The service life of the rice cooker
The national standard for the use of rice cookers is 5 years.
Because the power cord, computer motherboard magnets and other accessories inside are exposed to high temperature for a long time, they are prone to aging, and accidents such as short circuits are prone to occur. But at present, Chinese people do not pay much attention to these aspects. Generally, they have to wait until they are broken and can no longer be used before replacing them with new ones. Conditional advice is best to replace it after five or six years.
How to prolong the service life of the rice cooker:
1. Avoid collision and deformation at the bottom of the pot. The space between the heating plate and the inner pot must be kept clean, and the rice grains should not fall into the heating plate, which will affect the thermal efficiency or even damage the heating plate.
2. The inner pot can be washed with water, but the outer casing and heating plate should not be soaked in water, and only wipe with a damp cloth after cutting off the power.
3. It is not advisable to cook acid and alkaline food, and do not place it in a place with corrosive gas or humidity.
4. When using, put the cooked food into the pot first, cover the lid, and then plug in the power plug; unplug the power plug before taking out the food to ensure safety. During packaging and storage, the rice cooker is usually placed in a carton, lined with shock-proof foam material up and down, the accessories are placed in a plastic bag and placed in the pot, several cartons are placed in a large corrugated carton, and the outer tie is tight. solid, and have the required markings. Each rice cooker must have a product certificate and instruction manual. The carton should be handled with care during transportation, and the warehouse should be well ventilated and free of corrosive gas.
The service life of the inner pot of the rice cooker
Some people say that as long as the rice cooker can be used without leakage, it will not be eliminated, but is this true? The inner pot of the rice cooker is an important factor that is often overlooked. The life of the inner pot is different, and it is also related to the usual operation!
1. The traditional barrel-shaped stainless steel liner, because of its low heat conduction efficiency and rapid aging, is generally replaced after more than 2 years of use;
2. The inside of the rice cooker is non-stick. If the coating falls off in a large area, the inner container should be replaced with a new one or eliminated immediately, because after the coating is peeled off, the inner container is more likely to volatilize toxic gas at a lower temperature. According to engineer Wang Tongshuai of the National Household Appliances Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, most of the inner coating used in rice cookers is “Teflon”, which is a kind of polymer non-stick coating. Although it has reached food grade, it is after all. It is a chemical substance, and it will bring certain health risks if swallowed by mistake. At the same time, after the coating is peeled off, the inner pot of the rice cooker is more likely to volatilize toxic gases at a lower temperature.
It is recommended to clean the rice cooker with bamboo, wooden shovel and a soft cloth at ordinary times, and leave it for a period of time after cooking, and do not rinse it with cold water immediately.
