During the few months they stayed at home, many people did nothing but study food, which made many people find the pleasure of cooking slowly, so it is logical to keep this good habit until the epidemic is really solved. Even after returning to work slowly, many people bid farewell to years of take-away dependence, or bring their own lunch boxes or cook for themselves. In short, cooking by yourself is the safest, healthiest and most delicious!
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, people have gradually realized the importance of living environment and personal hygiene in the process of receiving epidemic prevention knowledge education. They began to buy related products to protect the health of themselves and their families. From masks and disinfectants to air purifiers and pots and pans, all kinds of pots and pans became popular, behind which consumers paid attention to the quality of life and the outbreak of personal health needs caused by the epidemic.
With the reopening of tourism in May, the experience of being trapped for several months was liberated and a new wave of retaliatory tourism was ushered in. Therefore, rice cookers with portable travel function are gradually becoming popular, which will also evolve into an industry trend. The escalation of the "personal health war" in 2020 further confirmed this trend.
However, there are many brands of "folding portable pots" on the market at present. How to choose them? How do we know which one is full-featured, safe and has better performance? Today, represented by Bear and Rongshida, we will bring you the information you want through in-depth evaluation and experience.
I think these three products are the best and most popular among the newly launched folding cookers this year-Bear Travel Folding Pot Rice Cooker (DRG-C 10D 1), Royalstar Travel Portable Folding Rice Cooker (DZG 10L) and Roya Travel Folding Multi-purpose Cooker (k2).
For the convenience of reading, they are hereinafter referred to as "Little Bear", "Royalstar" and "Loya" respectively.
Comparison of basic data
Price should be a concern of many people. Through the front display of the shopping platform, the price is Xiaoxiong 149 yuan, Loya 239 Yuan, Honor 139 yuan.
Part1:the first impression of tas
Overall appearance contrast
Let's talk about the looks of the three people first. When I first met, Rongshida impressed me as a "big boy". He is bulky, flexible, complete, clean and simple, which makes people feel very comfortable.
To tell the truth, "Japanese soft girl" is the best way to describe a bear. Small figure, pearly white dress style, literature and art, freshness, also won the hearts of young consumers.
And Roya gives me the feeling that she is a "small jasper". Her exquisite appearance and youthful appearance naturally bring an attraction and make people want to get close. The folded handle style is smart and lovely, and the temperament is unconsciously emitted.
Fitting comparison
Bear is split, base+pot+plastic cover. The pan body is painted with medical stone color, which can clean the non-stick pan and fry it well.
It is worth mentioning that the capacity of the same split Loya, base+frying pan+deep pan+stainless steel lid, has completely reached1.2l. Inviting a close friend home to brush a hot pot will be stress-free. The frying pan is shallow, large in diameter, non-sticky, and can be roasted at will, so that one person can eat more vegetables.
Royalstar is a little inferior and integrated. Its standard is heating base+silicone pot body+plastic cover. Its function is limited and it can only be used in cooking.
Folding contrast
Although they are all folding pots, the folding methods have their own ideas, but they are all very interesting.
Royalstar uses the compression or stretching characteristics of silica gel to achieve the folding effect. The advantage of this kind of folding is that it makes full use of space and the material is light, so as to achieve the best effect of portable travel.
In fact, the bear uses the effective area of the pot to cover the base to achieve the best folding space. The highlight is that the ears can be buckled upwards to fix the pot cover.
Roya's folding creativity is very eye-catching, and the double long handles that can be expanded/contracted are very convenient to expand when cooking and fold when storing.
Part II: Focus: both humanized and safe.
Comparison of lid handles
According to the international 3C safety standard, the holding area of the cooker handle should reach 30mm2, and the periphery of the lid handle should be greater than 20mm, so I actually measured that the distance from the handle of Roya to the periphery of the lid is 2 1mm, the distance from the handle of Bear to the periphery of the lid is 14mm, and the distance from Rongshida to the periphery of the lid is 17mm. As can be seen from the data, Roya's safety factor will be improved during operation.
After careful observation, we can also find that Roya's cover handle is fixed on the cover and can be folded, which really applies folding to the extreme. The lid of the bear is also fixed, and the handle of the lid of Rongshida is plugged by the soft glue inside, which is easy to loosen.
Handle contrast
You will know whether you can hold the handle well. The double short handles holding Rongshida in both hands are made of glue and very soft. If the pot is hot water and it is heavy, there is a great hidden danger, which may spill or burn the skin.
Bear is also a pair of short handles, hard, it will be better when lifting the pot, but because the handles are buckled up, there may be hidden dangers of rollover.
