Next-Generation Cooking with Graphene Heating Tube
Graphene, often described as a “Supermaterial,” offers exceptional thermal conductivity, high-temperature resilience, and outstanding durability. Compared with conventional heating tubes, Midea’s graphene-enhanced tubes transfer heat more quickly, withstand higher temperatures, and significantly shorten preheating times, transforming everyday cooking into a faster, more efficient, and reliable process.
Fast, Energy-Efficient, and Precise
Midea’s graphene technology enables preheating-free air frying and faster oven heating. Internal lab tests demonstrated substantial time savings while maintaining consistent, high-quality results. Midea’s graphene heating tubes reached 1300°C instantly in just 0.2 seconds, a breakthrough that enables preheating-free air frying and oven cooking.
Building on this rapid response, graphene technology delivers remarkable time savings across a variety of dishes:
- Homemade Bread: 25 minutes vs. 49 minutes – 49% faster
- Beef Meatloaf: 70 minutes vs. 110 minutes – 36% faster
- Sponge Cake: 33 minutes vs. 40 minutes – 18% faster
By reaching target temperatures almost instantly, graphene reduces overall cooking times and energy use without compromising taste or texture.
Far-Infrared Cooking for Superior Results
Graphene tubes emit powerful near-infrared radiation, nearly twice as effective as quartz or metal tubes. This advanced heating achieves rapid, appetizing browning while locking in moisture, delivering tender interiors and professional-quality results across meats, breads, and delicate pastries at home.
Enhanced Visibility and Culinary Ease
Graphene heating tubes shine brighter than traditional elements. Paired with halogen lighting, they provide a clear view of dishes without opening the oven door, giving users confidence and control throughout the cooking process.
Culinary Creativity Made Simple
With rapid heating and precise temperature management, Midea’s graphene-enhanced ovens support a wide range of pre-set programs for everyday and gourmet dishes. From Cannelés and Madeleines to Roast Chicken with Foie Gras or St. Louis-style Spare Ribs, even novice cooks can achieve consistent, professional-quality results.
Sustainable Innovation
Durable and energy-efficient, graphene heating technology reflects Midea’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, delivering reliable performance while reducing energy consumption.
