1. Different cooking methods of rice
Generally, cooking with an earthen stove is done in a pot. When rice absorbs a certain amount of water, it will also spit some nutrients in rice into the water and become thick rice soup.
Then use a sieve to separate the rice from the rice soup, and then pour the rice into the pot to cook. Control the size of firewood in the stove, and the part that sticks to the pot becomes a yellow pot. This pot is especially fragrant and appetizing with rice soup. Only a pot burning firewood can cook this kind of pot porridge.
Cooking with a rice cooker and a pressure cooker, the rice is original and delicious, but in any case, it can't cook a very fragrant pot porridge.
2. Different cooking methods of vegetables
The earthen stove is a big iron pot, and the space in the stove is large, and the firewood can be more or less. The contact area of rice cooker and vegetable pot with fire can be large or small, and the fire can be large or small when burning firewood.
Most dishes, such as small gas stoves and small rice cookers, can't be served or fried. Only the firepower and capacity of the earthen pot can stir-fry the dishes that suit your own mind.
Second, feel different.
In the past, it was also a time when there were many family members and the production team was collective.
At that time, there was no such good life as now. The cooked rice may be all miscellaneous grains, and the fried dishes may be just a thin bit of sesame oil. It is precisely because of poor nutrition, less oil and water, and a large amount of labor that people eat more, get hungry easily after meals, and feel particularly fragrant when eating.
People from extended families have dinner together, and the atmosphere is particularly warm. Even the neighbors talked with their rice bowls, and the meal was finished before they knew it.
Now the tables are full, mostly full-time chefs. If you don't do it right, or don't like your own taste, even the delicacies are not as delicious as the dishes and radishes cooked in the earthen stove.
Third, the feeling of changing tastes.
I often eat food cooked by electricity, and sometimes I change my taste, which gives me a sense of freshness and naturally feels good.
Why are the dishes cooked by earthen stoves so delicious? First, the earthen stoves in rural areas have great firepower and high temperature. There is a big iron pot on the earthen stove, and firewood is burning under it. The aroma of cooking and cooking is mostly reflected in this firepower. Only with enough temperature and instant heating can we taste its taste and make delicious meals. When a stir-fried dish is steaming on the table, everyone can't help but say, "It smells good!" This "fragrance" is a "burnt smell" and it is very appetizing. However, it is difficult to achieve this with gas cooking and electric cooking.
Second, cooking with earthen stoves in rural areas can fully heat the flames, while cooking with gas stoves and electric woks depends on heat transfer at the bottom, which is normal for them to taste bad.
Third, earthen stoves are all cooked with firewood. Many kinds of wood contain fragrant smell, and some can extract essential oil. Burning wood in an earthen stove will naturally produce a unique fragrance, and food mixed together will definitely be more fragrant and delicious. Delicious dishes like Guo Mu Roast Duck take advantage of this to make the food taste unique.
