Our Review
We get to look at the Tatung TAC-11QN model that seems to offer more features for the price issued. Get to
learn more about the product from our in-depth analysis below.
Size
Size matters a lot because of storage space and personal taste. You would not want a too big rice cooker
that you have to take out a few things in your kitchen just to accommodate it. Luckily, for the Tatung
TAC-11QN model, it has the right size. The cooker measures 12.3 x 12.3 x 11.7 inches in dimensions.
Heating Technology
The heating technology is always important so as to know how the rice will be cooked and amount of heat that
will be used. This model uses the indirect heating system to cook the rice. The advantage of such a system
is that you get to preserve the texture and taste of your food dishes. The indirect heating system works
by heating and steaming the entire pot at the same time. The result of such a technology is that you will
end up with tastier dishes that are evenly cooked. The manufacturer claims that such a method will help
reduce the amount of heat needed to keep cooking the food as it cooks all at the same rate.
Design
The manufacturer did a great job with the design. The rice cooker resembles a normal cooking pot that we
use at home all the time. Such a design makes someone comfortable with the product about its capabilities.
Other than just the shape, the manufacturer made it easy to operate the cooker altogether. You only get
three buttons on the control panel, the buttons are for on and off, warm and cook. Just like that, you
should be able to cook or warm your meals.
Usage
The product is made to be a rice cooker, but still it comes with other functions it can support. The cooker
can also prepare stew, steam, boil and reheating your meals. With many functions, you should be feeling
the value for your money anytime you get to use the product. The same cannot be said for some of its competitors
whose functions are just to cook rice and nothing else. So the next time your rice gets cold, simply reheat
it to have a nice warm plate of a meal.
Clean Up
The inner and outer parts of the rice cooker are made of stainless steel. This means that you get to enjoy
food that does not have any metal contaminations. We all know that stainless steel will not corrode any
time soon. The same steel material is quite easy to clean after you have done cooking. With simply washing
techniques, you should be able to remove the rice debris still in the cooking pot.
Price
For a new Tatung TAC-11QN rice cooker, you will have to pay $125 to get it. The price for used rice cookers
of the same models is slightly cheaper than the new one. Even with such a price, it is still among the
affordable rice cookers on the market right now. You should be in a position to get one for your family
if it ends up impressing you with the features.
Warranty
The manufacturer offers a limited warranty period of 1 year on the product. The limited warranty applies
to the parts and labor that will be used during the servicing session. Do not take the rice cooker for
servicing when the damage is due to careless mistakes or you have made some changes to it. Ensure that
you read the store return and refund policy before buying a product from it.
Add Ons
You will get several add-ons when buying this Tatung TAC-11QN rice cooker. It comes with a steaming tray,
rice spatula, inner pot lid, and a measuring cup. The measuring cup is important when you have to get
the right amount of rice into the cooker and the steaming tray is used for warming your food when it gets
cold.
