ZOJIRUSHI Xiangyin/Japan

Domestic consumers are no strangers to printing this brand. In a wave of purchases in Japan that year, its rice cooker products were the absolute main force. Xiangyin 19 18 was established in Osaka. In the early days, it mainly produced hot water bottles and thermos bottles. It was not until 1970 that the first insulated rice cooker was introduced. However, it came from behind and beat powerful competitors such as Tiger Brand, Panasonic and Toshiba to become the leader in Japan's domestic market, with a share of over 20%.

At present, Xiangyin mainly uses high-end pressure IH rice cookers, that is, IH electromagnetic heating technology is used to heat the inner container, and at the same time, the overall air pressure in the pot is raised to reach the ideal cooking temperature above 100℃, so that the cooked rice is fuller and more grainy. NP-HRH series divides cooking into six stages through precise temperature control, so that water and rice can be fully integrated and the taste is warmer. In addition, it also supports four levels of cooking pressure, which can easily realize different tastes of rice and meet various cooking needs. Other practical functions such as porridge cooking, heat preservation and regular appointment are also standard.

The flagship series NP-STH 10C adopts the unique feather pot liner of Xiangyin, which reproduces the shape of the traditional Japanese-style wok, increases the transfer area of firepower and heats more evenly. At the same time, the special "wing" structure also gives full play to the dual functions of heat storage and insulation, making a delicious crispy rice. In addition, it also has seven-level pressure control, which makes the taste of rice richer and more delicate, and is suitable for pursuing the ultimate rice hobby. If we pay more attention to practicality and cost performance, Xiangyin also provides many traditional chassis heating models with complete basic functions and relatively more affordable prices.

In fact, it is unnecessary to bring Xiangyin rice cooker back from Japan. Now domestic e-commerce platforms can be easily bought. High-end IH rice cookers are also directly produced and imported from Japan, and no additional voltage converter is needed, and the Chinese logo is used, which is more secure after sale. However, there are many dealers on the e-commerce platform at present, and the price difference between different stores can reach more than 50%. Consumers are advised to make more comparisons when purchasing.

Tiger Tiger/Japan

Tiger brand, founded in 1923, and Xiangyin, also from Osaka, are lifelong rivals. From the initial thermos bottle to a series of products such as rice cookers, electric thermos bottles and kitchen utensils, both of them have always maintained a leading market share in Japan. Since 197 1 produced the first insulated rice cooker, Tiger brand has always maintained excellent competitiveness in the field of rice cookers. As early as 1992, IH electromagnetic heating technology and frequency conversion control technology were applied to their own products, and in 2006, the ceramic tank liner was adopted for the first time in the industry, which attracted other brands to follow suit.

Tiger brand rice cooker series is very complete, including machinery, microcomputer and IH, among which the most recommended is its pressure IH rice cooker. The representative model JPB-G 10C can form 1.25 atmospheric pressure in the pot by controlling the pressure change, and the highest cooking temperature can reach 135℃, which fully releases the sweetness of rice. The inner and outer sides of the inner container are covered with far-infrared casserole and heat-sealed casserole respectively, which has good heat storage and insulation performance and achieves the effect of stove-fire casserole. Functionally, of course, excellent performance is bound to be accompanied by high prices, which are close to 9000 yuan on domestic e-commerce platforms. If there are many people in the family, you can also choose the 5L large-capacity version of JPB-G18c. The price of other IH models without pressure mechanism is also more than 4,000 yuan, and the price difference between different dealers is also relatively large.

At the same time, Tiger brand also provides a thousand-yuan cost-effective model, which is made in China. Among them, JAG series is equipped with eight kinds of rich cooking functions, proficient in cooking, steaming and stewing, and also has the characteristic "crispy rice" function. If you like Japanese-style Korean-style rice soaking, it's perfect. This series offers 3L and 5L capacity options. Compared with Tiger brand rice cookers from Haitao, Japan, the domestic licensed products currently on sale have no advantage in price, but they are more secure in ease of use and after-sales service.

Panasonic Panasonic/Japan

Panasonic, which has a long history, introduced the household rice cooker as early as 1956. With its strong technical strength, it has been playing a pioneering role in the rice cooker industry. IH rice cooker was first invented by Panasonic in 1988, and it is now emerging in the domestic market.

Panasonic rice cookers have a wide selection of models, and the high-end IH rice cookers cover the price range from 1000 yuan to 10000 yuan. Among them, SR-AE 10 1 has five sections of IH electromagnetic coils, which wrap the liner in all directions, realizing high-power heating and accurate temperature control. Moreover, by using the pressure swing technology, the rice rolls continuously during the cooking process, and each rice is heated evenly, thus ensuring the soft and waxy taste. In addition, its carbon-coated liner is imported from Japan, which is safe and efficient. The capacity of 3L is suitable for the daily use of a family of three. The new model SR-PE40 1 supports three-stage pressure selection, and can provide about 2.0 standard atmospheric pressure at most, which not only ensures the fast cooking of 15 minutes, but also achieves the cooking effect of electric pressure cooker. The appearance is small and exquisite, equipped with dual LCD screens, and the price of 4L capacity is about 2300 yuan.

For practical consumers, the traditional chassis heating model SR-G 18C 1-K is a more affordable choice. It is equipped with six cooking functions and intelligent reservation. The 5L capacity is only sold in 550 yuan.

The price is 339 yuan. In addition, Panasonic has retained a more traditional mechanical rice cooker, which is intuitive and simple to operate, even for the elderly.
