In the early days, we used traditional rice cookers without electricity to cook rice. With the continuous updating of technology, there are two different heating rice cookers on the market today, namely IH heating rice cookers and hot plate rice cookers. IH Heated rice cookers are mainly used for multi-function rice cookers (smart rice cookers), and hot plate rice cookers are used for household and industrial rice cookers. So what is the difference between IH heated rice cookers and hot plate rice cookers? These two heating methods have their own advantages and characteristics, let us take a look at them together.
The IH heating mode is a hot technology in recent years. Its working principle is to generate a magnetic field through an electromagnetic coil, and the inner tank directly generates heat, skipping the heat conduction process of the hot plate. The IH heating rice cooker generates heat directly through the inner pot without heat loss, so the heat conversion rate is particularly high, up to 95%. In addition, IH heating is uniform because heating is completed through the entire bottom of the pot. This means the rice will be cooked more evenly, without the top being cooked but the bottom still raw. IH heating rice cookers can save electricity because IH heating is very efficient. Compared with hot plate rice cookers of the same power, IH heating pots are more energy-saving when used. Although IH heating rice cookers have the above advantages, they also have many disadvantages. For example, the price of IH heating rice cookers is relatively high. In addition, because it uses high-tech technology, the temperature control system is prone to failure and requires more careful use and maintenance.
On the contrary, a hot plate rice cooker heats the hot plate at the bottom first, which conducts the heat to the bottom of the inner pot, and then the inner pot transfers the heat to the ingredients inside.Hot plate rice cooker also has its own advantages compared to IH heating rice cooker. First of all, the hot plate rice cooker is simple and convenient to use, is not prone to malfunctions in control, and is relatively low-priced. It is very practical for ordinary families. Secondly, the hot plate rice cooker is relatively durable and easy to maintain. Rice cookers with hot plate generally have a long life.There won't be too many quality issues even after years of use.Finally, the hot plate rice cooker can also be kept warm, which can keep the rice at a suitable temperature and extend the edible time of the rice.
IH heating rice cookers and hot plate rice cookers each have their own advantages and disadvantages. When purchasing a rice cooker, we can choose the appropriate rice cooker based on our actual needs. No matter which heating method is used, rice cookers are important partners in our lives, making our lives more convenient and comfortable. However, the future trend of rice cookers will mostly be based on hot plate rice cookers, because this type of rice cooker is cost-effective and has a longer service life. This is why major rice cookers are still using a large number of hot plate rice cookers.Greevinci has 25 years of manufacturing experience in the rice cooker hot plate industry.
