“Idli is nothing but the batter post steam bath”. – Aditya Bafna “The Geeky Pen”
Idli is one of the staple diets in South India. It is one of the healthiest and easiest food to make at home. An idli maker is a common kitchen utensil, portable, and easy to clean. Firstly, decide the budget before you begin shopping. Also, determine the family size. Make a list of all of the factors that will influence the purchase decision. Next, decide on which type of idli maker is best for you. Once you have your list, you can begin shopping.
You should look for non-contaminating materials. A good idli maker to be used in the microwave will be BPA-free. BPA-based plastics may contaminate the food you are preparing and contribute to environmental concerns when they are disposed of.
It should be energy efficient. Some of the best idli makers are also multipurpose. The best idli maker will have multiple plates for idlis, dhoklas, and streamers. Some idli cookers will even make momos. You can cook several kinds of idlis at one time with a single machine. These idli cookers are ideal for large groups.
The best idli maker is one that is made of stainless steel. Its thick gauge and anti-rust properties make it very durable and easy to clean. It has plates for up to six idlis, which is perfect for a busy family. Stainless steel is also one of the most durable and hygienic metals to use. While you should avoid 304 stainless steel if you’re on a budget, this is the best option for you.
Stainless steel is a great choice for the best idli maker. Its durable construction and grade-A stainless steel material make it a great choice for both induction and gas stoves. Stainless steel also offers a lot of benefits, like it is easy to clean. Compared to an aluminum cooker, stainless steel idli makers are more sanitary than their aluminum counterparts. They also last longer than other types of cookware.
When shopping for an idli maker, it’s important to consider how many plates it has. A four-plate idli maker is great if you have two or three people in your household. A six-plate idli maker is more efficient for a family of four. A 24-plate idli maker is ideal for large families. But be sure to check the capacity of the idli makers that you’re considering.
