Induction cooker is a common household appliances and kitchenware, because of its fast heating and convenient use, it is loved by people. What should be paid attention to in the use of induction cooker? I believe many people do not know. Let's talk about it today.
1. Precautions for using induction cooker
1. Install special power cord and power socket. Due to the high power of induction cooker, it is necessary to configure the power line and socket according to the power. Generally, the copper core wire that can withstand 15A current should be selected, and the socket, plug and switch used together should also meet this requirement. Otherwise, the large current when the induction cooker is working will make the wire, socket and other heating and coking short circuit. In addition, if possible, it is best to install a fuse box at the power cord socket to ensure safety.
2. The induction cooker should be placed stably. If one foot of the induction cooker is suspended in the air, the gravity of the cooker will force the furnace body to tilt and the food in the pot will overflow. If the furnace surface is not flat, the micro vibration produced by the boiler is easy to slide out and cause danger.
3. Ensure that the air inlet and outlet are unobstructed. The induction cooker in operation will be heated up with the heating up of the boiler. Therefore, the induction cooker should be placed in the air circulation place. The air outlet should be more than 250px away from the wall and other objects to ensure that there is no object blocking the inlet and outlet of the furnace body.
4. Choose the right pot. The load-bearing capacity of shell and black crystal of induction cooker is limited. The food carried by the cooker of civil induction cooker should not exceed 5kg, and the bottom of cooker should not be too small to prevent the pressure on the surface of induction cooker from being too concentrated. In case it is necessary to heat the overweight and oversized boiler, a support frame shall be set for the pot, and then the induction cooker shall be inserted into the bottom of the pot.
5. Attention should be paid to waterproof, moisture-proof and cockroach prevention during use and maintenance. The ordinary induction cooker has no waterproof function. It may cause short-circuit fault if it gets damp or enters water or even cockroach's excreta. Therefore, it should be kept away from moisture and steam when using, and it is strictly forbidden to wash with water. Waterproof induction cooker has appeared on the market, but in order to ensure safety and prolong the service life of products, water vapor should be avoided as far as possible.
6. The water in the pot should not be too full. The water in the pot should not be more than 7% full, so as to avoid the short circuit of the substrate caused by overflow after heating.
7. The pot must be placed in the center of the induction cooker. Due to the use of magnetic heating principle, when the container is offset, it is easy to cause imbalance of heat dissipation and cause failure.
8. When heating to high temperature, avoid directly picking up the container and then putting it down. Because of the instantaneous power, it is easy to damage the machine board.
2. How to save electricity reasonably for induction cooker?
1. Reasonable use of the power of each gear
Induction furnace heating speed is fast, but the power consumption is also large. When the induction cooker is just used to heat the boiler, the high-power block should be used to heat the cooker first, so that the speed is fast. Once the pot is boiling, if there are no special requirements, the power should be adjusted to a small gear in time to keep the pot boiling, especially when cooking porridge, making soup, eating hot pot, etc. Because the high power block not only wastes electric energy, but also makes the soup boil violently under the great fire power. In case of overflow, it will cause danger and make the bottom of the pot stick.
2. Choose the boiler with high efficiency of electric heat conversion
Induction furnace is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, so that the magnetic metal body in the alternating magnetic field to produce induction current, produce thermal effect, to heat and cook food. Therefore, the induction cooker should use containers made of materials with better magnetic conductivity, such as iron pan, cast iron pot, stainless steel pan with iron, and the pot with iron bearing material at the bottom. In a word, when choosing a cooker, it is better to select a high iron content and a high sealing degree of the pot cover (such as the stainless steel high-pressure cooker specially used for induction cooker). At the same time, the selected cooker should be flat bottomed, with an area of no less than 12cm × 12cm, which is almost as wide as the surface area of the induction cooker. In this way, the induction cooker can achieve high efficiency of electric heat conversion and fast cooking speed.
3. Pay attention to the method when heating food
For the food to be heated, try not to heat large or whole, it is best to break it into small pieces or thin strips. When cooking rice, it is better to soak the rice for five minutes before electrifying. And pay attention to heating as much food as you need, especially when boiling water and making soup. If you eat too much, you will naturally waste a lot of electric energy. In addition, when making soup, if there is food that is difficult to cook for a short time in the pot, a little less water should be put at the beginning of heating, and the food should be cooked first, and then the soup water should be added enough, which can save a lot of electric energy and time.
3. Daily maintenance of induction cooker
1. Panel cleaning
After each use of induction cooker, the furnace surface should be cleaned immediately after the induction cooker is cooled or a certain temperature is left (subject to no hot hand), so as to avoid the oil and water stains deposited during cooking. Many people think that the ceramic panel of induction cooker is an integrated structure, which is clean and easy to clean. It is unnecessary to clean it every time after cooking. It can be cleaned every few days. In fact, this is a misunderstanding - a high cleanliness induction cooker panel not only looks more hygienic and comfortable, but also heats up more quickly and evenly.
The correct way to clean the panel of induction cooker is: use neutral, mild detergent, and use soft cloth for careful wiping. Do not use steel ball, hard cleaning cloth and other hard objects to wipe and brush the panel of induction cooker, so as to avoid damage to the panel. If you encounter difficult to deal with oil and scale, you might as well use some special cleaning agent to decompose or soften the key parts of the pollution, so it will be much easier to clean.
2. Cleaning of fan net cover
One of the key points of safe use of induction cooker is to ensure that the fan runs normally and the air inlet and exhaust holes are unobstructed. Therefore, we should not forget to clean the fan net cover of induction cooker when we conduct the plot.
The correct way to clean the fan net cover of induction cooker is (there are some differences between different models): first clean the outside of the fan net cover with a clean soft cloth, and then use the random (or self purchased) soft brush to clean the net cover. Here is a special point to pay attention to: if it is found that the induction cooker needs to be cleaned inside the fan, it is recommended to send the induction cooker to the manufacturer's warranty point for completion. It is a very dangerous thing to dismantle the machine by yourself, so don't try it easily.
3. Cleaning of shell
Induction cooker shell is also easy to dirty, for the shell cleaning is relatively simple - also use neutral detergent and soft cloth to clean it. Some heavy oil cleaning agent can be used to clean the parts with serious oil pollution, but it should be cleaned with clean water immediately after cleaning to avoid the corrosion of cleaner on the shell of induction cooker.
