Xiaomi Mijia Home Induction Cooker white (DCL01CM)

original design

The plate of the popular Xiaomi brand stands out from the background of most compact counterparts with a round body shape. A removable rubber ring is located along the diameter of the working area (about 26.5 cm), which acts as a kind of retainer for dishes and protection against liquid leakage onto the table (for example, if milk runs off).

Made by Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker in black and white. It looks, like other brand appliances, at the same time stylish and concise.

5 modes and individual settings

The simplest scenario for using an induction cooker comes down to choosing a power level. The maximum value is 2100 W, and the total gradation provides 100 options (% of max).

In addition, five special modes are offered — hogo (cooking various dishes with sauces or broths in a pot), steaming, slow boiling (for soups), fast frying, deep-frying. For each of them, power adjustment is allowed.

"Smart" technology

As controls for Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker, two sensors are offered (activation of the timer and special modes), a rotary switch (for adjusting various variables) with a display and LED indicators.

And thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi, you can control it from your smartphone in the stove area. And the main feature of such access is advanced settings. So, through Mi Home, you can choose the cooking temperature from two ranges: 40 – 80 °C and 110 – 190 °C (five degree step), as well as create your own recipes, setting the desired combination of power and time or temperature and cooking time .

However the problematic localization of both applications and the menu of the stove itself (Chinese characters are displayed on the buttons and display) can complicate operation and, at a minimum, require more time to master the model. If this is not a critical moment, then Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker will please both the convenience of cooking and the increasingly popular smart features.
