Last summer vacation, my mother went to my brother's house. Although there were only three people left in the family, they ate a lot of food at one meal. Although it took only ten minutes to clean this pile of dishes, it took a long time to convince myself to do it. So I either wash the dishes every day or convince myself to do it. After so many days, I finally decided to try the dishwasher again one day.
It's been a long time, and I can't remember the process. I deliberately found out the instructions and found that the shortest process actually takes only 40 minutes. In the process of using, I found that as long as the tableware is properly placed, it can be washed very clean. The best thing is that it can be dried after washing, warm and shiny, and more lovely than new. Many of my previous misunderstandings about it were caused by my panic under the supervision of my mother.
However, with the return of my mother, the dishwasher is deeply idle. I tried to persuade my mother to use the dishwasher, and she flew into a rage, thinking it was a disgrace to herself.
Their generation, will start work, will never use machines. One feels lazy, the other feels that it costs water and electricity. Most importantly, they don't know how much water and electricity they use. They were very alarmed when they saw the machine rumbling. I still remember my mother-in-law once came to my house and sat next to the washing machine, waiting for it to stop. The whole country seems to have gone through a great test. It is also a challenge for them to turn on the heating boiler in winter. They can't accept consumption when they are asleep, and think that the pursuit of comfort is a great sin.
Therefore, not only dishwashers, but also sweepers, all kinds of things that can make sounds and finally appear in family public spaces are idle lives. Perhaps dishwashers will be popularized only when people of our generation who have no deep memory of poverty and hunger are old, housework is more socialized, and young people no longer need more help from the elderly.
Those who say that washing is not clean or utilities are basically hearsay and never used. I used it for 4 years, comfortable! Except for steamed eggs and fish dishes, which need to be treated manually, everything else should be treated directly in the dishwasher. I don't know if it's enough to wash once a day at night for a family of three or four. As for water and electricity, don't you know that the water in the dishwasher is recycled when washing? Far more water-saving than hand washing. Isn't it a pleasure to spend more than one yuan and two yuan a day and spend more than one hour playing with your family and children?
The commercial kitchen market mainly includes three types of hardware equipment. The first type is storage equipment, such as refrigerators; The second category is cooking equipment, such as dumpling machine; The third category is cleaning tools, such as dishwashers. Liu Changyi's clear understanding and judgment in this field is the reason why he chose to cut into commercial dishwashers.
At present, the popularity of dishwashers in developed countries such as Europe and America is about 70%, while only 200,000 of the 7 million restaurants in China are using this machine. The market is still in its early stage, and the annual demand growth rate exceeds 30%, showing a blue ocean.
In addition, with the disappearance of the domestic demographic dividend, the labor force engaged in dishwashing is generally older, which makes it difficult to attract young people to engage in high-intensity and low-wage jobs, resulting in an increase in labor costs year by year, and an urgent need for efficient and standardized dishwashers.
According to Liu Changyi, several large companies have emerged in the field of commercial kitchen equipment in the United States, such as ITW Group, whose food equipment department mainly sells commercial kitchen equipment including dishwashers, with annual sales of about 2 billion US dollars; Another enterprise, Yikang Group, is the cleaning department of public institutions, mainly covering the dishwasher business of social restaurants. According to the market value of the group, this business line is worth $4 billion.
When visiting Japan, which is highly similar to China's catering market, Liu Changyi found that the company with the largest market value of Japanese catering industry is not a catering company, but a company named Qi Xing, which produces commercial catering equipment such as dishwashers, with a market value of 67 billion US dollars.
"When I saw several mature big companies abroad, it gave me great confidence. Coupled with the maturity of technology and the huge domestic market space, I judge that there will be large companies in this field in China in the future, and the market value can even reach 654.38+00 billion US dollars. "
I am particularly interested in seeing this question raised by netizens, because I am a foodie who loves cooking but hates washing dishes. I believe most people are the same. I especially envy the heroines in various American dramas for putting their dishes in the dishwasher so that they can continue their free love with the hero. ...
Actually, dishwashers have been developed for hundreds of years. In European and American countries, the penetration rate of dishwashers exceeds 70%, and even reaches about 80% in some areas. Dishwashers, like range hoods and gas stoves, have almost become a necessary kitchen (kitchen decoration renderings) electrical product for every family. However, the survey report shows that the market share of dishwashers among urban residents in China is only 0.9%.
