2. Look at the structure. A good casserole has reasonable structure, flat layout, round body, smooth inner wall, no prominent sand particles, tight lid and no deformation.
3. When purchasing, fill the casserole with enough water to check whether there is leakage. You can also tap the pot gently to see if the sound is crisp. If there is a hoarse sound, it means that the casserole is cracked. It is best not to buy it.
4. Buy casserole as needed. Generally speaking, you don't need a casserole with good pottery for decocting medicine, but you can buy a casserole with low price and no leakage. The pot for stewing food requires higher requirements, and it is best to choose a white casserole with good quality.
Use casserole:
(1) Some newly bought casseroles have a lot of sand stuck on their inner walls, so it needs to be brushed off with a small brush to avoid falling into the food.
(2) For the first time in the hinterland, it is best to cook noodle soup or porridge first. After eating, don't brush the pan first, and bake it by the fire to make the batter and rice juice dry, plug the tiny pores in the pan wall, and then brush the pan clean. This can not only prevent water leakage, but also boil water.
There will be no "ho, ho" sound.
(3) It can be used for cooking and cooking in casserole, but it can't be used for cooking. Because when the oil in the pot is heated, it is suddenly put into cold dishes, and the pot is easy to burst. In the same way, when cooking, water should be put in the pot before moving to the fire. If the pot is cooked first and then put in water, it will easily burst.
(4) When using it, handle it with care to avoid bumping. The hot casserole can't be placed directly on the ground, so it should be padded with two wooden chopsticks or other heat-resistant things, so as to avoid bursting due to uneven heat and cold inside and outside the pot wall.
Casserole maintenance:
Casserole is not suitable for use.
First, casserole is not suitable for cooking and cooking sticky iron food.
Second, before each use, the water outside the casserole must be wiped dry first. If you find that there is little water when cooking, you should add some warm water in time. Never spill or boil the soup in the pot.
Third, if your casserole is placed in a coal-fired stove, be careful not to make coal stand against the bottom of the casserole. In addition, the temperature of using casserole is different from that of using other types of pots. Generally, the cooking time in iron pot is strong fire-slow fire-strong fire, while the cooking in casserole is first with slow fire, then with strong fire, and after the soup is boiled, it is finally cooked with slow fire. Cooked dishes don't have to be served. You can put the pot and vegetables on a porcelain plate and serve them directly, or put them on a dry wooden board or straw mat. Never put them on a ceramic tile or concrete floor, or the casserole will burst when it suddenly gets cold.
Before using the new casserole, it's best to boil it with Taomi water, which can block the tiny holes in the casserole, prevent water seepage and prolong the service life.
