Since the launch of the first product in 1995, Liren has been improving the structure of the electric baking pan and creating a number of industry precedents, among which the floating design adopted for the first time in 2003 has expanded the cooking function of the electric baking pan and further enhanced the reputation of the electric baking pan. Since then, Liren has been successfully listed on the stock market with the foundation laid by the electric baking pan, which is not common in the field of small household appliances in China, and highlights Liren's strong strength. Although Midea and Supor have seized part of Liren's market share in recent years, Liren still has a great advantage in product coverage and technological innovation.
At present, the electric baking pan market has not yet formed a scale, and most brands on the market only have a few products, while Liren dares to launch dozens of models, which are extremely rich in variety, and even Midea can only bow to the upper hand. Liren's self-confidence stems from the preference of northern users for cakes, and the electric baking pan was originally a product tailored for northern users.
The electric baking pan can be divided into mechanical type and microcomputer type according to the operation mode. Microcomputer products are in line with the intelligent development trend of small household appliances and have great attraction to young consumer groups. Nowadays, Liren is also promoting this kind of electric baking pan, with a price range of 160-600 yuan, with a number of preset menus, which can be cooked with one click, especially suitable for novices. But the design that really solves the user's "pain point" is the detachable baking tray, which can be removed after cooking and rinsed under the faucet for more thorough cleaning. This function is only available in some of the more expensive microcomputerized electric baking pans. In addition, Liren is also equipped with a timing function in a variety of products below 200 yuan, which is extremely cost-effective, after all, Midea and Supor only have flagship machines that can be fried regularly.
Although the mechanical electric baking pan is not as beautiful as the microcomputer-based product, it shows no signs of decline, because it is intuitive to operate, and the cooking itself does not require a particularly high degree of automation, and relies more on the user's cooking experience. Liren launched 7 mechanical electric baking pans, the price ranges from 100 yuan to 400 yuan, the highest configuration LR-360A is even higher than other brands of microcomputer flagships, but the baking tray material and coating are not separated from ordinary products, the baking pan is not removable, and the design of the oil guide groove is also decent, which is obviously not as good as Liren's other 100-200 yuan price products worth buying.
It is worth mentioning that the suspended structure has become an important reference to measure the qualification of an electric baking pan, except for LR-J321, Liren electric baking pans are equipped with a floating structure as standard, the design can adjust the distance between the upper and lower plates according to the thickness of the food, and the pancakes and thick cakes are not a problem. Generally, it is recommended to fill in the ingredients with moderate thickness, if it is too thin, the upper plate will not be heated properly, and it is easy to burn the bottom layer and the upper layer is still sandwiched. If it is too thick and the lid cannot be covered, not only will it not be able to cook the food, but it will also spill grease stains and increase the burden of cleaning.
In all fairness, users don't have to pay too much attention to the diameter of the baking pan when buying an electric baking pan, the difference in centimeters will not bring a huge difference in the amount of the pan, and in order to prevent sticking to the upper plate, the ingredients cannot be placed around the lower plate, that is, all the electric baking pans on the market will eventually produce a cake smaller than the diameter of the baking pan.