For most domestic families, washing dishes is a boring and painful thing, which may even lead to family disputes because of who should wash dishes. And the dishwasher can solve this problem very well! But why don't everyone buy it! ?
Let's first popularize the general usage of household dishwashers:
If the dishwasher is so convenient, why is it not used in our community? Let me summarize some misunderstandings about dishwashers by ordinary people in China at present:
1, think the dishwasher is expensive.
Many people will think that dishwashers are not so much ordinary household appliances as luxury goods. In most people's impression, the price of dishwasher must be very expensive.
In fact, I went to JD.COM and Taobao to search, and found that the prices of ordinary dishwashers that are currently selling well are generally in the range of 3,000 ~ 5,000, which is not the tens of thousands of high prices that everyone imagined.
2. Feel that the dishwasher wastes water and electricity.
Recently, the National Household Appliance Quality Supervision and Inspection Center organized a comparative experiment of water and electricity consumption between dishwashing and manual dishwashing. The two groups cleaned 76 pieces of tableware with the same pollution degree and size respectively, and compared the water consumption and power consumption. The experimental results are surprising. Machine washing is more energy-saving and water-saving than hand washing.
With a dishwasher, the average water consumption is only a quarter of that of hand washing. This is because China people are used to washing dishes under tap water, which is a great waste of water resources. When washing dishes with hot water in winter, the power consumption of heating water is three times that of dishwasher.
However, I also want to point out that this experiment is based on the conclusion that a lot of dishes are washed. If it's just a few bowls and chopsticks in our usual family of three, it should be more water-saving and electricity-saving.
3. I feel that the food is not clean.
In the early days, the domestic market capacity of domestic dishwashers was small, and domestic manufacturers did not seriously invest in research and development except for poor imitation. Most imported dishwashers are designed for their local home life. Dishes can be washed very clean, but our bowls are often not. So the impression that the dishwasher in China can't be cleaned should be formed at that time.
Dishwashers on the market now have special shelves (shelf decoration renderings) suitable for placing Chinese tableware, which can make our usual bowls cleaner and more suitable for users in China.
Although the present dishwashers have been greatly improved, and the products are constantly adapting to China families, there are still several objective problems that hinder the popularization of dishwashers in China.
First: the problem of concept. Everyone thinks: aren't those bowls? Just wash after dinner. This is the same as many older people's attitude towards washing machines: just washing a few clothes is convenient, so why use washing machines?
Second: the problem of face. Now four or five thousand dollars can buy a big color TV and a three-door refrigerator. These home appliances are still very stylish at home, but the dishwasher hidden by the sink under the countertop may not have such a face.
Third: the structure of the kitchen. The dishwasher needs a sewer where it is installed. In foreign countries, when building a house, the builder will set aside a place to put the dishwasher in the kitchen in advance, and the water supply and drainage will also be reserved in advance, so he bought the dishwasher himself and installed it. Most residential areas in China (even villas (villa decoration renderings)) do not have this design.
Fourth: living habits. China's family is generally a family of three, so eating a meal requires a bowl in front of each person, a plate for each dish, a pair of chopsticks and a spoon for each person, and the total amount is relatively small. Therefore, for families in China, the number of dishes and chopsticks in a meal is even less than half that of a dishwasher, which is not worth it for people in China who have always been thrifty. If you want to save two or three meals for washing, on the one hand, it is psychologically unacceptable, on the other hand, some oil stains and food will become extremely difficult to clean after one day, even if they look clean, they will not be at ease.
Conclusion: Dishwashers are actually a good choice for people who are too lazy to wash dishes. I look forward to the popularization of dishwashers in China in the future. However, if washing dishes at home is generally solved by guessing boxing, and the opportunity to wash dishes deprives the family of the fun, then for the sake of family happiness, I still suggest you continue to wash by hand.
Tell me how I feel.
Go to a friend's house for dinner. After cleaning up a pile of dirty dishes, I rolled up my sleeves and wanted to wash the dishes as usual. The friend proudly said that there is no need to wash it. I have a dishwasher.
So I stood by and watched her put every greasy dish under the tap and put it in the dishwasher one by one. The whole process took seven or eight minutes.
After reading it, my friend's hands were dirty and I was tired of reading it. If it had taken so long, I would have washed it long ago.
I always think that people should do more activities, so I do all the housework by myself, provided that I have time.
So I regard washing dishes as a job to help digestion with a full meal, and I am used to it. I think it only takes a few minutes to wash a few bowls. Why use the dishwasher?
