The Practical Electric Pan

An electric pan is an equipment for cooking. The shape is

almost the same as a regular pan, but this pan is way more
sophisticated. Usually, when we use the regular pan, we
need a stove to cook our food, but when we use this electric
pan, we do not need a stove to cook our food. Instead of
using gas energy, this pan uses electricity. It turns the
electricity into heat energy so that we can cook our food.

And unlike the regular pan, the electric pan has plastic
material. It makes the electric pan much lighter and more practical than the regular pan that
uses steel material. The regular pan is usually made of steel because it has to use a conductor
material so that the pan can deliver the heat from the stove fire to cook the food; meanwhile,
the electric pan can use an isolator material such as plastic because it doesn't have to make a
direct contact to the fire. The electric pan only uses steel for its inner part, but its outer part is
covered by plastic, so we don't feel hot when we touch it.

Usually, when we buy the electric pan, we will also get the cable to connect the pan to
the electricity. And for some pan brands, we will also get an additional container for steaming.
The electric pan has a multi-function. Besides boiling and cooking, it can also used for
steaming. You can heat your leftovers by steaming them with an electric pan. It is a good
solution for students like me who need to save money. By steaming our leftovers, we don't
need to worry that our food will get cold. We don't have to buy food too often because we
can always spare our food and heat it on an electric pan.
 To use the pan, we should plug its cable into the pan and the electric socket. After that,
we should press the on button to heat the pan. If the pan is already heating up, we can start
cooking. Always remember to unplug the cable off the electric socket after you finish
cooking because it can be dangerous, and it will be such a waste of electricity if we forget to
unplug it.

For someone who lives in a boarding house like me, I think this pan makes my life
much easier because we do not need to go to the pantry to cook. We can stay in our room and
cook using the electric pan. We do not need to share the pantry and wait for the others to
finish using the pantry. This pan is also more practical because of its light material. Besides
that, this pan can also be a good solution for students like us who have to save money.
