Winia Dimchae Unveils 'Dimchae Cook Low-Carb 50 Retro' IH Pressure Rice Cooker

Reduce Carbohydrate Content by Up to 51%

Winia Dimchae is introducing the new 'Dimchae Cook Low-Carb 50 Retro' IH pressure rice cooker for 6 servings, which allows easy preparation of diet meals.

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Winia Dimchae announced on the 3rd that it will launch a new 6-person IH pressure rice cooker model, the ‘Dimchae Cook Low-Carb 50 Retro’.

The new product is a 2020 model following the ‘Dimchae Cook Low-Carb 30’ released in November last year, and is the world’s first IH pressure low-carb rice cooker applying a patented algorithm.

Winia Dimchae explained that after commissioning the Korean Food Science Institute to test the new product, it was certified to reduce carbohydrate content by 46% compared to rice cooked with a regular rice cooker (based on white rice), and up to 51% depending on the rice variety (field rice).

This new product newly applies a frozen low-carb rice algorithm optimized for frozen storage. When cooking with the low-sugar frozen rice menu, even after freezing and thawing the rice, it maintains the freshly cooked rice taste and soft texture. It is more economical than single-serving rice and allows easy access to low-carb rice, making it perfect for consumers who divide and store rice in appropriate portions in the refrigerator or freezer.

It also added 18 healthy cooking menus for healthy dieting and 84 recipes. The low-moisture steaming function, which cooks using the food’s own moisture, minimizes nutrient loss such as vitamins and minerals, and allows easy selection of low-sugar, low-fat, and low-salt cooking using meat and vegetables without burning.

A konjac rice menu, a representative low-calorie food, was also added. Various konjac rice dishes using konjac, known as a food that is not digested in the digestive tract and stimulates the intestines, beneficial for constipation and dieting, are possible. In addition, for health-conscious consumers, functions for red ginseng aging, jeonggwa, and dalim were applied.

The new product’s low-carb tray is made of 100% stainless steel, and the handle and packing can be easily separated for convenient cleaning. After using the low-carb function, no water remains, making it hygienic, and it has an automatic tray cleaning function for clean use.

Produced domestically through research and development at the Dimchae Fermentation Rice Science Laboratory, the product is reinterpreted with a retro style inspired by radios and jars, featuring Korean curved motifs. It applies a direct touch function to deliver a sophisticated yet traditional gamasot (traditional Korean cauldron) rice taste. It is available in three colors: Ceramic White, Slate Blue, and Choco Brown, with a retail price in the 500,000 KRW range.

Kim Hyuk-pyo, CEO of Winia Dimchae, said, “The new Dimchae Cook Low-Carb 50 Retro IH pressure rice cooker features a retro design with analog sensibility and patented low-carb technology. It will be the optimal product for consumers seeking healthy food for diabetes or dieting, providing a trustworthy cooking experience.”
