High technologies are being introduced everywhere in everyday life, smart technology has reached the kitchen. It is now possible to control household appliances directly via the Internet. Literally everyone knows or heard about Wi-Fi technology today - from schoolchildren to senior citizens.
The slow cooker greatly facilitated the preparation of dishes, reducing the time for their preparation. It is enough to carefully put the necessary ingredients and choose a cooking program. You can cook anything from soups to full baked goods. It is noteworthy that in 2014 the predecessor of the control function via the Internet connection via Bluetooth was introduced.
New 2018 - multicooker with wi-fi function. All the same smart device that cooks food on its own, only now it has integrated remote control functions. Manufacturers have focused on wi-fi, introducing consumers to new generation kitchen appliances. Now the process of preparing dinner can be started right from the workplace through the mobile application. And upon arrival home will only have to lay it out on plates.
Remote control in a multicooker: why is it necessary?
The principle of remote control is to remotely start the device. By connecting in a convenient way, you can start cooking even without being at home.
There are two ways to remotely control:
- Bluetooth technology (the limit is about 50 meters, but the distance is reduced if the walls jam the signal).
- Internet (or wi-fi) - Communication is via satellite.
Connection is via a special mobile application - software. Setting up remote control will not take much time, and the options will be saved in the usage history.
IMPORTANT.Effective work of the multicooker is possible only in the case of bookmarking products. You just need to choose a dish, lay the necessary products and go to work. It should be borne in mind that cereals and pasta swell in a day, so it is optimal to cook vegetables, meat or fish.
Technology literally makes life easier. After an 8-hour working day, there is no desire at all to stand at the stove for at least another hour to prepare dinner. Especially since a lot of time is spent on the road. A crock-pot connected remotely will prepare food for coming home.
REFERENCE.Smart technology is not only a multicooker. Everyone has long been aware of the "smart home" system, which combines several functions at once. For example, heating water, underfloor heating, adjusting air humidity, etc. Household appliances are not left behind: one application can combine several devices. The only caveat - they should all be from the same manufacturer.
How the bluetooth option works in a multicooker
It is possible to control through a smartphone or tablet. You need to download a free mobile application, connect via Bluetooth and the multicooker will become fully controllable. The application shows tips so that the user does not make a mistake with the selected program. Setting is necessary only at the first start-up, the next time the equipment itself will connect to the phone.
ATTENTION. The application must be verified, that is, confirmed by the manufacturer - these have a tick.
The program is not easy to turn on and off the multicooker. You can make a cooking plan using various modes. In addition, it contains a list of available recipes with the exact ingredients and a step-by-step way to turn on a particular cooking mode.
A significant drawback of the technology is that it is possible to control only at a distance of up to 50 meters. In other words, you can cook breakfast without leaving the bedroom. Signal strength is also dependent on wall thickness. The apartment can be controlled from any room, but the signal will be interrupted if you go out into the yard.
There is a solution - a tablet bridge. In other words, you can leave your tablet at home and connect to it remotely from your smartphone. The principle of operation is that the main phone is connected to the second device, and already it includes a multicooker.
What should be the care of a multicook with a remote control
Smart crock-pots do not need special care. Cleaning is standardized for all types of kitchen appliances. After cooking, wash the bowl and plastic accessories. - everyone knows that. The steam valve and the inside of the cover must also be rinsed under a powerful jet of water. Of course, if the food was greasy, then you just need to add a detergent.
REFERENCE.The inside of the multicooker must be processed after purchase. Half the lemon will help to cope with the smell of plastic and chemistry.
Pros and cons of a remote-controlled multicooker
The advantages and disadvantages of such management are quite obvious. The comfort of using a remote connection far outweighs the likely disadvantages.
Obvious convenience:
- Reduced cooking time.
- Direct presence and control are not necessary - the program is already designed for cooking.
- You can start cooking dinner before you arrive home.
- The security system will not start cooking if there are no products in the bowl.
The function is incredibly convenient, for example, for parents: you can remotely prepare lunch for your child.
The disadvantages are limitations. You can not cook swellable foods - cereals, pasta. They simply absorb all the water in a day. Be sure to lay the products in order not to turn on the multicooker for nothing. But you can’t take perishable ones - they can turn sour in a day.
Findings
Smart crock-pots, contrary to popular belief, do not explode and are not fabulous money. The pre-installed system will not allow to start an empty device. And the price niche differs little from analogues without the function of control via wi-fi. Thus, the future has already arrived, just not everyone knows about it.
