There are many different capacities for users to choose from, and besides the traditional models, some new pressure cookers have also appeared on the market. The imported cookers range in price from about 2,500,000 VND – 4,500,000 VND; the ones imported from China range from about 500,000 VND – 1,000,000 VND.

Slow Cooker

Ranked second on the list of popular products among household stores today because this type of slow cooker also helps cook food slowly while using less gas.

The cooker has a tight lid-locking system, with a vacuum insulation layer on the walls and lid of the pot, which keeps the hot air from escaping very well. The food only needs to be cooked until nearly done, then put it in the slow cooker and it will finish cooking on its own thanks to the hot air from the pre-cooked food. Users will save a significant amount of gas used for cooking. The main materials of the slow cooker are non-stick steel or stainless steel. In the process of using the slow cooker, the insulation layer on the walls and lid of the pot needs to be well maintained, especially not using the slow cooker on the outside for cooking.

On the market, slow cookers are mainly from Japan, with prices ranging from about 500,000 VND – 3,000,000 VND (depending on the brand and capacity).

Grill Pot

This type of pot can simultaneously grill and steam food, making the food cook quickly and evenly. Glass grill pots are considered the optimal choice thanks to their good heat resistance properties. However, consumers need to pay attention to choose pots with transparency, no air bubbles, even layers, no cracks, when tapping with your hand, it should sound clear, and when touched, the surface should feel completely smooth. The price ranges from about 800,000 VND – 1,500,000 VND.

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Energy Conservation Center, to save gas, electricity, consumers need to use cooking pots correctly as follows:
 
Use a pot size that matches the amount of food (to avoid too little food for the pot).
– Use metal pots with a not too thick bottom and pot walls.
– Apply soaking, pounding, and chopping stages when cooking to reduce cooking time.
– For electric rice cookers: do not cook rice too early, only cook rice 30-45 minutes before eating to reduce cooking time.
