Chongqing hot pot is innovative. Some ice cubes are placed in Xiao Cao of the hot pot boiler. When eating, ice cubes can be added, and the prepared ice cubes are added to the boiling hot pot bottom material and cooked with dishes. While eating, the ice cubes melt. Because of the different boiling points of oil and ice, when diners burn their dishes in a boiling pot, there are still large pieces of crystal ice cubes in the pot. The ice in the hot pot reduces the overall temperature, so that the hot pot does not feel hot. The ice added to the hot pot is cooled in advance with dozens of soup materials boiled by traditional Chinese medicines for summer and heatstroke prevention, which eliminates the worries of eating hot pot in summer, and the dishes scalded by ice water are very refreshing and not easy to get angry.

There is also a way to cook ice cubes with mutton in northern areas such as Inner Mongolia. There is a little story about this way of eating. It is said that when Genghis Khan went to Lake Baikal to fight, the conditions were hard and dripping into ice, so Genghis Khan ordered the soldiers to break the ice into helmets, then put the mutton in, and then make a fire to melt the ice water and cook the mutton at the same time. Later, it was found that the mutton tasted like this was different from usual and more delicious! After winning the battle, this way of eating boiled sheep in ice has become a delicious food for the three armed forces, which is both boiled sheep in ice and boiled sheep by soldiers.
