Although Fengnian is relatively niche in the Chinese mainland market, it is a national brand of Korean pots, with a market share of 70% in its home market, and also has a good mass base in Taiwan.
 
Since its establishment in 1954, Maple has won many awards, including the Best of The Best Award, the Product Design Award of the IF Design Award, and the most influential Asian awards such as Good Design Selection.
 
Most of the pressure cookers in Fengnian are around 700 yuan, but there are not many products in the Chinese market, and they are keen to use aluminum alloy materials, only HCPC (1H) and PCPC (IH)-06 pressure cookers use 316 stainless steel.
 
According to the national standard "GB13623-2003", the cooking pressure must be less than half of the safe pressure, which further limits the upper limit of the cooking pressure of the aluminum alloy pressure cooker, the pressure drops, and the hydrolysis capacity will also be weakened, reducing the cooking efficiency.
 
Taking PSPC-18C as an example, its cooking pressure is only 88Kpa, which is lower than the 90-100Kpa of most manufacturers, even if the heating speed is faster, because the maximum temperature is not as good as that of other manufacturers, the overall cooking efficiency of PSPC-18C can only barely be on par with other manufacturers. In addition, due to the need to ensure safety, the pot body of Fengnian PSPC-18C has been thickened, and the overall weight is not dominant, and the weight of the 4.4L pressure cooker has reached 2.6Kg, which is at a medium level in the industry.
 
For aluminum products, many people will worry that excessive ingestion of aluminum through pots and pans will damage the central nervous system. However, as far as the current mainstream view in related fields is concerned, the possibility of excessive intake of aluminum through the pot is very small, and PSPC-18C has not been coated with a layer of film on the inner tank, which further reduces the possibility of aluminum intake on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also makes the inner tank more durable, although the price of 750 yuan is not cheap, but there is still a certain market.
 
Another Fengnian STLPC-20C pressure cooker is quite distinctive, its "zeolite liner" is a very important marketing topic in the field of homogenized pressure cookers, its main significance is to soften the water quality, but for most parts of China, this function is of little significance.
 
The STLPC-20C resembles a casserole, so many users are accustomed to thinking that it is better at making delicious soups than other pots. But in fact, the reason why the soup stewed in a casserole is delicious is because its heating temperature is maintained below 100 °C, and the free amino acids, nucleotides and oligopeptides in the meat are preserved, while the boiling point of the water in the pressure cooker exceeds 100 °C, and the above substances will be degraded in large quantities, so the zeolite liner not only can not make the soup fresher, but may reduce the cooking efficiency, so the price of 1600 yuan is not so cost-effective.
