[Edit this paragraph] Maintenance of Casserole Casserole is a ceramic product made of quartz, feldspar, clay and other raw materials. After being sintered at high temperature, the pot body forms a glass body. This kind of vitreous body has poor adaptability to temperature differences. If the casserole is suddenly heated or cooled, it will cause rapid expansion or contraction, resulting in cracking. In view of the characteristics of casserole, the following aspects must be paid attention to when using it:

1. Warm it gradually and do not burn it suddenly on the fire to avoid swelling and cracking.

2. After the food is cooked, when the casserole is removed from the fire, use wood chips to support the pot to dissipate heat evenly and cool it slowly to avoid shrinkage and cracking. You can also make an iron ring according to the size of the casserole. After the casserole is removed from the fire, place it on the iron ring so that the bottom does not directly touch the ground and is suspended in the air to cool down naturally, which can make the casserole last longer.

3. Newly bought casseroles often leak because they have many blisters. When a new pot is used for the first time, it is best to make noodle soup or porridge. After eating, do not wash the pot, but put it on the stove to bake it to dry the batter in the pot and block the tiny blisters on the wall of the pot. Then wash. This way, the casserole won't leak.

The casserole hooped with iron wire is not easy to crack. The casserole is hooped well. The unique feature lies in the iron wire and hoop work used. Many casseroles with hoops on the market use very thin iron wires, and the iron wires are not close to the pot body at all. In this case, not only the iron wires are easy to burn, but also the loose ones cannot lift the casserole. protective effect. A well-cooked casserole uses strong thick iron wires and is hooped by Master Chen, who has many years of experience in hooping pots. The unique hooping technology enables the iron wires to stick closely to the pot body. Therefore, the durability of a well-hooped casserole is significantly improved compared with ordinary casseroles. [Edit this paragraph] Burning can also be repaired. A well-hooped casserole is protected by thick iron wires and will be more resistant to burning than one without hoops; if it does burn out, the cracks will be very small and it will not burn more. The more you open it, the more you can continue using it with a very simple remedy.

(If a casserole without hoops burns and cracks, the cracks will become larger and larger, and the casserole will be easily scrapped)
