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.

- 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.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The size of the rice cooker is 320 mmx330 mmx260mm .

- Production Technology
- This rice cooker insulation material outside, it can ensure that after the rice is cooked, the rice will not be cooled when chassis is separated. The bottom of the metal is made by better thermal conductivity material, it can maximize the use of heat.
- Design Challenge
- Different from traditional rice cookers, the heating zone of this rice cooker can be separated for other use, it can achieve a multi-purpose, saving resources and space, especially for people who often relocate.
- Project Duration
- Projekt dauer is 4 months.The project started in May 2017 and finished in September 2017 in China.
- Operation Flow
- When the cooker and the chassis are used in combination ，it can be used as a normal rice cooker, when the chassis is separated, the cooker is used to insulate rice, the chassis can be used alone as a induction cooker to cook other food.
- Research
- The design of this rice cooker is inspired by induction cooker. Separating the heating area of the rice cooker use as an induction cooker, it not only saves resources, but also saves space.Today's electric cooker is massified and the only thing that can be separated is the inside of the tank.The heating chassis cannot be separated.When the rice is cooked,the heating part is idle.It is a waste of resources.But this separated rice cooker is different.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. Separating the heating area of the rice cooker as an induction cooker not only saves resources, but also saves space.
