Breaking the price convention again and again is the brand feature of Xiaomi. A while ago, Xiaomi released its first electric rice cooker, named: Mijia Pressure IH electric rice cooker, which is priced at 999 yuan. For consumers who do not know about the rice cooker market, the price is really surprising. However, Xiaomi publicized that "rice cookers are sold to Japan".

There are many brands of domestic rice cookers. Many people think that the price of an ordinary rice cooker is only about 200300 yuan, and does the taste and taste of rice depend on the quality of rice? It seems simple, but in fact, the cooking ability of the rice cooker is also a key factor in determining the "one pot of good food". In addition to the continuous development of household appliances towards intelligence, the millet rice cooker, as a member of the ecological chain, has joined the intelligent hardware module, which really makes cooking more convenient and accurate.

In terms of basic parameters, the capacity of millet pressure IH rice cooker is 3.0L, and its net weight and volume are similar to those of ordinary rice cookers on the market. The biggest highlight is the cast iron liner and the IH heating method. The modelling design of millet pressure IH rice cooker has a sense of artistic simplicity. I believe that most people are unfamiliar with this parameter, but we must admit that millet is a simple and practical product.

Well packaged accessories are packaged separately

The pressure IH heating mode of Xiaomi electric rice cooker is positioned as "the third generation high-end electric rice cooker" in the electric rice cooker industry. At the same time, it supports WIFI connection and can be operated by APP. Xiaomi home intellectualization takes another step on the electric rice cooker. In a word, practical simplicity is the basis, and smart affinity is the guide. The packaging of many products of Xiaomi keeps the original color, and the simple style is the characteristic of Xiaomi.

The package of millet rice cooker is sent in two layers of kraft paper boxes, of which the inner layer of kraft paper box is designed with a hand-held device, and the specific information of the product is labeled on the lower left side, which is a common package of millet products.

The inner surface of the box is printed with the method of removing the inner cover. At the same time, the accessories of the millet rice cooker are packaged independently. A portable storage bag is distributed at the bottom, which is convenient to carry.

The accessories included in the package are 1 tablespoon * 1 tablespoon * 1 power cord * 1 instruction manual and warranty card * 1 quick guide * 1. There are not many accessories, but the materials are very good, so there is no sense of cheapness.

A layer of plastic film is covered inside to prevent scratches, and the measuring cup is also put into a customized storage bag. The millet rice cooker is well packaged to ensure the safety of consumers.

The rice spoon and soup spoon of millet electric rice cooker are of good quality. They have a better texture than those of the 200 yuan electric rice cooker on the market, and there is not too much odor. Moreover, the rice spoon has a well-designed support frame, so it will not be dirty when placed on the table. The power cord has 3C certification, and the meter measuring cup has a reference scale, which is safe and convenient to use.

Unique white LED needs to be improved

The design of millet rice cooker continues the integrated and simple design of millet series products, and adopts pure white color matching. The texture of the body's paint like material is good, but it is easy to leave fingerprints, which can be easily wiped away. It should be placed prominently in every corner of the home. If you log on to Xiaomi's official website, you can find that Xiaomi's Internet radio, water purifier and other household products all use this design language.

The shape of millet rice cooker can be divided into two parts, one part is the inside of the body, and the other part is the upper cover. The design is 3:1 distribution. There is a "gray button of Mijia logo" on the front button, whose main function is to turn on the rice cooker.

Of course, the millet pressure IH rice cooker has a unique shape and is suitable for household decoration. The triangle power socket is also cleverly placed on the lower right side, and the "gap" of the power supply cannot be seen when it is placed on the front. The integrated and simple design is beautiful, and the side of the millet rice cooker is white and clean without any marks. Therefore, the body must be cleaned regularly when it is used for a long time.

The springback performance of opening the upper cover of the rice cooker is also worth studying. Comparing the opening speed of the millet rice cooker with that of the self used rice cooker, it can be found that the opening speed of the millet rice cooker is slower than that of the nearby rice cooker, which can avoid the possibility of excessive opening force when placed against the wall and scratching the body.

The top of the millet rice cooker is equipped with a warning prompt next to the steam exhaust port, which is essential for standardized use. After talking about the appearance and design, let's look at the control panel. The control menu of millet rice cooker is at the bottom, and the "white" LED light is used as the time cooking mode function to flash. Obviously, when the white LED light is displayed, it is difficult to see the content clearly when the white body is similar to the white body. In addition, the disadvantage of millet rice cooker is that it is not equipped with a LCD screen like some high-end rice cookers, So this is something that needs to be improved, but the advantage is that it can connect to a few mobile phones.

The intelligent module is placed at the rear side of the machine body, which is also the connection part of the switch. The bottom of the millet rice cooker is equipped with four round foot pads, and the front and rear parts are equipped with grids for heat dissipation. Because the rice cooker uses a heavy iron kettle, the handle design is not added, but the bottom side has a concave handle design, so it needs both hands to move safely.

Millet pressure rice cooker is made of pure white bright surface, rectangular arc angle treatment, excellent workmanship details, removable inner cover cleaning, body size of 300 x 251 x 212 (mm), body weight of 6.45kg, compact design and easy to move, the liner material is cast iron, through IH heating technology, it can reach 1.2 atmospheric pressure as the control point, which is recognized as the most delicious value of rice. It comes with a spoon, soup spoon, meter measuring cup and power cord, which can be controlled using the body panel or APP.

