The so-called "poor also crisp pot, rich also crisp pot", that is to say that the raw materials to do crisp pot can be according to their own conditions to match. For example, if your family is rich, you can make the whole chicken and fish into it, and if your family is poor, you can make some fish heads and tails, broken meat or racks into it, which is also known as "crispy pot", and when you have guests, you can serve them with a plate of: taste my family's crispy pot!

The process industry has been formed, using vacuum packaging, bagging and selling to all over the country. A lot of people have eaten, said it is really a masterpiece!