But Loya's handle is folded, a single long handle, wide enough, and the contact position with the pot body is hollow. The holding part is made of anti-scalding material, which can prevent scalding and is convenient to operate with one hand.
In the whole operation process, the performance of this pot is still very calm, without any shaking.
Control switch+indicator light comparison
Bear's control switch and indicator light are integrated, and there is no fire adjustment function. The design is relatively simple. The switch flashes when it is not turned on, and flashes when it is turned on.
Royalstar is a knob controller, which is divided into two levels of high temperature: small fire and big fire, and its functions are clearly distinguished.
Roya's control panel is divided into independent parts, and the functional distinction is also clear. Roya has three-speed temperature regulation. Plug in the power, and you will find that the power indicator light is on. Gently slide Roya's pull rod, and there will be a sliding feeling.
Comparison of surface technology of pot body
As far as the surface treatment technology of the deep pot is concerned, the Rongshida pot body adopts silica gel wall and 304 pot surface, which is relatively simple.
Bear will be a little richer, and both sides of its pot are sprayed with food-grade high-temperature oil, which does not stick to the pot and can effectively control the oil smoke.
Roya's pan is divided into two parts. The wok is coated, non-sticky, oil fume controlled, and the pan surface is fried horizontally. The deep pot is a boiling pot, all stainless steel, with large opening diameter and fast heating. The division of labor is clear and reasonable.
Comparison of heating plates
In the aspect of heating plate, Bear and Loya adopt an integrated surface heating plate, which is designed separately from the pot body, with uniform heating and easy cleaning. Rongshida's chassis and pan body are integrated, which will have certain security risks when used, so it is not easy to clean them carefully.
Pot cover comparison
In terms of weight, Rongshida, which is mainly made of silica gel, is the lightest, with a bear of 858g and a wok of Royalgundam1060g. What is the gain and loss?
As a portable pot for travel, the volume is often controlled in a relatively small range, so under the same folding advantage, the big 0. 1L is often a great advantage.
The effective capacities of Bear and Royalstar are 1L, while Loya is 1.2L+. Although the positioning of the two people is the exclusive pot of one person, Roya will obviously be richer and less cramped.
Anti-skid contrast
We can clearly see that the bear has no other accessories except a carrying bag.
In addition to the portable bag, Rongshida also presented a simple plastic steamer. Don't underestimate a small steaming rack. With it, there is an additional steaming function.
I really can't think of any good words to describe Roya's accessories except the conscience of the industry. As a portable pot for travel, a carrying bag is an essential standard, and there is also a four-piece set of travel tableware, which is too intimate for travel. Small silicone spatula, outdoor ceramic knife cover and stainless steel steaming plate are really considered from the perspective of travel!
Part III: Who is better at cooking?
Comparison of preheating tests
Do you often encounter this situation? When you are ready to eat, you find that it is too late to wait for the signal of boiling water, so you can only worry.
Of course, this is also related to the power of the pot. Royalstar is 800W, and Bear and Loya are both 500W W, so we take half a box of water with the same amount and put it into the multifunctional pots of Royalstar, Loya and Bear respectively to test the time required for preheating TAs.
The actual measurement results are the same as predicted. When Royalstar was at 1 min 50 seconds, a bubble had already formed under it. 4 minutes 10 second, rolling has been completed, so it can be seen that preheating has been completed. However, at 3 minutes and 50 seconds, bubbles formed at the bottom of the bear and began to boil and roll at 8 minutes 15 seconds. Roya started to roll in 7 minutes and 45 seconds, and the 800w Rongshida was really much faster than others.
Comparison of cooking effects
A good pot needs an interesting soul who can cook besides a good skin. I decided to have a "instant noodle" experience in front of three pots respectively.
As a multifunctional travel pot, why choose instant noodles?
The so-called instant noodles are the simplest and most difficult. Noodles should be separated and some materials should be stained. ...
I'm kidding. In fact, as a kind of food for people who travel or live alone, pasta may be the most common choice. But even so, instant noodles are treated to varying degrees in different pots and hands.
Of course, considering the material problem, Rongshida only has the functions of boiling, stewing, rinsing and stewing, and only Roya has the functions of frying, frying, boiling, steaming, frying and stewing. In order to experience fairness, it is also a last resort. Which aspect of instant noodles should we evaluate? Taste, color, and most importantly, the convenience of the cooking process.
First, set the gear to the maximum gear and add the same amount of water to the pot. Hearing the rolling sound means that the water has been preheated (it has been measured above, so I won't go into details here). You can add noodles and mushrooms, cook for a while, then add fresh shrimp and bean sprouts in turn, and finally add chopped eggs (cooked by the way when preheating).
