Were there no iron pots before the Song Dynasty? How did people cook in ancient times?

In the Song Dynasty, there is an iron pot, as early as the Warring States period, the iron pot has been introduced, but at that time the iron pot belongs to a kind of luxury goods, so it is not popularized to the common people's homes, at that time, the Warring States although there is an iron pot, but there is no stir-frying of that concept. The popularization of the iron pot is after the Song Dynasty, because of the emergence of the bud of capitalism in the Song Dynasty. The market? s tell development, which also relatively led to the development of the iron industry, so in the Song Dynasty period of time, can only be said to be the popularity of iron pots, is the people use the most common time.

You know, before the Song Dynasty, there is no stir-fry this concept, only cooking, sizzling and steaming and other methods of cooking food, today let me come to understand the ancient way of cooking.

Like barbecue Neolithic

Primitive man discovered fire by chance, so that they know the way to use fire to make food, but at that time, because primitive man in figuring out the method of food production, far from a systematic, comprehensive knowledge of the logic, so they used to set up a proposed barbecue (mostly using stones and branches) to grill the already processed food, which can be said to be one of the most primitive methods of cooking food and cooking in the history of mankind.

? Cooking? The emergence of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties

With the development of the copper industry, in the period of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties appeared in the device food containers (also said to be the ancient period of the Yellow River), so people in the use of roasted based on the food placed in the metal containers, and then add almost the same amount of water in which, then put in a series of seasoning, and then finally to light the fire. Boiling? This method of preparing food is one of the keys to a healthier diet, because, in all fairness, cooking food is the only way to make sure that it's cooked properly. Boil? is far better than roasting food. So in the history of the development of diet, we can see a history of the development of human longevity and health.

? Steaming? An ancient cooking method

Steaming and boiling appeared at a time when there is a kind of much the same, this is because they were born of the conditions formed by the time it appeared and? Boiling? As controversial, some people say it is the age of Yan Huang, some people say it is the Xia Shang Zhou period (but in essence, is the period of slave society), according to experts, China? Steam? The technology is much earlier than the West. Steam? The practice of steaming is similar to that of boiling. Boil? Likewise, the nutrition of the food is well preserved, which is a good care and protection for the human body and health.

Cooking developed in the Spring and Autumn, Warring States and pre-Qin

Barbecue as a more primitive way of dealing with food, was well preserved, and in the subsequent continuous development, along with the emergence of bronze, iron industry, in the ancient continent of China, there is another way of dealing with food, and this method is ? Cooking? This method is called "cooking". Cooking? s way, divided into cooking and frying and cooking and frying.

As early as Han Fei Zi's book "Han Fei Zi 解老" he once said: ? The big country is like cooking a small fish. The original meaning of this phrase is that Han Fei Zi taught everyone that governing a large country is like frying a small fish in oil, the front side has to be fried, and the back side has to be fried as well, and it is easy to turn over one's hand and turn over the other.

And cooking and deep-frying is another way of doing it, which uses food that has been treated beforehand and then put into a frying pan and deep-fried.

Of course, in addition to these, there are many other ways of cooking in the history of our country, here I will not and you one by one to introduce and explain in detail, I looked for a few of the most common centralized way of cooking food.

Finally here, I again good everyone popularized, the emergence of the iron pot is very early, may be the end of the slave period has also appeared, but the concept of stir-frying is in the Song (there is also a saying that the Tang and Song dynasties) period before the emergence of.
