Recommended model for traditional electric pressure cooker: HD2180
 
Recommended model for IH electric pressure cooker: HD2038/21
 
In the 2011 evaluation of the Hong Kong Consumer Council, the Philips electric pressure cooker was recommended out of four stars (out of five stars) overall, ranking second for excellent heating performance. Philips is very keen on the innovation of heating technology, and when Japanese home appliance brands are still using single-cycle IH heating technology, Philips has launched a more advanced bi-directional circulation IH technology to make the heating of food more comprehensive and balanced.
 
Philips currently sells 2 products in China, both with a capacity of 5L, which are suitable for family cooking of 3-5 people. With 16 preset cooking programs, even novices can control them freely. It is equipped with a 24-hour reservation function as standard, and users can pre-set the time according to their own schedule and enjoy the food when they arrive. In addition, the Philips electric pressure cooker has also put a lot of effort into the optimization of silence, and the noise is less when discharging.
 
70% of electric pressure cookers on the market have juice harvesting capabilities, and Philips is no exception. Juice collection refers to boiling the soup to thicken, which can increase the flavor and luster of the dish. The electric pressure cooker reduces the pressure and increases the heat before the end of cooking, so that the water evaporates in a short time, so as to achieve the purpose of collecting the juice and flavor.
 
HD2180 is priced at 799 yuan, and the three taste options of "hard", "moderate" and "soft" are especially suitable for families with elderly and children. Under normal circumstances, the lid of the electric pressure cooker cannot be opened during cooking, but some dishes have strict requirements for the order of ingredients, and a pot of stew will affect its taste, so the manufacturer has developed the function of adding dishes halfway, HD2180 also has this function, which automatically exhausts and decompresses under the control of the microcomputer, and the user can open the lid to add ingredients halfway, and then continue to cook.
 
Another Philips product is the IH electric pressure cooker, model HD2038/21, which adds an intelligent memory function that allows users to store their favorite menus for easy next operation. The safety light on the top cover can show the working status of the electric pressure cooker, reducing the probability of opening the lid by mistake. In addition, the child lock function is also very intimate. Compared with the Japanese IH electric pressure cooker, the price of 1599 yuan also has a certain price advantage.
