"Pot simmering soup" is a kind of flavor dish popular in southern China. It uses a special large crock, the bottom of which can be burned, and the crock is built with an iron frame. The chef puts the small crock filled with soup layer by layer into the iron frame in the crock, then lights charcoal, and uses the high temperature generated by charcoal fire to cook the soup in the crock.
The height of the big crock for making "crock simmer soup" is about 1? 3 meters, made of coarse pottery. There is a circular iron cylinder at the bottom of the cylinder, which can hold charcoal for burning fire. There are three layers of iron frames in the cylinder, which can hold about 30 small cylinders. The top of the cylinder has an iron cover, which can be opened at any time. Charcoal and crock are put in from the top with iron clips. The small crock for soup is about18cm high and 20cm in diameter. It has a small handle, which can be held by hand and served on the table. In addition, there is a small cover with a small hole on it, which is used to exhaust excess heat when stewing soup.
When simmering soup, you need to clean all kinds of raw materials and put them in a small crock, then add seasoning and water? It is best to use pure water, cover it, put the crock into the iron frame in the crock jar, light charcoal, simmer the soup for 8 ~ 12 hours, and take it out.