Removable tank

Cleaning the interior of the rice cooker is a "technical activity", while the interior design of the millet rice cooker award is easy to disassemble. There are text reminders for disassembly operations, such as pushing up the inner cover to open it easily, and there is no difficulty in installing it back. Cleaning is convenient and simple.

The inner cover, anti blocking cover and bubble breaker contained in the millet rice cooker can be removed and cleaned manually. The quick disassembly guide has detailed instructions. Because text reminders are added everywhere, uncles and aunts can also easily remove them from the millet rice cooker, so it is very difficult to clean the cooker.

The official name of the inner pot is "Flaming Iron Kettle". The inner pot is made of gray cast iron, which is quite thick and smooth. The water level line for cooking rice and porridge and the reference water level line for northeast rice seedlings are carefully marked on both sides of the iron pot. The capacity of 3L is not large but basically enough.

The inner liner of the iron kettle is designed with a bowl shaped flat bottom, which will be heated more evenly when cooking. The gray cast iron material has better rust resistance, heat preservation and higher cost than stainless steel, copper and other liner materials. In addition, the food grade PFA powder coating of the iron kettle has the characteristics of non sticking to the pan.

Those who have seen the promotional video of millet rice cooker should remember that when the staff turned the whole pot of cooked rice upside down, the rice fell completely. So I also tried to turn the cooked rice upside down. The final answer is that the rice falls completely, and it really has the characteristics of non stick pan. Of course, there will be some rice left.

Convenient operation of APP with professional mode

The practice of adding intelligent modules has significantly improved the operation. The device connection method of millet rice cooker is the same as other intelligent hardware. Connect the new device millet rice cooker through millet smart home APP. After the connection is successful, the WIFI indicator on the back of the cooker turns blue. At this time, the APP can control the cooker and the body panel can continue to control.

Like other smart home hardware, the APP can control most of the functions of millet rice cooker, such as alarm prompt, lid opening alarm, closing panel display, automatic heat preservation, etc. The functional settings of this rice cooker are more customized than those of traditional rice cookers, making cooking more convenient and practical.

The default operation modes on the home page correspond to those on the panel, but the difference is that the functions of the modes in the APP are expanded more comprehensively, The App locates my position and judges the altitude, and can choose rice varieties by itself (also can scan the bar code to identify). The taste is soft, medium and hard. At the same time, it adds a custom taste curve, which is flexible to operate, allowing professional players to stretch and cook for an hour.

However, ordinary users need to grasp the time to cook. They don't want to think too much about cooking. Therefore, Xiaomi's cooking mode is basically enough. Especially, it is flexible and convenient to make an appointment for cooking. First, place the rice in the pan and set the cooking time. The running status can be viewed through the APP. After completion, the APP will prompt the machine to send an alarm, Cooking can still be very serious and lazy.

Millet rice cooker is determined not to make you lazy. As an intelligent rice cooker, it is not just simple to cook rice and porridge. APP has added various types of recipes and cakes Yogurt and other products are embedded on the home page, which can show the food to users in an intuitive manner. On holidays, you can use the electric rice cooker to make food by moving your mobile phone. If millet is added to the online shopping of food materials, then the food production of millet electric rice cooker will be more convenient, and the intelligent electric rice cooker will be more attractive.

Of course, the function is far more than that, In my opinion, the scenes mentioned in the article are enough for millet rice cookers. Of course, it also provides channels for cooking.

Spicy rice, rich porridge

The millet pressure IH rice cooker has a certain understanding of its shape and APP, and it uses the pressure IH technology and the gray cast iron liner in its heating technology to ensure the basic conditions for cooking a "pot of good food". However, the cooking process and the taste of the rice are also crucial. I chose the millet rice to cook rice and porridge respectively. Let's see the specific results below.

The cooking procedure is the same as that of an ordinary electric rice cooker. After washing rice, it is put into an iron kettle. The slight difference is that because of the pressure IH electromagnetic heating method, the millet electric rice cooker will automatically adjust the temperature and time according to the amount of water. Don't worry if the amount of water is slightly more. I put three cups of rice, which is about the amount of food for two people, according to the water level line of the inner tank of the millet electric rice cooker, The duration is one hour.

Try to open the lid halfway to check, and the state of cooking is not much different from that of other rice cookers.

The millet rice cooker repeatedly emphasized the non sticky characteristics of the inner liner. Monkey's mother also made such an experiment: the rice that had just been prepared for less than 2 minutes was directly inverted, and the rice could be completely detached, which really confirmed the non sticky characteristics of the millet rice cooker. Of course, several grains of rice would still remain on the inner liner, which was very convenient to clean after cooking.

It tastes more delicious when cooking. Put a proper amount of water according to the water level in the tank, and the alarm will ring for about an hour and a half. When the lid is not opened, the fragrance will diffuse. The consistency of the porridge is just right, and it is very smooth. Facing the right water level, there is no need to worry about the porridge being too thin. The porridge tastes very fresh, and it is really good to eat with mustard tuber.

epilogue

The white and simple shape of Xiaomi pressure IH rice cooker and the exquisite design of Founder can be said to be the envy of everyone. The excellent packaging and removable and easy cleaning design are the advantages of Xiaomi rice cooker. In addition to the carefully built iron kettle, from the perspective of the price of high-end rice cooker, the 999 yuan Xiaomi rice cooker is very cost-effective, It also inherits the feature of "high configuration and low price", and its disadvantage is that it is not equipped with LCD due to price constraints.
