What pot should I use to fry Chinese medicine?

China has a long history and culture, and Chinese medicine is a treasure left by our ancestors! It is a traditional medicine for treating diseases in China. Although many Chinese medicines have been processed into proprietary Chinese medicines by pharmaceutical factories, there are still some medicines that need to be boiled by patients themselves. Decocting traditional Chinese medicine is not just as simple as putting the medicine in a pot and adding water to fry it together. From the beginning of choosing the pot of Chinese medicine, you can't be careless! So how do we choose the pot for frying Chinese medicine? Here are some suggestions for patients who need to buy a frying pan:

(1) traditional medicine pot. Black casserole is the most traditional decocting tool. Made of special soil, it can be divided into medicine pot, medicine pot and medicine stick according to different shapes. The biggest feature of casserole is its stable performance, which is not easy to react with drugs, and it is heated evenly and not easy to boil. So until now, many people still like to use this medicine pot to fry Chinese medicine. If you can't buy a black casserole, you can also use a white casserole instead.

In view of the easy damage of casserole, here are some tips to prevent casserole from breaking.

1. Avoid dry burning.

Don't add cold water suddenly when the casserole is hot.

Don't put the hot casserole of decocting medicine on the cold ground.

(2) Modern medicine pot. The traditional casserole is easy to be damaged, so now some patients are willing to use metal containers instead of casserole. When choosing a metal container, you must not use aluminum, because its wall is very thin, its heat conduction speed is fast, and it is easy to pinch the pot, and aluminum ions will also react chemically with some components in the drug, leading to drug failure. In addition, it is forbidden to use iron pan to decoct medicine, because after iron ions are combined with tannins and other components in the liquid medicine, chemical reactions will occur every month to generate substances harmful to the human body. Therefore, in a metal container, it is best to use an enamel pot and stainless steel pot to decoct the medicine. Their performance is stable, although the heat transfer is uneven, but at least they will not react chemically with the liquid medicine.
