1, ceramic pot: it is not easy to paste the pot and will not chemically react with the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine. It is easy to clean, does not leave the odor of medicine, has the function of keeping fresh, and is a good decocting instrument.
2. stainless steel pot: It has the characteristics of fast heat transfer, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life, and is the foundation of modern multifunctional Chinese medicine decocting device.
3. Copper pot: A copper pot made of copper is one of the commonly used paste-making instruments. As a simple substance, copper has a melting point above 1000 degrees Celsius, and its physical and chemical properties are relatively stable, but its disadvantage is its high price.
4. Full-automatic Chinese medicine pot: there are micro-electronic devices to monitor the automatic decoction to prevent boiling overflow, full-automatic heat preservation, small fire and strong fire, which can not only decoct medicine, but also boil water, stew and make soup. However, it should be noted that the heat preservation function cannot be used after the medicine is boiled, and the liquid medicine should be poured out in time to prevent the liquid medicine from being sucked back.
Extended data:
Pot not suitable for decocting traditional Chinese medicine
1, iron pot: the chemical properties of iron are unstable, and it is easy to change chemically with tannins, oils, alkaloids, coumarin and other components contained in traditional Chinese medicine during the decocting process, which affects the drug efficacy, and even the liquid medicine is bluish black, astringent and smelly.
2. aluminum pot: Not resistant to strong acid and alkali. Aluminum ions can be detected from the decoction with pH value of 1 ~ 2 or pH value of 10, and even aggravate some diseases caused by excessive aluminum content in the body.
3. Copper pot: The common copper pot is an alloy composed of copper and zinc. Trace copper ions can be detected when the liquid medicine is boiled. Copper ions will oxidize unsaturated carbon chain oil and vitamins A, C and D in traditional Chinese medicine and lose their biological activity, and may cause irritation and toxicity to mucous membranes, so ordinary bronzes are not ideal cooking utensils.
