Because the casserole of clay pot rice has a short service life, it is necessary to tie the casserole. A casserole tied with iron wire can not only reduce the chance of cracking, but also smear rice on the crack to save the old casserole. If there is no wire, it is a pity that it can only be thrown away if it is cracked.

The longer the casserole is used, the more it can absorb the aroma and make the cooked vegetables and soups more fragrant and stronger. After adding the iron wire, the service life cannot be extended, but when there is a crack in the casserole, it will not suddenly burst and cause an accident. It's purely for safety. Cracks in casseroles are mostly caused by cold and heat. If used carefully, it can be used for a long time without wire.

Matters needing attention and key points of casserole:

Soak the casserole in water for a day, let the dry pot absorb enough water, and then add rice washing water. Cook on high fire for about 10 minute to let the starch in the rice washing water fill the gap in the casserole. If there are tiny cracks in the casserole, as long as the cracks are not deep, you can cook rice washing water again according to the above steps, and usually you can fill the cracks.

Then pour out the rice washing water to prevent the new casserole from cracking due to uneven heating in the future. Then dry the casserole with a rag. Invert the casserole on the cupboard and air dry naturally. Casserole is porous, absorbent and easy to absorb the taste of food, so it must be thoroughly cleaned after use.
