Breaking the price convention time and time again is a brand characteristic held by Xiaomi. Some time ago, Xiaomi released its first rice cooker and named it as “IH Rice Cookerâ€, which is priced at RMB 999. For consumers who do not understand the rice cooker market, this price is indeed a startling surprise. However, Xiaomi’s publicity was “The rice cooker sold in Japanâ€.
There are many brands of homemade rice cookers. Many people think that the price of an ordinary rice cooker is only about RMB 200,300, but the taste and texture of rice depends on the quality of rice. It seems to be simple. In fact, the rice cooker's ability to cook rice is also a key factor in determining "a pot of good food." Together with the continuous development of home appliances, Xiaomi rice cooker as a member of the ecological chain, adding intelligent hardware modules, really let Risotto is more convenient and precise.
The basic parameters, millet pressure IH rice cooker capacity is 3.0L, net weight and volume similar to ordinary rice cookers on the market, the biggest bright spot is still in the cast iron liner, IH heating, millet pressure IH rice cooker design has a concise literature Sense, I believe most people are unfamiliar with this parameter, but must admit that Xiaomi's product is simple and practical.
Well-packaged accessories individually packaged
Millet rice cooker pressure IH heating method, in the rice cooker industry is positioned as the "third generation of high-end rice cookers", while supporting WIFI connection APP operation, millet home intelligence in the rice cooker body once again take a step, a word: practical and simple as the basis, Smart and people-oriented. The packaging of millet variety products retains the original color, and the simple style is the characteristic of millet.
Millet rice cookers are shipped in two-story kraft paper cartons. The inner kraft paper box is designed with a hand-held device. The specific information of the product is affixed on the lower left side. This is a common packaging for millet products.
The inner surface of the box is printed with the inner lid removed, and the accessories of the rice cooker are individually packaged. The bottom of the box is packed with a hand-held storage bag, which is convenient for carrying.
The included accessories are individually packaged, each containing 1 tablespoon of 1 tablespoon 1 Power cord 1 Manual and warranty card 1 Quick guide 1. The accessories are not much but the materials are very good, and the sense of low price is avoided.
Inside a layer of plastic film to prevent scratching, the amount of rice cups are also nested into a custom storage bag, millet rice cooker packaging is excellent, to protect the consumer's hand in the foolproof.
Millet rice cooker rice spoon and spoon texture is very good, more than 200 yuan rice cooker rice cooker on the market, has a more good texture, there is not much odor, and rice scoop carefully designed support frame, placed on the desktop also Will not get dirty. The power cord has 3C certification, and the meter cup has a reference scale, which is safe and convenient enough to use.
Chic white LEDs need to be improved
The design of millet rice cookers continues the integrated compact design of Xiaomi's series of products, using a pure white color scheme. The texture of the body's paint-like material is good, but it is easy to leave a fingerprint. Fortunately, it can be easily wiped away. To be placed in every corner of the home is very conspicuous, if you log in millet official website can be found, millet's Internet radio, water purifiers and other home products are using this design language.
Millet rice cooker shape can be divided into two parts, one part is the inside of the fuselage, the other part of the cover part, designed for the distribution of 3:1. The front button has a "gray button on the Mi's logo." The main function is to turn on the rice cooker.
As a matter of course, millet pressure IH rice cooker shape is very chic, suitable for home decoration. The triangular power socket is also cleverly placed on the right side of the lower side. When the front is placed, the “gap†of the power source is not seen. The integrated simple design is very beautiful, and the side of the millet rice cooker has no labels, it is clean and white, so it is used for a long time. Always clean the airframe regularly.
The rebound performance of the top cover of the rice cooker is also worth investigating. When comparing the millet rice cooker with the self-operated rice cooker, it can be found that the opening speed of the millet rice cooker is more moderate than that of the rice cooker next to it, so that it can be avoided when it is placed against the wall. The strength of the lid is too large, and it may hit the body.
At the top of the rice cooker, there is a warning message near the steam exhaust outlet. This warning is very important for standard use. After the appearance and design, let's take a look at the control panel. The control menu of Xiaomi’s rice cooker is at the bottom. It is used to display “white†LED lights as a function of time cooking mode. Obviously, the white LED display is similar to the white body during the daytime. It is difficult to see the content, and the disadvantage of Xiaomi Rice Cooker is that it is not equipped with a liquid crystal display like some high-end rice cookers, so this is a minority that needs improvement, but it has the advantage of being able to connect mobile phones.
The smart module is placed on the back side of the fuselage and is also the switch connection point. The bottom of the millet rice cooker is equipped with four round feet, and the front and rear parts are joined to the grid to dissipate heat. Since the rice cooker uses a heavy weight iron kettle, Therefore, the design of the handle is not added, but there is a recessed handle design on the bottom side. Therefore, it is necessary to use both hands to move it safely.
Millet pressure rice cooker with pure white glossy surface, rectangular arc angle processing, excellent workmanship, removable inner cover cleaning, body size is 300 x 251 x 212 (mm), body weight is 6.45kg, design is small and easy to move, inside The material of the gallbladder is cast iron, which can reach 1.2 atmospheres as the control point through IH heating technology. This is the most sweet value for rice. Included are a spoon, spoon, measuring cup and power cord that can be manipulated using the fuselage panel or APP.
