Why is the food cooked with firewood more fragrant?

Although the use of firewood will produce a lot of pungent smoke and ash, it has many advantages over natural gas.

First of all, in rural earthen stoves, a large iron pot is buried in the stove chamber, just like an iron pot is embedded in the stove, so that the bottom of the iron pot is almost in contact with firewood, and the heat of firewood can be evenly distributed in every place of the iron pot, so that food can be heated at the same time, so that the food can be cooked without excessive stir-frying, and the original flavor of the food is preserved.

In addition, firewood is heated in a different way from natural gas. We found that we can feel the heat wave of firewood far away from the firewood pile, but the surrounding temperature is actually not as good as the firewood next to liquefied gas in the city.

For example, in winter, some people will use firewood to keep warm, but they will never turn on natural gas to keep warm. This shows that although the burning temperature of firewood is not as high as that of natural gas, its thermal radiation is stronger, and firewood can heat food through thermal radiation, so that food will not lose its nutrition and taste because of high temperature.

Extended data:

Chai rice is the rice cooked by rural people with firewood. Most rural people use primitive stoves at home to burn straw, corn straw, wheat straw and so on. And heating a large wok to cook food. ?

Nowadays, firewood is the name that urban people use firewood to cook for rural people.

When cooking, rural people cook in a large iron pot heated by burning straw, wheat straw and cotton stalk on the stove. The specific method is to boil boiled water and rice with high fire, then take out the rice and rice soup and drain it (otherwise the rice will rot in the pot), then put the rice drained with rice soup into a large iron pot, insert some air holes with chopsticks, and simmer slowly with low fire, which is "Chai Mi".

Generally, cooking in rural areas will form a large number of crispy rice at the bottom, and the rice soup cooked before is crispy rice porridge. ?

"Chai Mi" is the most common meal for rural people, and you can eat any meal. However, due to accommodation factors, city people can't cook with an open flame, and they are tired of eating big fish and meat. In order to find the taste of rice when they were children, they constantly pursued the rice they had eaten when they were children, so they had "Chai Mi".

At present, in order to attract consumers, many businesses have launched a wave of firewood cooking. The real "rice" should be cooked with wood in a large iron pot. In the eyes of modern people, it should be rice with great firepower, which can control the heat of heated rice, make it boil constantly and release a unique rice flavor.
