The bottom of the spicy pot should not be too bright;

Secondly, you can observe the spicy pot bottom supplied by hot pot restaurant. If the spicy oil in the spicy pot looks bright and red, then there must be something hidden in the bottom of the spicy pot: because the bottom of the spicy pot cooked under normal circumstances should be slightly turbid, and the bright spicy pot is obviously added with Chili essence or hot pot red.

First, you can pay attention to see if there are many bubbles in the pot when the soup is boiling. Under normal circumstances, there is no foam when the bottom of the pot is boiled, and there may be problems if there is foam. Second, when merchants go to the bottom of the pot, don't boil the food in the pot before rinsing it. You can use a colander to scoop out the bottom of the soup first to see if there are any unknown residues. If there is, it means that the bottom pot of the hot pot is probably left by the last pot. In order to prevent the merchants from defaulting on their accounts, the bottom pot should be fished in front of the restaurant staff.
