That smell is caused by a variety of hot pot additives, flavor enhancers and aroma floaters?

According to restaurant industry insiders, the smell is caused by a variety of hot pot additives, flavorings and spice additives. Today, such additives are publicly available in hundreds of types on the flavor market. Although some small restaurants also use these additives in certain dishes to enhance their flavor, the flavor is not noticeable as the dish cools down quickly after serving. But these additives make a big difference when used in a pot because after repeated heating and boiling in a pot, the various additives completely evaporate into the air and stick to one's hair and clothes. This is why this flavor is particularly noticeable when eating hot pot. On the contrary, the aroma of natural ingredients evaporates relatively slowly and disappears relatively quickly.

It is impossible to determine whether harmful chemicals are produced from these substances after repeated heating of the hot pot. But according to common sense, it is, after all, a chemical substance. After entering the human body, if the metabolism is slow or even unable to discharge from the body, the long-term accumulation will still be harmful to the human body. The smell of hot pot and smoke is actually a small molecule that evaporates from various fats and adsorbs on clothes. This small molecule is difficult to dissolve in water, but it is easy to dissolve organic substances such as citric acid in lemon juice. As soon as they dissolve, they are carried away as the water evaporates and do not give off a foul odor. Therefore, the effect is most noticeable. For a hot bath at home, hang your smelly clothes in a steam-filled bathroom, remove the clock, hang them in a ventilated area and blow-dry them.

The aroma of steam and body lotion will take away the smell of hot pot. Hang the smelly clothes on a hanger, bring the fan of the hair dryer close to the clothes, and then blow-dry them with hot air so that the dryer swings continuously. After 5 minutes of blowing, the odor gradually disappears. Then continue blowing, and after 15 minutes, the smell of hot pot on the pot will almost disappear. However, it should be noted that the hair dryer should not be blown in one place for a long time, because it is easy to iron clothes.
