Iron pots appeared in the Song Dynasty. As early as the Warring States Period, iron pots had already appeared. However, at that time, iron pots were a luxury product, so they were not popularized in ordinary people's homes. At that time, although there were iron pots in the Warring States Period,

There is a pot, but there is no concept of cooking.

The popularity of iron pots only started after the Song Dynasty. Because of the emergence of capitalism in the Song Dynasty and the rapid development of the market, this also relatively promoted the development of the ironmaking industry. Therefore, during the Song Dynasty, it can only be said that iron pots were

The popularity of pots is when people use them most commonly.

You know, before the Song Dynasty, there was no concept of stir-frying. There were only cooking, broiling, steaming and other methods of cooking food. Today, let me introduce to you the cooking methods of the ancients.

The Neolithic primitive people who liked barbecue discovered fire by accident, which allowed them to understand how to use fire to prepare food. However, at that time, the primitive people were far from having a system in exploring food preparation methods.

and comprehensive knowledge logic, so they set up a recommended barbecue grill (mostly using stones and branches) to grill the processed food. It can be said to be the most primitive cooking food and food in human history.

How to cook.

The emergence of "boiling" in the Shang and Zhou dynasties was accompanied by the development of the copper industry. Containers that could be used to hold food appeared during the Shang and Zhou dynasties (some say it was during the ancient Yan and Huang dynasties). So people used roasting to bake.

The food is placed in a metal container, about the same amount of water is added to it, then a series of seasonings are put in, and finally it is ignited.

The emergence of the method of cooking food is a key to why humans eat healthily, because in all fairness, cooking food is far better than grilling it.

Therefore, from the history of the development of diet, we can see a history of the development of human lifespan and health.

"Steaming" is an ancient cooking method. Steaming and boiling have similar appearance times. This is due to the conditions of their birth. Its appearance time is as controversial as "boiling". Some people say it is the Yanhuang era, while others say it is.

It was the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties (but in essence, it was the period of slave society). According to expert surveys, our country's steaming skills were much earlier than those in the West.

The method of steaming is the same as boiling. It retains the nutrients of the food very well, which is a good care and protection for the human body and health.

As a relatively primitive way of processing food, barbecue has been well preserved by people during the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period and Pre-Qin Dynasty when cooking was developed. In the subsequent development, with the emergence of bronze and iron-making industries, in this part of China

On the ancient continent, another method of processing food appeared, and this method was "cooking".

This is the way of cooking, which is divided into frying and frying.

As early as Han Feizi's book "Han Feizi Jie Lao" he once said: "Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes". The cooking here is not the stir-fry we are familiar with, because the concept of stir-fry only appeared in the Song Dynasty, so it is not used at all.

Maybe, and cooking here means frying.

The original meaning of this sentence is that Han Feizi taught everyone that governing a big country is like frying a small fish. You have to fry the front and the back. It is extremely easy to turn your hands over.

Cooking and frying is another method. It uses the food to be processed in advance, and then put into the oil pan for frying.

Of course, in addition to these, there are many cooking methods in the history of our country. I will not introduce and explain them in detail with you one by one here. I have found a few of the most common methods of concentrated cooking of food.

Finally, here, I would like to popularize it. The iron pot appeared very early, probably at the end of the slave period, but the concept of stir-fry was only in the Song Dynasty (there is also a saying that it is the Tang and Song Dynasties).

Just appeared.
