Jiugongge hotpot is a traditional hotpot in China. Its unique design enables different ingredients to be cooked at different temperatures. Although the soup base is the same, the design of nine squares makes different cubes have different concentrations and temperatures, so that different ingredients can be cooked accurately.

Chongqing Jiugongge Hot Pot is one of Chongqing's special cuisines and one of the important representatives of China hot pot culture. Its unique design is mainly reflected in dividing the bottom of the hot pot into nine grids, and each grid is separated by baffles to form an independent space. This design concept is to separate different ingredients according to the requirements of calories, so as to taste the best taste.

Because each grid is separated by the baffle, the concentration and temperature of different grids can be controlled independently, so that the heat and time can be adjusted according to the characteristics of different components. This design method can avoid the mutual influence of ingredients in the same pot, and ensure that each ingredient can be tasted at the best time and temperature, thus achieving the best taste effect.

The origin of Jiugongge hotpot

It is said that when Jiugongge hotpot was first created, it was divided into nine compartments for the convenience of accounting. At that time, near the pier, vendors divided these pots into nine grids for different diners to eat. Customers can eat the grid they want and then calculate the money according to the grid, which is a cheap and convenient way.

Jiugongge Hot Pot was formerly an ordinary large iron pot, similar to the Guandong cooking that can be seen everywhere on the street now. Because there are too many people eating, the people sitting by the pot may not know each other.

In order to prevent the selected food from going to others and other people's food from entering their stomach, the hot pot restaurant uses wood as a grid to divide a cauldron into nine different grid spaces. Now the materials used in Jiugongge hot pot are basically replaced by iron.
