More About Separable Multifunctional Cooker
Separable is an electric rice cooker with a detachable heating base. In most rice cookers only the inner pot can be removed, so the heating part stays idle once the rice is ready. Separable allows the heated base to be taken off and used on its own as an induction cooker for other food. The outer wall is made of insulating material, so the rice stays warm after the base is removed. The metal bottom uses a material with good thermal conductivity to make full use of the heat. The cooker measures 320 x 330 x 260 mm.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Today's electric rice cookers' heating chassis cannot be separated.When the rice is cooked,the heating part is idle.It is a waste of resources.But this separated electric cooker is different.The bottom of the heating zone can be separated,When the rice is cooked,the bottom can be used as a induction cooker used for cooking other food,achieving a cooker of multi-function and improving resource utilization.The outer wall of the cooker is made of thermal insulation,which can be used to keep the rice warm.
- Inspiration
- nowadays， the only thing of electric rice cooker can be separated is the tank inside,The heating chassis cannot be separated.When the rice is cooked,the heating part is idle.The design of this rice cooker is inspired by induction cooker.
