2. What should I pay attention to when cooking zongzi?

1. Ordinary pot. Clean the pot, pile the wrapped brown seeds into the pot one by one, and then pour a certain amount of water. Put some hanging objects on the piled palm seeds to prevent the palm seeds from floating when cooking, so that you can pat and cook zongzi with peace of mind. Cook slowly first, then slowly.
2. Pressure cooker. Similarly, the brown seeds are neatly stacked in the pot, and a certain amount of water is added. The zongzi cooked in the pressure cooker is gently pressed by the hanging objects, which can not only prevent the brown seeds from floating when cooking, but also prevent the brown seeds from escaping. However, when pressing palm seeds, it is necessary to ensure that the exhaust pipe of the pressure limiting valve of the pressure cooker is unblocked. Boil the fire until the pressure limiting valve starts the exhaust pipe, then turn to slow fire and cook for another 30 minutes.
