Abstract：In order to improve the uneven cooking of a heating tray type electric rice cooker,the influence of side heater power on the quality of rice is investigated by heat convection in the pot,moisture content,uneven rate of cooking rice and sensory evaluation.Verified on an ordinary 5 L rice cooker body(P=750 W bottom power+different side heater power),the experiment shows that the uniformity of rice is the best at 6.85%when the side heater power is 40 W;the uniformity of rice when the side heater power is 20 W is similar to that when it is 40 W,which is 7.96%;when the side heater power is 20 W and 40 W,the smoothness of each point in the heat convection test pot is the best;when the side heater power is 80 W,the rice sample scored the highest in sensory evaluation.The results show that for a rice cooker with 5 L body and 750 W bottom power,matching 20 W～40 W side heater has the best effect on rice quality improvement.
