Some common foods that can be prepared using an EPC include Ugali, Rice, Kande, Beans, Meat, Bananas, sweet potatoes, Mtorietc
SESCOM EPCs have the following advantages;
- Saves time - Cook food in a fraction of the time that could be used when other sources of fuel are used and it still tastes good.
- Cost saving - Highly energy-efficient, most dishes can be cooked with less than half a unit of electricity.
- Safety – EPCs have multiple safety features that prevent any unexpected scenarios.
- Retains nutrients – No steam escapes hence nutrients are retained.
- It is very convenient – An EPC is automated, which means that it is very difficult to burn the food as it switches off the power when the temperature in the pot gets too high. Also, once the time is set everything else is auto-regulated sparing precious time to do some other important things while waiting for delicious meal.
- Better flavors – The steam prevented from escaping locks and retain the better flavor inside.
- Improved health – Avoid health problems caused by smoke and other hazardous emissions from combustion of biomass.
