An electric cooker, as the name implies, is any device that uses electrical elements to cook food. These devices are increasingly popular today thanks to their low operating costs, reduced cleanup, and ease of installation.
Electric cookers come in nearly all shapes and sizes. From range models that feature an oven and a burner and electric cooker tops to slow cooker instant pots, buyers have plenty of options to choose from. Some fit specific applications better than others. For instance, instant pot rice cookers, electric pressure canners, and small instant pots are ideal for countertops or culinary spaces with limited space. In contrast, hot plate cookers are typically small, self-contained cooktops that are highly portable and perfect for those who are always on the go or adventure-seekers.
An instant pot pressure cooker is among the best electric-based cooking devices. Depending on the model, it has many functions, ranging from pressure cooking, steaming, and sauteing to slow and rice cooking. Instant pots also often boast extra features such as auto-adjust pressure and temperature, overheating protection, and a food burn sensor. Some even come with a delay option and a keep-warm setting. Note that instant pots come in different sizes, ranging from 4-quart pots to instant pots 6qt ideal for small families, while instant pots 8qts to 12qts are often ideal for large families or culinary events.
Electric cookers come in different forms but generally use the same working principle. That is, a heating element designed as coils converts electrical energy into optimal heat for cooking through a process known as resistance.
The electricity an electric cooker uses varies, but generally, most draw between 2000 and 5000 watts of electricity, with the standard electric cooker using up an average of about 3000 watts.
Although smaller and highly portable, a mini cooker is incredibly versatile and can cook almost anything from chicken to traditional stews. Some even feature a bake, roast, and broil function, meaning users can bake cakes, roast and grill meat, or broil thanksgiving turkey.
