New technologies can be installed or modified. It has better cooking effects and effectively improves the quality of products. The noodle barrel may heat up slowly, and the temperature control may not be as accurate as that of the noodle cooker. Once it is worn out, it is difficult to repair and generally needs to be replaced as a whole. Lack of automation functions, manual intervention is required during heating to avoid overcooking. The price is usually cheaper than that of noodle cookers. Large capacity can meet the needs of large-scale boiling. Single function, focusing on heating and boiling. Noodle barrels with simple structures generally have longer service life. Noodle cookers and noodle barrels each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The specific choice of equipment should be determined based on actual needs and operating costs. If the store is of high grade, has high requirements for cooking, or needs to pay attention to the image of the kitchen, a noodle cooker may be a better choice. If it is the first time to start a business, the store is small, it needs to pay attention to operating costs and the amount of noodles cooked is large, a noodle barrel may be a more practical choice.