What's more, the dishwasher consumes a lot of water. If you don't do the front-end work like my friend, it is estimated that you can't clean the greasy dishes.
The average family only has a few people to eat, and there are so many dishes. It takes 10 minutes to wash them. You can also wear gloves to wash, for fear of hurting your hands.
If you have a dishwasher, you don't have to wash the dishes after dinner. You are still playing with your mobile phone on the sofa. It's better to wash dishes, clean up and exercise.
If the work is busy and the time is short, and there is no old man or nanny at home to help share the housework, it is necessary to buy a dishwasher, if not to save working time, at least it is good to spend more time on the sofa.
But at present, all the housework at home are middle-aged and elderly people, and their ideas are basically the same as mine. Is it difficult to wash these bowls? Why not do more? Is it necessary to buy a dishwasher?
The people who advocate the use of dishwashers are generally young people, who are busy with work and like to play games, play mobile phones, get together and chat in their spare time. For them, they absolutely don't want to do what machines can do.
Even sweeping the floor is to buy a sweeping robot to sweep.
If it is a small family of young couples, I guess this dishwasher, like the washing machine, must be equipped.
Finally, there is another reason. Dishwashers with good quality and full functions are expensive, which is one of the reasons why dishwashers are not popular in daily life.
We are both very diligent, and we don't shirk all kinds of housework except washing dishes. Therefore, the dishwasher is the first choice for home appliances in decoration, and it is definitely a weapon to liberate oneself and maintain family harmony. As for why such a sharp weapon has not been popularized, I think there are several reasons:
1, completely imported, it has not been in China for a long time, and it is not a necessary household appliance. Many people don't know much about it.
2. Price: When I bought a dishwasher a few years ago, there were almost no dishwashers in China, only Siemens and several brands, and the price was not cheap, close to five figures, which hindered its popularization to some extent. But now there are more domestic brands and the overall price has dropped a lot.
3, design, because it is imported, the original design is aimed at foreigners' tableware, no matter the shape of tableware, the characteristics of stains are very different from Chinese food, so it will be a bit out of place. However, domestic products are still in the imitation stage, and they are not well adjusted according to the characteristics of Chinese food, so some people will find it difficult to use.
4, the cost of use, many people will think that the dishwasher costs water and electricity, adding dishwashing blocks, whitening agents, softening salt, etc. are all costs.
5. Resistance of the elderly. Nowadays, many young people live with their parents, and almost all housework is arranged by their parents. They are naturally resistant to dishwashers and the like. First, I am used to hard work, and second, I feel that I have to pay for water and electricity.
However, I think washing dishes is becoming more and more popular. After all, like other household appliances, they can free our hands and improve our quality of life. According to my own experience, as long as it is properly placed, the washing is still very clean. As for the water consumption, in fact, in order to achieve the same cleanliness, it is necessary to keep running water by hand. Actually, it's about the same. Of course, the overall cost will definitely be higher than manual work, but the time for washing dishes is also precious. Is it not good to be liberated? As for the elderly, it turns out that their parents are very resistant when they are around, but if you let them use it several times, they will be deeply fascinated. After all, who likes washing dishes every day?
Why is the dishwasher not popular in daily life? In fact, young people nowadays, especially after 90, have a high acceptance of dishwashers. As long as the budget is sufficient, they will basically reserve a place for decoration.
Most people who are prejudiced against dishwashers are parents. Their generation thinks that nothing is cleaner than hand washing, and it is most appropriate to do everything by yourself. In addition, the price of the product itself is not low, and water and electricity are needed when it is used. This is an invisible "huge sum".
A small part of the reason is that many homes have been renovated, and it is very troublesome to change the water, electricity and kitchen layout to make embedded dishwashers, while the capacity of buying independent desktop dishwashers is relatively small.
To sum up, the above three reasons lead to the lack of popularity of dishwashers in daily life.
How many misunderstandings do you have about the dishwasher? 1. Washing dishes with a dishwasher is better than washing them by hand.
Under the high temperature and high pressure of the dishwasher, the sterilization rate can reach 99.9%, which is equivalent to 12 hands washing dishes at the same time. There is nothing wrong with washing the pot with a large-capacity dishwasher, which is definitely much cleaner than washing it by hand. You can rest assured.
2. Dishwashers need high utilities to support them?
Compared with hand washing, dishwashers need electricity, but less than once every time. If you have kitchen treasures in your home, you will consume about the same amount of energy. As for the water consumption, washing dishes with a dishwasher is only one-third of that by hand, which can be said to be very water-saving.
