Nowadays, infrared cookers are widely used because of their ease of use, hygiene and safety. However, not everyone knows how to use infrared cookers properly to ensure safety and save electricity. Below are some tips from Quantrimang, please refer to them.
Do not turn off the stove when changing the cooking pot.

If you want to change pots while cooking, you should only reduce the heat to the lowest level, absolutely do not turn off the stove. When you turn off the stove and restart it, the stove will need a large current to operate again, so it will be very power consuming. After changing pots, you just need to gradually increase the temperature to the required level and continue cooking.
Turn off the stove a few minutes before the food is cooked.
With an infrared cooker, even if it is turned off, it will still work for a few minutes. Therefore, when the food is just cooked, you can turn off the power but still leave the pot on the stove. At this time, the remaining heat emitted from the stove will cook the food completely. However, this method should only be applied to stewed and stir-fried foods, not fried foods.
Choose the right pot

Infrared cookers are compatible with most types of pots, pans, and pans, but you should choose the type with a thick bottom and good heat transfer ability such as cast iron, stainless steel, etc. to save cooking time and energy consumption effectively.
Avoid high temperature settings
High temperatures help food cook faster and in less time, however, this also means consuming more electricity and the amount of electricity wasted also increases due to the heat radiating to the outside. Therefore, you should only choose the average temperature when cooking to save on wasted electricity.
Adjust the temperature gradually
While cooking, you should not rush to increase the temperature immediately, it will waste electricity and affect the life of the infrared stove. To use the infrared stove properly, you should adjust the temperature every 2-3 minutes, so that the heat is released slowly, evenly, and saves electricity.
