight of choosing a rice cooker is the heating method. Next, I will introduce the main heating methods of rice cookers.

1. Conventional chassis heating

Chassis heating is a traditional heating method. When the chassis is heated, the chassis then transfers heat to the bottom of the inner chamber, and the inner chamber then transfers heat to the ingredients. Because after two transits, the heat will naturally be lost, so the cooking speed is relatively slow. Moreover, only the bottom of the inner chamber is heated, which is easy to cause the inner chamber to be heated unevenly and the temperature cannot be accurately controlled. This kind of rice cooker has low technical content and cheap price. Convert electrical energy into heat energy through the chassis to transfer heat to cookware and food. Its advantages are mature technology, wide range of applications and low cost.

 

2. IH electromagnetic heating

After connecting to the current, the electromagnetic coil directly heats the metal inner casing, that is, three-dimensional cycle heating, which reduces the heat loss of the heating plate. Ordinary IH heating cannot guarantee the taste of rice, and the frequency conversion IH can control the output of power, which can control the temperature more finely. It can prevent the pot from smupping, and the rice made in this way tastes better. Its advantage is that it can achieve accurate control of temperature, and the heating is more uniform. Even if the inner casing falls off and deforms, it will not have a great impact on heating and can be used normally. In addition, this heating method is also easy to control and has good effect. Its disadvantages are that the cost is high and the noise is slightly loud. IH heating has a fan, and electromagnetic induction will make the inner casing produce some electric current sound, which will have a certain noise impact. In addition, IH heating is further divided into chassis heating and three-dimensional heating. The main difference between the two is the distribution of electromagnetic coils:

IH chassis heating: The coil is only arranged at the bottom, the main heating area is concentrated at the bottom, and the side wall heating effect is relatively weak. When heating with IH chassis, the rice is heated faster.

IH three-dimensional heating: The coil is distributed at the bottom and side wall, which can achieve all-round three-dimensional heating. When using IH three-dimensional heating, the rice will be heated more evenly and the taste will be more delicate.


3. Far infrared heating

Convert electrical energy into the internal energy of far infrared rays, and then convert it into thermal energy to heat food. Its advantage is that far-infrared rays can penetrate into food quickly and evenly to achieve rapid heating. It is usually used in combination with IH heating technology to achieve all-round three-dimensional heating from the bottom and top to the side wall. Through far-infrared light waves, it can penetrate the rice core, so that the rice grains are heated spontaneously. The heated surface of the rice grains is no longer a problem. The rice is heated more uniformly and thoroughly. The rice can fully release the original fragrance, making the rice more fluffy, sweet and chewy.

By combining the above methods, we can know that IH heating and far-infrared heating can provide a more uniform and faster heating effect, so as to cook more delicious rice. The heating method of the rice cooker is not only the progress of science and technology, but also the pursuit and yearning for a better life. From traditional chassis heating to modern IH electromagnetic heating, far-infrared heating, and then to pressure IH heating, each heating method carries the ultimate pursuit of rice taste.
