There are these differences between rice cookers and electric rice cookers. Do you know them?

Electric rice cookers and rice cookers are both indispensable electrical appliances in our daily lives, but few people know the difference between the two. Many people just buy them casually without considering the advantages and disadvantages of the two. In fact, there are many differences between them in appearance, function, price, design purpose, structure, control method, etc. People need to have a deep understanding before buying and choose the most appropriate one according to their needs.

1. Superficial differences :

1. Appearance: The appearance of an electric rice cooker is like a thermos bucket, and it is similar to an ordinary cooking pot, except that it uses electricity.

2. Function: Electric rice cookers are generally used for steaming rice, making soup, etc., and generally cannot be used for cooking. Nowadays, rice cookers generally have a slight pressure, which gives them a bit of a pressure cooker feel, but rice cookers can be used for cooking. Of course, the rice cooker can also cook soup and steam rice, but the quality of the steamed rice is much worse.

3. Price: The most common rice cooker costs only a few dozen yuan, and the one with the least functions costs 150 yuan.

(II) Deeper differences :

1. Differentiate uses from the design : The difference between an electric rice cooker and an electric rice cooker is that the pot and lid of an electric rice cooker are connected, which is good for keeping warm, while the pot and lid of an electric rice cooker are separated. In terms of use, an electric rice cooker can steam and cook food and rice, and in addition, it can also steam cakes or make soup.

2. Differences in structure, function and control method :

1. From the original ordinary type with exposed inner pot to the current luxurious all-inclusive type;

2. From the single function of cooking rice to the functions of cooking porridge, soup, steaming cakes, etc.;

3. The control method has also developed from simple mechanical control to computer control, fuzzy control, etc.

3. Control method . According to the control method, rice cookers can be divided into mechanical control type, computer control type and electronic control type.

1. Mechanical rice cookers have similar functions to traditional rice cookers, are mainly used for cooking rice, and are cheaper;

2. Electronic cookers are intermediate products. They are slightly more expensive than mechanical cookers and not as powerful as computer cookers. Their position in the market is rather awkward.

3. Computer-type rice cooker is also called microcomputer intelligent rice cooker. It uses a microcomputer for sensor measurement to control subtle changes in boiling temperature. Its power is about 800 watts, which is beneficial to energy saving.

In addition, the newly emerging square pot is smaller, but the capacity of the inner pot has not been reduced, which is more in line with the modern people's pursuit of small and exquisite fashion concept, but the square pot has very high requirements for craftsmanship and technology.
