Is the inner coating of the non stick rice cooker toxic?
The inner liner of an electric rice cooker is mainly made of polytetrafluoroethylene coating, commonly known as the plastic king. Among all plastics, polytetrafluoroethylene has the smallest coefficient of friction, making it difficult for anything to adhere to its surface. It is only when cooking that there is no rice sticking to it. Polytetrafluoroethylene has excellent stability, can prevent acid and alkali, and is resistant to high temperatures. It will not break down even when used in high temperature environments ranging from 180 to 260 degrees Celsius.
Polytetrafluoroethylene monomer is toxic to the human body, but this toxin only appears at very high temperatures. People cannot reach high temperatures in their daily cooking, so there will be no toxin released. Therefore, people don't have to worry too much. If you are still worried, it is best to purchase an electric rice cooker produced by a reputable manufacturer with guaranteed quality.
Can the non stick coating on the rice cooker still work?
When people find that the inner layer of the rice cooker has fallen off, it is best not to use it. Because the main material inside the rice cooker is aluminum, once the non stick coating falls off, food will stick to the aluminum and be eaten into the stomach. If people consume too much aluminum, it may react with their gastric juice and trigger Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, for safety reasons, if the coating on the non stick rice cooker is severely peeling off, it is best to replace it with a new rice cooker or a new inner liner to prevent people from accidentally eating some heavy metals. Of course, if you don't want to replace it, you can also find a master to apply a new coating on the inner liner, but it is not recommended for people to use this method.
Precautions for using electric rice cookers
1. To prevent the coating of rice cookers from peeling off, people should not use them to cook acidic or salty foods. Acidity or saltiness can corrode the coating of rice cookers and cause them to fall off. When cleaning the inner container of an electric rice cooker, do not use a steel wire ball to brush it.
2. When using an electric rice cooker to cook, people should ensure that there is water inside the cooker to prevent it from drying at high temperatures, which can cause deformation and prevent the bottom of the inner liner from accurately matching the electric rice cooker heating plate, resulting in uneven heating of the cooker and affecting the taste of the food.
