I. Materials
The traditional casserole is a ceramic product made of raw materials that are not easy to transfer heat, such as seasonable, feldspar and clay, and is fired at high temperature. Ceramic pots are made of exquisite materials, and are generally made of some ceramic material that is not afraid of the temperature difference between hot and cold.
Second, the appearance
Casserole is a glazed pot made of clay and sand, which is smooth, modern, bright and hygienic. The texture of the pottery jar is rough to the touch, and its shape is relatively simple.
Third, use.
Casseroles are generally used to make soup dishes. Casserole has small pores, poor high temperature resistance, large mouth and fast heat dissipation. The method of direct heating by medium and small fire is mature, and there are also heating methods such as steaming and stewing. Make soup in the north, and call it Bao in the south. Ceramic pot can make food heated evenly and fully, and make it more shiny after cooking; Ordinary clay pots can be stewed, stewed and braised. Pottery pots have large pores and are resistant to high temperature. In addition, the spout is small, the heat dissipation is slow, and the stew time is shorter.
Fourth, characteristics
The advantages of casserole are fast heat transfer, slow heat dissipation and strong heat preservation ability. Ceramic pot can avoid problems such as sticking and rusting.

Matters needing attention in casserole
Heat it gradually, and don't burn it suddenly on a big fire, so as not to burst.
After the dishes are cooked, when the casserole is away from the fire, frame the pot with sawdust, which can evenly dissipate heat, slowly cool and avoid cracking. You can also make an iron ring according to the size of the casserole. After the casserole is fired, put it on the iron ring, so that its bottom does not directly touch the ground, and naturally cool, which can make the casserole last longer.
Casseroles should not be used for cooking. Generally, casseroles are used to make soup and cook vegetables, because the oil temperature of cooking is very high. After the oil in the pot is heated, it is suddenly put into cold dishes, and the pot is easy to explode. Therefore, when cooking, you should add water first and then move it to the fire. If the pot is boiled first and then drained, it is easy to explode. When using casserole to make soup and stew meat, you should first put water into the casserole, then put the casserole on the fire, first with slow fire, then with strong fire.
When placing the casserole from the top of the fire, put it on a dry wooden board or straw mat, and never put it on a tile or cement floor.
Don't cook sticky food in a casserole.
Don't dry burn it, and don't wash it with water when it is still very hot, which is easy to crack.
Don't wet the bottom of the pot. Try not to wet the bottom of the pot when washing, and pay attention to confirm whether the bottom of the pot is dry when getting angry. Wipe the water outside the casserole before each use.
Casseroles that have survived traditional Chinese medicine should not be used for stews and soups. Similarly, casseroles used for stewing food should not be used for frying Chinese medicine.
