Abstract:The effect of “One Click to Stir-frying” function of cooktop on the cooking of Chinese cuisine was investigated in this study. Different kinds of meat and carrots were selected as the research objects. Cooking experiments were carried out by using the different cooking modes of Huadi JZT-i10509H cooktop, to investigate how the “One Click to Stir-frying” function with different cooking durations affected the temperature, moisture content, degreasing rate, texture characteristics, volatile flavor compounds, and sensory evaluation. The results showed that when beef was subjected to the cooking, the “One Click to Stir-frying” function made a higher beef temperature achieved in a shorter time, along with reduced heat processing loss (e.g. an increase of 20.1 ℃ compared with the control group after 40 s of cooking), a higher moisture content (60.16%~72.34%) as compared with the control group (57.46%~68.00%), better textural characteristics (including hardness, elasticity and chewability), more flavor-beneficial volatile substances (such as aldehydes, furans and lipids), and significantly imrpoved sensory score. When pork belly was subjected to the cooking, the “One Click to Stir-frying” function enabled an increased degreasing rate of meat (e.g. was an increase of 5.78% compared with the control group after 40s of cooking). When carrots were subjected to the cooking, the “One Click to Stir-frying” function allowed them to be cooked within a short time while maintaining a crisp texture and preventing further loss of carotene. In conclusion, the “One Click to Stir-frying” function can significantly enhance the outcome of Chinese cooking, which has an important reference value for the development and application of smart cooking appliances.
