Completely by experience and feeling. Is it true that only those excellent cooks can stew a pot of good meat? Is there any way to make "cooking white" stew good meat?
In fact, an electric pressure cooker can do it. Although many families are already using electric pressure cookers, there are still many problems to pay attention to in purchasing. Let's take a look today.
This article is an electric pressure cooker in the guide to the selection of Zhidian Select Edition.
Through the research and evaluation of a variety of electric pressure cookers, we summed up the checklist for the selection of electric pressure cookers, and integrated various knowledge points and selection points. Finally, according to the three dimensions of ultimate performance (luxury), comprehensive performance (strength), affordable and good performance (sex price), there are three electric pressure cookers on the list, and it is strongly recommended to read and collect them and share them with more people.
Select checklist list for electric pressure cooker
1. Working principle of electric pressure cooker
Electric pressure cooker uses the physical property that the boiling point of water is affected by air pressure, so that food can be cooked faster and more thoroughly.
Normal temperature is 1 atm. Under normal conditions, the boiling water is generally about 90- 105 degrees, the pressure in the electric pressure cooker is generally about 1.5 atm, and the boiling point of water is about1130 degrees.
2. Is the electric pressure cooker safe?
I often see the news of pressure cooker firecrackers on the internet. What is the reason? When the safety valve of the air outlet valve of the pressure cooker is blocked and the pressure cooker is still heated, it will explode when the air pressure in the cooker exceeds the pressure that the pressure cooker can bear. This often happens when the safety valve of pressure cooker fails and the fusible piece is not replaced in time.
Because of the introduction of the computer system, the pressure in the electric pressure cooker is controlled flexibly. Once the pressure in the cooker is too high, the computer will immediately cut off the power and maintain the pressure, effectively preventing the possibility of accidents caused by excessive pressure.
In addition, the electric pressure cooker has introduced new technologies such as dynamic sealing, external rotating cover, and electric switch with adjustable displacement, which basically eliminates the potential safety hazards of traditional pressure cookers. In addition, the intelligent setting of the temperature and time in the cooker also ensures the controllability of the temperature in the cooker, and the overall operating safety factor is naturally much higher.
Therefore, from a safety point of view, choosing an electric pressure cooker is more secure than choosing a traditional pressure cooker.
3. Select elements
First, cooking pressure
The electric pressure cooker realizes the rapid cooking of food by controlling the temperature and pressure. The greater the pressure, the shorter the cooking time. The cooking pressure of ordinary electric pressure cookers is 70kpa, while the cooking pressure of high-end products can reach more than 100 kpa.
Second, the heating mode
There are two main types of heating methods for electric pressure cookers, namely chassis heating and IH electromagnetic heating. Different heating methods will bring different cooking effects.
Chassis heating is pure heat conduction heating, which often appears in low-end products.
IH electromagnetic heating technology realizes the rapid and uniform heating of the inner pot itself through the frequency conversion of current. IH heating technology is beneficial to the accurate control of cooking pressure and the effective adjustment of cooking pressure range of electric pressure cooker, with high thermal efficiency, which is our recommended heating method.
Third, the inner container
There are two main types of electric pressure cookers in the market: stainless steel liners and coated liners.
Stainless steel liner is considered to be safer than coated liner, so there is no need to worry about the coating falling off and causing harm to human body. However, it should be noted that consumers must look at whether the stainless steel used meets the relevant national standards when purchasing stainless steel liners. Not all stainless steels are food grade.
Fourth, the operation panel
The operation panel is divided into mechanical panel and computer micro-control panel, and their cooking effects are the same, the main difference lies in the different input methods of control instructions.
The mechanical panel is manual, and the operation interface looks clear at a glance, which is more suitable for the elderly. Users can choose their own timing. For example, they like soft and rotten taste when stewing meat, and they can choose a longer time than recommended.
The microcomputer-based electric pressure cooker has more fashionable appearance, built-in program, one-button operation and more functions, such as reservation function.
Comparatively speaking, the failure rate of the computer version is higher than that of the mechanical version of the electric pressure cooker, because the control circuit of the microcomputer panel is more complicated, and the computer chips and electronic components are easy to be damaged under some extreme conditions (such as voltage instability and overpressure), while the mechanical panel has almost no these problems.
Fifth, capacity
The selection of electric pressure cooker capacity should consider the population. Families with 2-3 people should choose 4 liters, families with 3-5 people should choose 5 liters, and families with more than 6 people should choose 6 liters or 8 liters.
4. Which functions are more practical?
Open the lid halfway
Many enterprises have developed the function of opening the lid in the middle of the electric pressure cooker. Through the intelligent chip and solenoid valve, under the control of the computer, the user can open the lid and put in the ingredients, and then continue heating automatically.
Practical index:
Choice of mouth feel
Although the electric pressure cooker has set different cooking programs for various ingredients, this cooking program may not meet everyone's needs. After all, everyone has different tastes for food. The electric pressure cooker with taste selection function allows users to choose "hard", "moderate" or "soft" tastes.
Practical index:

Water-free stewing means that the ingredients can be stewed without adding water after being put into the electric pressure cooker. It uses the high sealing property of the electric pressure cooker to vaporize and evaporate the water rich in the ingredients and heat the food with steam. The advantage is that the original flavor of the food can be better maintained, but there may also be disadvantages such as uneven taste and dry taste.
Practical index:
I believe after reading this, everyone knows how to choose a good electric pressure cooker. After a lot of evaluation in Zhidian Laboratory and screening of a large number of products by product selection engineers, three types of electric pressure cookers have been included in the selection list of Zhidian Select. They are:
-0 1-
Light and luxurious electric pressure cookers know electricity selection number: 00 16
