Test of the MIDEA RHY2112 induction stove

So many programs are both good and bad. On the one hand, it is possible to select the best mode for any dish, on the other hand, there is a certain redundancy, and therefore some of the programs may be superfluous. “Deep fryer” is very similar to “Fry”, especially since the power and temperature levels can be changed. At first glance, “Boiling” is similar to “Chinese Samovar” and “Rapid Heat”. Some housewives may get lost, while others will just always choose one thing. Waiting for recipe book or more detailed instructions with description of each program. Especially the “Chinese samovar” is intriguing.

MIDEA RHY2112 – induction hob with one zone heating

FEATURES

If no program is selected 10 seconds after switching on, the stove switches off automatically. Pause function has a default setting of 10 minutes. If nothing is done within that time, a buzzer sounds and then the stove shuts off.

A smooth increase in power can be seen from the very first level. As with all induction ovens, we see a strong jump in the first levels, then the power levels level off and the 9th and 10th levels differ slightly from each other.

No surprises on this test. Everything is standard. The nuggets roasted almost evenly. The central one is a little stronger than the others.

We put the water in an open container to heat up in boiling mode the maximum power/temperature is automatically set . It took 4 min. 55 sec. – and water is actively bubbling in the ladle.

FUNCTIONAL

This induction stove is equipped with a large number of programs, literally for all occasions. Some of these programs are fully automatic: you can not adjust the time, temperature and power, while others are semi-automatic: you can preset but change them.

“Soup”: automatically stands level 6 power, temperature 160 ° C, time 2 hours. At the end of the program, the hob will automatically switch to temperature maintenance mode for 2 hours.

“Steaming”: level 8, t = 180° C, 1 hour.

In these programs, you can adjust the power, but it will only change for 2 minutes.

“Temperature maintenance”: t = 60°C, 2 hours.

“Boiling”: the power is variable.

“Milk”: level 2, parameters remain unchanged.

“Rapid heating”: maximum power and temperature, 1 hour. “Fryer”: level 8, 1 hour. “Frying”: level 9, 1 hour, the power and temperature can be changed. In these programs, heating occurs at high temperature, then the stove goes into intermittent heating mode.

“Chinese samovar”: level 8, 2 hours, heating time and power can be changed at any time. The program with this exotic name is the most versatile, it is designed for heating, stewing and boiling.

CONTROL

When plugging in the socket sounds a signal, but no indication. To activate, you must quickly press the power sensor and select the mode, otherwise the stove will automatically shut off. The best option is to first place the cookware on the hob, and then turn the stove on and set the required temperature.

The control panel is one of the most convenient. Both the power level and the corresponding temperature are indicated. All modes are signed. All inscriptions are made in American, clear, bright, large enough. The only criticism is the absence of the panel locking from children’s pens.

SAFETY

No heat on the stove if there is no suitable cookware. A buzzer sounds, the display remains unchanged and after 1 minute the hob shuts down, the fan briefly runs, then shuts down as well.

Advantages

A wide range of bottom diameters.

Reasonably priced. The fastest boiling of 1 litre of water among the tested single burner stoves . Very low noise level.

Disadvantages

No control panel lock.

Very fast shut-off if no program is selected: at first, you may not know what to select.
