Excuse me, can I use a porcelain bowl to boil Chinese medicine?

Of course. Generally speaking, good quality porcelain bowls can be boiled in boiling water, but they should not be put into water suddenly after boiling, but heated with cold water, otherwise the porcelain bowls may be damaged by sudden heating.

When porcelain bowls are used for the first time, they are generally not infected with bacteria. To kill the bacteria on the chopsticks, you only need to heat them in water at 100℃ for five minutes, or you can disinfect them with high-concentration liquor. When cooking porcelain bowls, there is no need to extend the cooking time. At the same time, the porcelain bowl should be cooled in a ventilated place after it is cooked, and it should not be exposed to cold water immediately.

When choosing a porcelain bowl, you need to see whether the porcelain glaze is smooth and smooth, and whether there are scratches, holes, black spots and bubbles; Second, see if the shape is regular and deformed; Third, look at the picture without loss; Fourth, to see if the bottom is flat, it must be placed smoothly without burrs. You can also listen to the sound of snap-button porcelain. If the sound is crisp and pleasant, it means that the porcelain tire is fine and dense without cracks. When fired at high temperature, porcelain is complete. If the voice is hoarse, it can be concluded that the porcelain tire is cracked or the porcelain is incomplete. This kind of porcelain cracks easily when it changes hot and cold.

For matching porcelain, it is necessary to compare accessories to see whether their shapes and picture decoration are coordinated. In particular, a complete set of blue-and-white or blue-and-white exquisite porcelain, because the color of blue-and-white varies with the firing temperature, is both blue-and-white porcelain and has two colors. A set of several or even dozens of complete sets of cold porcelain, if the blue and white colors are obviously different, this set of porcelain is inferior.