Liner texture removable design
The interior of the rice cooker is a “technical activityâ€. The interior design of the millet rice cooker award is easily detachable. There are text reminders for the demolition operation. For example, pushing the inner lid upwards opens it easily and it is easy to install it without any difficulty.
The inside cover, the anti-blocking cover, and the foam breaking device included in the interior of the rice cooker can be manually disassembled and cleaned. The quick disassembly guide is introduced in detail because text reminders are added everywhere. Uncles and aunts can easily disassemble the rice cookers. , so the cleaning is very difficult.
The official name of the inner pot is “Flame Iron Kettleâ€. The material of the inner liner is gray cast iron. It is very thick and heavy, and the surface material is also smooth. The inside of the iron kettle is marked with the cooking porridge. The water level and the reference water level line for the rice seedlings in the northeast are not large enough for the 3L, but they are basically sufficient.
The iron kettle liner adopts a bowl-shaped flat bottom design. When cooking, the heat will be more even. The gray cast iron material has better rust resistance, better insulation, and higher cost than the inner materials such as stainless steel and copper. The iron kettle is also food-grade PFA. Powder coating with non-stick properties.
Those who have watched the rice cooker propaganda video should remember that when the staff turned the cooked whole rice upside down, the rice fell down completely. So I also tried to invert the cooked rice directly. The final answer was that the rice would fall completely. It had the characteristics of non-stick pan. Of course there were still a few rice remaining.
Easy manipulation of APP with professional mode
The practice of adding smart modules is quite obvious for the operation upgrade. The connection of the millet rice cooker's equipment is the same as other intelligent hardware. Through millet smart home APP, the new device millet rice cooker is connected. After the connection is successful, the rice cooker's back WIFI indicator light turns blue. At this point the APP can control the rice cooker, and the fuselage panel can continue to operate.
Like other home smart hardware, APP can control most of the functions of Xiaomi rice cooker, such as alarm notification, cover alarm, panel display, and automatic heat preservation. This rice cooker has more function settings than traditional rice cookers. Customization makes cooking more convenient and practical.
The default operation modes on the home page correspond to those on the panel, but the difference is that the function expansion of the mode in the APP is much more comprehensive. Open the "cooking mode" and the App locates my position and judges the altitude. You can choose the type of rice yourself (you can also scan the bar code to identify), taste soft, medium and hard readily available, while adding a custom taste curve, flexible operation, professional players can stretch, cooking time for one hour.
However, the ordinary users need to cook the rice to grasp the time, do not want to think too much trouble cooking this matter, so millet cooking mode is basically enough, especially the appointment is very flexible and convenient to cook rice, the first rice Amoy Good place to set a good cooking time, running status can be viewed through the APP, APP will prompt the completion of the machine will issue an alarm, cooking this thing can still be very lazy.
The rice cooker is determined not to let you be lazy. As an intelligent rice cooker, it is not only simple to cook rice and porridge, APP is added to various types of recipes, and cakes, yogurts, etc. are built in the home page, and the food is displayed in a visually intuitive manner. For users, during holidays, they can create foods by using rice cookers to move their mobile phones. If millet joins the online purchase of ingredients, then the production of rice cookers is more convenient and the intelligent rice cookers will be more attractive.
Of course, the function is far more than simple . In my opinion, the scene mentioned in the article is enough for the Xiaomi rice cooker. Of course, it also provides channels for making food.
The fragrant rice is rich in porridge
Millet pressure IH rice cooker has a certain understanding of the appearance and APP, and it uses pressure IH technology and gray cast iron material liner in the heating technology to ensure that cooking the basic conditions of "a pot of good food", but cooking The taste of rice and rice is also very important. I chose to cook the rice and porridge separately. See the results below.
The steps of cooking rice are the same as those of ordinary rice cookers. After the rice is washed into the iron kettle, the difference is that due to the pressure IH electromagnetic heating method, the rice cooker will automatically adjust the temperature and time according to the amount of water, and the amount of water will not be used at all. I am worried that I have put three cups of rice for about two people. I will put water in the inner water level line of the rice cooker for one hour.
Try to open the lid half way to see the state of cooking rice and other rice cookers cooking is not much difference.
The millet rice cooker repeatedly emphasized the non-stick properties of the liner. The monkey's mother also did such an experiment: just after 2 minutes of rice was directly inverted, the rice could be completely detached, which confirmed the non-stick properties of the millet rice cooker. Of course, there will still be a few metres left on the liner, which is convenient for cleaning after cooking.
The cooking tastes richer. Put in the appropriate amount of water according to the water level in the inner tank. The alarm sounds for about an hour and a half. The fragrance spreads out when the lid is not opened. The consistency of the porridge is just right. It is very smooth and smooth. The water level line will not have to worry about the porridge being boiled out and it will be too thin. The taste of the porridge is very good with the pickled mustard.
Conclusion
Millet pressure IH rice cooker's white and simple shape, Founder design fine craftsmanship, can be described as "in whichever home" are the feeling of envy, well packaged and removable and easy to clean design, is the advantage of millet rice cooker, plus carefully built The iron kettle liner, from the perspective of the price of high-end rice cookers, 999 yuan millet rice cookers cost-effective, can be regarded as inheriting the "high with low price" features, not by the price of liquid crystal displays is its disadvantage.
