Today’s products are becoming more and more intelligent, making it convenient for many “lazy people”. Cooking robots have emerged in recent years and are very useful for people who can’t cook or don’t have time to cook. Attractive, so, how does it feel to use the cooking robot? Is the automatic cooking machine an IQ tax? I will introduce it below.
How do you feel about using the cooking robot?
On the morning of December 7, the Nanjing Consumers Association conducted a comparative test on 20 cooking robots on the market. Most of the samples had serious cases of overheating in their shells. , many samples claim to be capable of one-click cooking and intelligent interconnection, but in actual use they cannot be realized or the usability is not good.
The Nanjing Consumers Association purchased 20 samples from offline physical stores (Suning.com, JD Five-Star), mainstream e-commerce platforms (JD Mall, Taobao, Tmall Mall) and other channels. The sales unit price Prices range from 799 yuan to 12,180 yuan, covering 20 brands and 18 manufacturers with sales on the market. The reporter noticed that these 20 smart food processors all claim to be healthy and have no or less oil fume. The promotional information of 12 models includes similar words such as easy to clean. Many products clearly state that they stir-fry evenly and have high thermal efficiency.
Through the test, it was found that among the 20 samples, all the cooking machines with stainless steel inner pots as cooking containers had the phenomenon of sticking to the pan and being difficult to clean. Smart food processors that use stainless steel blades as mixing tools are difficult to disassemble and assemble, making cleaning more difficult.
The cooking performance of the 20 smart food processors differs significantly. Among them, the stir-frying uniformity of 8 samples reached above 95, and the stir-frying uniformity of 5 samples was below 70. More than half of the samples produced more than 0.5g of oil fume, far exceeding the limit on the amount of oil fume produced in T/CAS 332-2019 "Technical Specification for Evaluation of Intelligent Level of Household Cooking Machines".
When the samples are in use, the temperature rise of the outer shell is generally high. Among the 20 samples, the temperature rise value of 16 samples exceeded 60K within 10 minutes, which can easily cause burns if not protected during use. Some food processors have high electromagnetic radiation values, which may cause certain harm to the health of users.
Some smart food processor products have confusing labeling and exaggerated publicity. For example, 12 products have words such as non-stick pan, non-stick pan, and easy to clean on the website, outer packaging or instructions, but in the actual test, only 5 samples can clean the cooking container easily and quickly. Many samples claimed to have functions such as one-touch cooking and smart interconnection, but in actual tests they could not be realized or the usability was not good.
Is the automatic cooking machine an IQ tax?
As you can see from the name, the automatic cooking machine is a kitchen appliance that cooks automatically and does not need to be attended to. To put it more simply, it relies on a new generation of microcomputers. Technology, intelligently controlled cooking equipment, especially simple to operate, less oil, smokeless, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, can replace manual labor in automatically performing a series of cooking processes such as frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, cooking, popping, steaming, and stewing. Just prepare the ingredients in advance according to the recipe, add the seasonings according to the prescribed ratio, start the machine, and the machine will automatically control the stir-frying and heat.
The structure of the cooking machine is relatively simple, mainly including the pot body, inner pot, outer pot, heater, intelligent controller, stirring paddle, etc. The principle is to follow the set process, imitate human mixing operations, automatically stir evenly, and achieve various operations such as stir-frying, frying, and stewing.
Some people, especially people with certain cooking skills, think that automatic cooking machines are just concepts, just to pay an IQ tax and coax people.
In fact, this is not correct. The automatic cooking machine is a complete "good news" in the kitchen for those who are new to cooking. It is simple to operate and requires no supervision. Just follow the menu and cook a delicious dish quickly. It is very feasible and also It brings beautiful enjoyment and happiness to life, and the couple does not have to argue over who cooks. Not only does it not have to eat takeout every day, it also saves time and money.
