Casserole can transfer the external heat energy to the internal raw materials in a balanced and lasting way. A relatively balanced ambient temperature is conducive to the mutual penetration of water molecules and food. The longer this mutual penetration lasts, the more delicious ingredients spill out, the fresher the taste of the soup and the crisper the texture of the stew.
Casserole features:
1. Fast heat transfer, slow heat dissipation and strong thermal insulation. Generally, the food in a casserole can keep close to boiling heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. The casserole can transfer the external heat energy to the internal raw materials in a balanced and lasting way. A relatively balanced ambient temperature is conducive to the mutual penetration of water molecules and food, and can release the taste of food to the maximum extent.
3. Suitable for slow fire.
Matters needing attention
1. Heat it gradually, and don't burn it suddenly on the fire to avoid bursting.
2. After the dishes are cooked, when the casserole is away from the fire, frame the pot with sawdust, so that the heat can be evenly dissipated and cooled slowly to 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.
3. Don't cook in a casserole. Usually use casserole to cook soup and 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.
