Ivy Batty, I'm slow. Starting from the first induction cooker, Xiaomi quickly captured the hearts of many users with high-quality workmanship materials, intelligent control and excellent face value. Today, in addition to the dual-port induction cooker, Xiaomi's induction cooker has not been new for a long time. Not long ago, Xiaomi released a new type of induction cooker. Compared with the previous millet induction cooker, it is not an upgraded product, but a newly designed differentiated product, focusing on ultra-thin design, and the appearance is changed to a rounded rectangular design. In terms of performance, it maintains many advantages of the old model, such as external temperature probe, smart app one-button cooking, 99-speed fire adjustment, and it can run continuously with ultra-low power of 1w in low temperature control, and it also adds NFC function, which can quickly enter the mobile app with one touch. What is the specific experience? Let's experience it.
Let's look at the appearance first. The upper part is black tempered glass, and the bottom part is dark gray control area. It also looks slim from the front.
Seen from the side, it is really very thin. The measured thickness of the foot pad is less than 23mm, which is more than half thinner than that of the conventional induction cooker.
the display and control parts are all integrated on the large OLED display screen on the right, which is not only a display screen, but also a knob or a button. It can be said that if minimalism is applied to the extreme, the font is still relatively large and the front view is more convenient. There are also two touch buttons on the side to control timing and cancellation respectively.
after a long press, you can switch between several preset programs by turning the OLED screen, and the preset programs are set with appropriate firepower and time.
after the single machine determines the program, rotating the OLED screen can also adjust the firepower.
there are always 1 gears of firepower that can be adjusted, and the firepower switch is linear, and the slow gear switch is small, changing by one bit. The faster the rotation, the faster the gear shift, changing by 1 bits.
there is also an nfc logo in the middle of the control area, which supports quick access to mobile apps with one touch.
as long as the mobile phone with nfc function is touched at the nfc sign, the system will automatically enter the Mijia app and enter the interface of the ultra-thin induction cooker, which is much faster than unlocking-opening the software-opening the submenu of our mobile phone.
continuing the past tradition, there is still an external temperature sensor in the middle of the induction cooker panel, which can more accurately detect the temperature at the bottom of the pot and link with the temperature control program on the app, taking the temperature as the preset, so that cooking can run stably at the set temperature.
At the same time, it also has the safety function of identifying the pot body. If the pot is not put on, the induction cooker will not start working.
the program will be started only after the pot body is automatically identified, so as to prevent accidents caused by dry burning.
there are large cooling holes around the back, and there is a fan inside to actively dissipate heat, so as to ensure the safety of internal electronic components.
This time, in addition to the induction cooker, a variety of supporting pots have been released. First, the new wok has a non-stick coating inside, and the lid is designed with a vertical lid, which is more convenient to use, and the handle of the wok also has an anti-scalding design.
the second one is that the square soup pot is more harmonious with the appearance of the square induction cooker, and there is also a non-stick coating inside, which is easy to clean.
finally, the square frying pan is matched in appearance, and also has a non-stick coating inside, and the handles on both sides are also equipped with silicone anti-scalding sleeves.
Slow-cook steak at low temperature
Let's take a look at the actual cooking experience. We know that the cooking of steak, especially for beginners, is difficult to master. Slow cooking at low temperature is a very good cooking method, which can be said to be almost zero failure. The method is to put the steak in a pot with a constant temperature of 65℃ for 1 hour, and then cook it slowly over high fire. In the past, low-temperature slow cooking required a special water bath pot, which cost more than 1 yuan. This time, Xiaomi's ultra-thin induction cooker is also equipped with a slow cooking program to see how the actual effect is. First of all, the supporting program has a detailed process.
Secondly, for each step, there will be corresponding steps and time prompts on the display screen of the induction cooker.
thanks to the sustainable 1w ultra-low power heating and the external temperature control probe, the measured water temperature can be kept at 65-66, and the temperature control is quite accurate. You know, the lowest power of an ordinary induction cooker can only be about 45w, and if it is lower, it will stop. This kind of slow cooking that requires low temperature and constant temperature is out of reach, which is why the constant temperature water bath pot is so expensive. Now Xiaomi's ultra-thin induction cooker can completely replace the water bath pot.
then, according to the tips of the app, suck up the water on the surface of the steak and heat the front and back sides of the butter for 15s, which is super simple.
the full-power firepower is enough, and the surface can be fried quickly.
The finished product is crispy on the outside, and there is still juice inside. Using slow cooking process, Xiaobai can make a perfect steak.
soup making
and how can other programs in the app be practical? Let's try to make a soup, use the soup making program, send it to the induction cooker with one click, and follow the steps.
The program will automatically turn from a large fire to a small fire, and then turn to a small fire when the water boils. It is convenient without manual intervention, and the preset small fire can also be kept in a very correct state.
after 2 hours of slow cooking, add vegetables and then cook according to the procedure.
It can be seen that the program menu is very practical, and Xiaobai can finish delicious dishes at home.
stir-fry
finally, try to stir-fry with the pre-made program in the machine to see how the firepower is.
the measured maximum firepower is about 18w.
It can be seen that the tomato scrambled egg pot is full of gas, and it is not necessary to lose the open fire to stir-fry quickly.
at first, the app can see many preset recipes, with detailed processes and preset firepower+time, which can help us to finish delicious food easily. At the same time, App can be said to be a supplement and extension of the host display. In the main interface of the app, you can see the state, mode, firepower and time of the induction cooker. In addition to the programs that come with the induction cooker, some common programs are preset on the app. Basically, the preset temperature and time of a process can be sent to the induction cooker and fixed for a long time, so you can directly operate it on the induction cooker next time.
finally, if nothing is suitable, you can set your own mode according to temperature+time or power+time. And you can set the name and send it to the induction cooker for permanent residence. For example, I used a fried popcorn program with a preset temperature of 17 +2 minutes.
send it to the induction cooker as a common program, and you can use it alone without the app next time.
using temperature as temperature control condition, frying temperature control is particularly good, and oil is no longer afraid of jumping everywhere. o (* *) o
well, this new product experience is here. Mijia's new ultra-thin induction cooker has made a more intuitive and convenient design for the control area of the induction cooker while continuing the intelligence, solid materials and fashionable appearance of Xiaomi induction cooker. At the same time, the newly added nfc function is very convenient to enter the program with one button. The 1w ultra-low power continuous heating brings a better cooking experience effect whether it is low-temperature cooking or slow-simmering, and the 21w high-power stir-frying does not lose the open flame cooking at all. At the same time, the square appearance and ultra-thin thickness give us another choice. Which of Xiaomi's three induction cookers will you choose? Welcome to leave a comment.
