Statement 1: It depends on how big jiaozi is. The density of brown leaves is closely related to the density of pine trees. Red beans and peanuts take a long time to soak, and glutinous rice is enough for half an hour. It takes an hour to steam in a pressure cooker.

Statement 2: Boil in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes to half an hour. Zongzi is too long to cook easily. There is no pressure cooker. If the package is tightly wrapped, it may take 2 hours for it to be cooked thoroughly, otherwise there will be particles in the middle. If the bag is loose, it will be faster, an hour and a half.

Statement 3: The time to cook zongzi is related to the size of the zongzi you wrap. Glutinous rice must be soaked first, and it is best to put some gray water (salty) when soaking, so that the cooked zongzi is delicious. To know if it is ripe, pick it up to a certain extent and press it with your finger. If it feels soft and sticky, it's cooked. Otherwise, turn it over and continue cooking. My wife cooks zongzi about two meters a catty, and it takes more than six hours to cook it with ordinary aluminum pot. Our firewood is free, and it is very lively for several families to cook together, sometimes for eight hours at a time.

What pot is the best for cooking zongzi?

Ordinary pot

1, scrub the pan and pour a proper amount of water into the pan.

2. Put the wrapped zongzi into the pot one by one.

3. Put a small basin on top of the folded zongzi, which is filled with water to prevent the zongzi from floating (heavy items can also be put in the basin).

4. So you can cook with fire.

pressure cooker

1, put the wrapped zongzi neatly in the pressure cooker.

2, with a clean stone pressure, prevent zongzi run, leave enough space in the pot, ensure the pressure limiting valve exhaust unimpeded.

3. The amount of water added to the pressure cooker is equal to the zongzi placed on the upper layer. Remember to add a bowl of stock solution of cooked zongzi leaves, so that the cooked zongzi is particularly fragrant.

4. Put the pressure cooker on the gas stove or induction cooker. After the pressure limiting valve starts to exhaust, turn to low heat and continue cooking for 30 minutes.
