What is a clay pot?

Pots can be used for cooking, steaming rice or making soup, which can make dishes fragrant, rice grains full and elastic, and soup mellow and delicious.

Although the pot has many advantages in cooking, it will be fragile and easy to crack if used improperly. Here's how to use the clay pot:

1, the newly bought clay pot should be soaked in clear water for several hours, dried to cook porridge, and the tiny pores of the clay pot should be blocked to prevent water seepage. When cooking porridge, use a small fire, not a big fire, so as to avoid sudden heating and cracking of the clay pot.

2, can't pour boiling water into the cold clay pot, should be injected with cold water, dry the bottom of the clay pot, can be put on the stove, first simmer for a while, then turn to the fire to cook.

3. When using the clay pot to make soup, the water should not be too full, otherwise it will overflow.

Don't put the hot clay pot on the tile or floor, or it will burst when it is cold. You can put the clay pot on a wooden and grass pot mat, or put it on the stove to let it dissipate heat evenly.

5. Pots should be cooled naturally before they can be washed with water. Hot clay pots must not be washed with water, otherwise they will crack easily.
