Which is better, an electric kettle or a health pot?
In order to take fewer steps to get hot water, many colleagues in the channel bought their own hot water bottles. Due to the heavy work pressure in the Internet industry, many people began to make a pot of medlar and red dates every day, and bought a separate health pot for this purpose. As an old driver in the digital field, some colleagues will naturally consult Lao Yang before buying a health pot. Today, Lao Yang will talk to you through several questions. What is the way to keep healthy in this health pot?

Health pot boiled fruit tea Q: What's the difference between an electric kettle and a health pot? These two commodities come from the same place of origin. In principle, the knowledge of junior high school physics is adopted, and some metals will generate a lot of heat after being electrified. There are two differences between them: first, most electric kettles use metal kettle bodies, while higher-end health pots sound like glass kettle bodies and look more beautiful. Second, the function of the electric kettle is to heat the water to boiling, so just run at full horsepower and boil it as soon as possible after starting. On this basis, the health pot has been upgraded slightly, that is, the functions of stewing soup, cooking porridge and boiling eggs have been added. In order to increase these functions, products need to establish different heating curves for different ingredients. To be clear, the same heating plate is heated, and how long the heating plate runs can achieve the purpose of cooking this food.

A health pot that can stew soup Q: Since you can cook porridge and soup, what's the difference between a health pot and a rice cooker? A: As mentioned above, the health pot adopts the technology of resistance heating, which is far less than that of induction cooker and IH rice cooker. What is IH technology? This is also junior high school physics knowledge. The full name of IH is induction heating, which is an electromagnetic heating technology. The electrified wire will produce a magnetic field, while the metal moving perpendicular to the magnetic induction line will produce a current. Electric current is actually that electrons in metal move in a fixed direction and rub with atoms to generate heat, so they will be converted into heat. At present, most electrical appliances are driven by alternating current. In other words, the direction of the current in the wire is always changing, which leads to the constant change of the magnetic field. Therefore, even if the metal in the wire is static relative to the wire, the changing magnetic field is considered to be relatively static, but the metal is still moving, so it will also generate heat. When this metal is made into the shape of a pot, it becomes a rice cooker. It is an induction cooker that sells coils separately. Because of the high heating efficiency of iron and low heating efficiency of copper in electromagnetic heating, and the cost of two metals is also within the acceptable range of ordinary consumers, copper is generally used for conductor coils and iron is generally used for cutting metals. From electric kettles to health pots that sound taller, why not use new technology? The main reason is that the main function of these two kinds of products is actually to heat water, not ingredients. IH rice cooker is better than traditional electric heating plate rice cooker because of uniform heating. The electric heating plate is heating the bottom of the pot, while IH is heating the whole pot. The advantage of uniform heating is that the bottom of the pot will not be burnt when steaming rice. Whether it is an electric kettle or a health pot, it is a big deal to boil the water dry and evaporate it all. Have you ever heard of boiling water to paste the pot? I don't think so. Considering the cost of iron+copper and the cost of aluminum, of course, the heating mode with simpler structure and lowest cost is chosen. Then take porridge as an example, the heating of IH rice cooker comes from all directions, and the heating is more uniform. At the same time, the power is also high and the cooking is fast. The health pot can be regarded as a low-end rice cooker with a low version. It is said that he is a low-end rice cooker because both of them are heated by hot plates, and the low version is added because the sealing is not as good as that of rice cookers. Therefore, many people will encounter two problems when cooking porridge with a health pot, namely, cooking pot and pasting pot.

Q: The health pot is several hundred yuan cheaper and two or three thousand yuan more expensive. What is the difference? A: The main difference lies in the accessories. Most health pots basically come out with a shelf for boiling eggs and a stainless steel bucket for making tea as standard. High-end products will be equipped with a glass cup in the pot. Because the thermal conductivity and plasticity of glass are lower than that of metal, the bottom of most health pots is made of stainless steel like other pots and kitchen utensils. In order to raise the price of their products, some merchants will fabricate a false concept, that is, metal ions will penetrate into the water when the metal pot bottom is used for a long time, which is harmful to health. So I first heated water in an outer pot with low metal, and then heated food or water through an inner metal cup to remove metal ions. In fact, this metal ion is harmful. It's aluminum. A few years ago, people would buy cheaper aluminum pot, or the additives in the ingredients contained aluminum ions. However, later research found that the aluminum content in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease or mental disorder was 10-30 times higher than that of normal people. Further studies have confirmed that high aluminum content in food will lead to early aging. The accumulation of aluminum in the brain will lead to the degeneration of cranial nerves, memory decline, intelligence and personality will also be affected, and even Alzheimer's disease will occur. Aluminum pot itself has the characteristics of portability, durability and fast heating. But it is precisely because aluminum is harmful to human body that aluminum pot and baking powder containing alum have been rare in the past two years. Nowadays, most pots and pans are made of stainless steel. What is stainless steel? It is iron, which is an indispensable trace element for human body. You don't eat or do anything. According to the merchant's truth, throw away the iron pot at home as early as possible. In addition to this glass cup, the manufacturer's material is nothing more than conscience to make you use it better, and has added functions such as regular appointment and WiFi remote control to the product.

The double-layer structure of the health pot Q: According to you, the health pot is a liar. Don't buy it? A: The user group that scored the question. If you are a person who only wants to have a sip of tea or red dates and medlar at work every day, there is really no need to buy a health pot. There is no difference between boiling water and boiling water to make tea. If it is for home use, it is necessary to occasionally fry a Chinese medicine and stew a bird's nest, but it is too lazy to fire, then the health pot is still useful. The main function is convenience. However, many people report that the tremella soup stewed in the health pot is not as soft as the tremella soup stewed in the ordinary pot, probably because the power of the health pot is too small. As for whether it is necessary to buy several thousand pieces of health pots, Lao Yang's opinion is that it is totally unnecessary, and the prevention of metal ion poisoning is totally a false concept. Besides, it is no different from a cheap health pot.