Taste evaluation of (1)
Five minutes later, an advanced cheese, seafood and egg instant noodles is ready, with three pots of noodles. In the finished product, Roya will look better and have more appetite.
We tried it carefully, and both of us felt that there was little difference in taste, except that Royalstar would be a little worse. Because of the material, the heating was not so uniform, and the silicone would have a plastic taste when heated.
Because Roya is a double-pot configuration, the taste choice will be more abundant!
Of course, taste is subjective, and everyone has different opinions.
(2) The diameter of the spout affects the operation.
Why do you say that? The reason lies in the diameter of the pot. The diameter of the bear is 13.5cm, and the diameter of Loya is 14cm, which is very reasonable.
Especially the bear, in the process of instant noodles, because the diameter is too small, it brings a lot of trouble to the operation. If the shrimp is a little big, it is not easy to put it.
Moreover, Roya operates with one hand and has a large diameter, which is very convenient for both operation and eating.
(3) the battle of frying pan
It's the same as making noodles, but the level is still different. Roya is a double-pot configuration, a pot of seafood noodles, and a plate of fried chicken wings can be handed over. This is definitely a good meal when you travel abroad, even under limited conditions!
Ten minutes later, the chicken wings were freshly baked, and the classic line "Roasted chicken wings, I like to eat" immediately came to mind. With seafood and egg noodles, this is really a different meal!
Part four: I have functions that you don't have.
Steamed buns experience
Besides frying, roasting, searing, stewing, boiling and rinsing, wayward Roya also did cooking by the way. Rongshida has no function of cooking, but it only has the function of cooking, so bears without the function of cooking can only wait and see unilaterally.
In order to prove the cooking function, I selected steamed bread for testing. First, we pour water into the pots of Royalstar and Roya respectively, put a steaming tray on the lid, adjust the temperature to the highest, and wait for the water to boil.
After a few minutes, open the lid, the pot has been boiled, indicating that the water is boiling. Put three steamed buns on the steaming tray, cover them and start steaming them.
/kloc-after 0/2 minutes, turn off the fire and open the lid. You can see that the steamed buns are all cooked, and each one looks soft and tender, and it should taste good.
As soon as it is opened, the fragrance in the steamed stuffed bun comes out immediately.
In the process of steaming steamed bread, I also carefully observed these two pots, so let's take a look at these two steaming plates first.
Royalstar is a simple plastic steamer, which is built between the first and second floors of the steamer. Very small, it is difficult to put three bags. Another drawback is that in the process of cooking, boiling water is constantly soaked in steamed bread, which is very wet afterwards and the taste is greatly reduced.
And Roya's steaming plate is conscience. SUS304 stainless steel steaming plate is placed on the top of the pot and steamed with steam. The taste and color are very good!
Part V: PK with high cleaning ability
After cooking, everyone's biggest worry is washing dishes. Therefore, when we make small pots for folding travel, we certainly hope to have a comfortable care process. Next, let's take a look at the separation of Roya and Bear. The cleaning of the heating chassis is not necessary. Just clean the pan, which is very convenient, so I just gently wipe it politely.
Because Royalstar is integrated, it should be cleaned together with the heating chassis when cleaning. It's hard to say. I'm afraid the chassis is hollow, which is particularly easy to get water. The whole cleaning process is very careful, and it is troublesome to be afraid of water in the middle.
Part VI: Summary and suggestions.
Through the above comparison and evaluation, we can see that as an outer pot for travel, Royalstar and Bear have different appearances and distinctive features. Rongshida steamed more, fried and fried less, Bell steamed less and fried and fried more.
In terms of the security of detailed configuration, Roya is obviously more intimate and humanized. In cooking, taking into account the multi-functions of frying, roasting, frying, boiling and rinsing of the above two pots, the material conscience and double pot configuration, its performance is very excellent, the only thing is that the power is a little small. In a word, who is the real "all-round cooking king", I think everyone has a bottom in mind.
Why do you recommend a travel multifunctional pot? The global epidemic is raging, and although it is well controlled at home, it should be carefully protected. A trip will inevitably not be to the taste of the outside. Maybe it's boring to eat takeout. It is very good to make a soup to strengthen nutrition and relieve appetite.
If it is a trip for two people, it will be more romantic to rinse a hot pot and fry a steak together.
If it is a parent-child tour, adults can cope. Children's food cannot be forced. Cooking porridge, cooking rice paste, or boiling water to make milk powder is also very reassuring.
All right, that's all. You can choose the one that suits you best according to your own needs!
