Rice Cookers for Professional Use
This page gives explanations about the difference between gas rice cookers and electric ones, both of which are generally used as ones for commercial purposes.
Difference between gas rice cookers and electric ones
-
You can cook rice by applying heat to the mixture of rice and water. The ideal is that strong heat is applied evenly in the rice cooking pot, however, the condition may differ depending on the state of convection, etc.
For commercial use such as the use for restaurants and small luncheon-providers, rice cookers called "a single-pot rice cooker" is often used. In terms of a heat source, there are roughly two types of rice cookers; gas ones and electric ones.
-
Gas rice cookers
Gas rice cookers are often used for commercial purposes due to the low installation cost and the rapid turnover of rice cooking.
As they have no heat retaining function, basically they should be used just as a cooker, and the cooked rice should be transferred to a rice warmer so that the gas rice cooker can be used again. As the time for cooking is shorter due to the strong heat, the amount of cooked rice per unit time is larger than that of rice cooked by IH rice cookers, etc. The most attractive feature is the excellent quality of cooked rice due to the strong heat. -
Electric rice cookers
"Electric rice cookers" generally referred to "microcomputer-controlled rice cookers" in the past. Nowadays, however, they mainly refer to "IH rice cookers". Microcomputer-controlled ones have a mechanism of heating a rice cooking pot by a microcomputer-controlled heating element, etc. on the bottom of the pot. On the other hand, as IH (induction heating) ones cook rice by making the whole inner pot produce heat like a heater by the function of magnetic lines of force, they are said to have an advantage in thermal efficiency.
IH rice cookers feature less failure in cooking rice because the cooking process is controlled by programming. That is, the heat weaker than that of gas is made up by the efficiency. Therefore, IH rice cookers spend almost twice as much time in cooking rice as gas rice cookers. Recently, we have come to hear that restaurants, etc. which are not allowed to use the open flames of gas are increasing particularly in the cities and thus they use IH rice cookers. As IH rice cookers have a function of a rice warmer, they have an advantage in the availability of wider spaces though cooking is impossible while warming cooked rice.