3. The bigger the dishwasher, the better?
The bigger the dishwasher, the better. It is suggested to buy three sets: 6 sets, 8 sets and 13 sets.
Two people use six sets, six bowls and plates plus some cups and chopsticks. And the pot is very cramped. The pot should not exceed 28cm. We usually use 30cm and 32cm pots.
A family of three uses 8 sets of double-layer bowl baskets, which can hold 8 rice bowls and deep dishes. There is room for eight cups and four bowls.
After putting the pot, it is more than enough, and it can also put five big bowls, two small bowls and six or seven plates.
A family of five 13 sets, 3-layer bowl rack, can hold 13 rice bowls and plates. Small objects such as spoons and chopsticks are placed on the top floor, common bowls and plates are placed on the middle floor, and large and heavy pots and chopping boards are placed on the bottom floor.
Finally, I am a fan.
We provide overall decoration services including design, construction and main materials for Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu, and have served more than 6,000 families in the past five years. The reputation and praise of customers are far ahead of the industry level.
If you have decoration needs, please feel free to trust me ~
I use it every day and have bought it for a year. The fee shall not exceed 1 yuan each time. It's convenient, but I don't think it's popular. Reason: 1. Many people think that washing is not clean, spending money and wasting water. In fact, it is far more water-saving than ordinary people, and the publicity is not enough. 2. Embedded dishwashers are more suitable for small houses. Consider them when water and electricity enter the market, unless you buy them later. So you should think it over before decorating. 3. Insufficient publicity. Personally, I think the dishwasher is much more practical than the disinfection cabinet.
Although many people have heard of dishwashers, at present, dishwashers are not widely used in China. In fact, because of the different cooking methods in Europe and America, there is no chance to stir-fry many times, so there is not much oil left. At this point, washing can be easily completed by using the dishwasher. At the same time, the level of consumers in Europe and America is high, and the demand for such products is also increasing. However, although such products are being popularized at a high speed in China, it will take some time to reach the high popularization rate in other countries.
There are actually four reasons why China people choose not to buy dishwashers. The first point is that consumers think it is unnecessary to buy a dishwasher. At present, most consumers still wash dishes by hand after meals, so they don't need to spend a lot of time like dishwashers. But in fact, as long as you put the dishes in the dishwasher, you no longer need to manage them, which will save a lot of time in the long run. Instead of manual labor, it also allows users to relax as much as possible during this time.
Secondly, some consumers think that dishwashers can't completely remove dirt. In fact, the high-pressure spray system is used in the dishwasher, which can completely wash away the stains inside the dishwasher through the high-temperature and high-pressure water flow. If the used users still feel that the cleaning is not thorough, it may actually be because the location is not reasonable enough.
At the same time, the price of dishwasher is also an important factor affecting consumers' purchase. At present, the price of many models of dishwashers is maintained at more than 3500 yuan. The high price is only used to clean dishes and chopsticks, which also makes many consumers flinch from such products.
Finally, at present, houses in many cities don't have much room for kitchens. Not only is there no way to install a dishwasher, but there may be no "shelter" for the dishwasher. The objective reason of this kind of kitchen has also caused many consumers to buy dishwashers, but they can't use them.
Although the current domestic dishwasher penetration rate is still not high, but from the growth figures, the current dishwasher market is in a high-speed development stage. Under the education of dishwasher manufacturers to consumers, the domestic dishwasher market has also ushered in a round of "outbreak".
Personally, I like dishwashers very much. It's very clean. As long as it is not particularly solid rice grains or mushy things, it can be washed very clean, especially oily things. Dishwasher, too convenient, suitable for people who don't like washing dishes. It is enough to turn on the dishwasher once a night. All bowls, pots and pans are put in and washed, or washed with 75 degrees water. But the size must be enough, too small is annoying. Some people find it hard to use, so it depends on their own usage. It can basically replace more than 98% of the labor force, and it does not hurt hands and is fast. Especially in winter. . . Or when there are many bowls and chopsticks.
The feeling of not washing dishes is really beyond the reach of people who wash dishes by hand. Washing dishes by hand is very greasy. Wearing gloves can prevent it, but I feel that wearing hands is not flexible. I believe many people have this experience. If you don't take it, your hands will definitely become rough over time, that's for sure. The less you soak your hands in water, the more delicate and smooth your hands will be.
