Choosing the Best Commercial Rice Cookers
June 3, 2009
A top-quality, reliable commercial rice cooker is perfect for you if you own a restaurant specializing in rice based meals such as sushi or paella. Below are some pointers to follow when choosing the best commercial rice cookers.
On/Off commercial cooker
We all know that on/off commercial cookers cook good rice, turning off automatically when the rice is done. This is the cheapest of its kind. So if you’re tight on budget, I say consider this type of commercial rice cooker.
Some on/off rice cookers have warming features. If you’re willing to shell out some extra cash, consider buying one with this feature. It’s actually a must if you own a food business.
An on/off commercial rice cooker can keep your favorite rice warm for around 12 hours. So it is definitely worth your investment.
Fuzzy Logic commercial cooker
How about a commercial rice cooker with fuzzy logic technology? You are going to need one if you are eyeing a more sophisticated commercial cooker; this kind features advanced settings for brown rice, steamer, soup, and porridge. This kind of commercial rice cooker is great but more expensive than an on/off commercial rice cooker.
Induction heating system
Most top of the line commercial rice cookers feature induction heating technology. The advanced heating system allows you to cook rice perfectly.
Rice cookers that have induction heating have some precise temperature sensing methods. Heat radiates from below and is also distributed evenly throughout the entire pan.
Design
If you are after style, choose a commercial cooker that suits the overall design of your restaurant. Commercial cookers come in many colors and shapes. Some commercial cookers have traditional looks, while others have sleek and stylish design.
Other things to consider
Make sure that your commercial rice cooker is easy to use and clean. A commercial rice cooker that has removable, dishwasher-friendly bowl will make your job easier and simpler. Go for commercial rice cookers that have nonstick bowls.
