Uses and types of decocting instruments
The decocting device can automatically decoct medicine, which is very convenient and simple to use and is very popular among the public. How to use the decocting device? The following is my collection about the use and types of decoctors, hoping to help you.

How to use the decocting device 1? First of all, read the instruction manual of the product carefully, and make sure to thoroughly clean the domestic decocting device before using it for the first time.

2. Put the medicine into the decocting device, pour a certain amount of water, cover it, and wait for the medicine to mix with water for about 30 minutes.

3. Turn on the power supply, press the switch on the right, and the automatic decocting machine will start working. Press it again and the power will be cut off and stop working.

4. The left switch on the control panel of the decocting device controls the temperature, which is divided into strong fire and weak fire. You can choose according to your own situation and change the temperature manually.

5. When the indicator light on the control panel goes out and the buzzer rings, it means that the medicine has been fried. At this time, it will turn into automatic heat preservation state. At this time, just turn off the power and pour out the potion.

6. If you need to continue decocting, just add warm water and repeat the above steps.

7. After use, turn off the power and clean the decocting device.

Type of decocting device 1, fully automatic ceramic decocting device.

The pot body of this kind of decocting pot is mostly made of ceramic material, with stable performance, acid resistance and heat resistance, and will not react with drugs. The heating element is generally made of stainless steel, so there will be no slag sticking in the frying process, and it is relatively simple to clean. In addition, it is fully automatic in design, equipped with fast and slow gears, which saves time and effort and is very popular.

2. Automatic glass boiling device

The body of this frying pan is made of glass, and the handle and bottom of the frying pan are wrapped in plastic, with changeable colors and fashionable appearance, which is very popular among young people. The glass frying pan has many functions, besides decocting medicine, it can also cook tea, wine, porridge, noodles, soup and so on. , can be said to be the right-hand man in life.

3. Full-automatic purple sand boiling device

The pot body and inner container of the automatic purple sand boiling pot are made of high-quality ceramics, which can fully retain the efficacy during the boiling process and there is no danger of the pot body bursting. Purple sand itself is rich in minerals, which can also improve the pH of water during heating and has a health care effect on human body. Therefore, Zisha wok is also favored by people.

The invention realizes automatic decoction, and can be automatically decocted as long as medicinal materials and water are added. The temperature can be accurately controlled, which not only saves time and labor, but also reduces the waste of drugs to a great extent, which is more conducive to the radical cure of patients. Moreover, the automatic decocting device can be used to cook medicated diet, which has many functions.

The types of decocting instruments are more traditional.

The materials of traditional utensils can be divided into iron, copper, aluminum, crock, enamel, stainless steel, casserole, purple sand and so on.

Iron, copper and aluminum products: taboo materials.

Disadvantages: the chemical properties of iron are very unstable, and it can change chemically with various components contained in traditional Chinese medicine during decocting; During the boiling process of bronzes, trace copper ions will precipitate and form basic copper carbonate with some medicinal materials, which will affect the pharmacological properties. Aluminum products are not resistant to strong acid and alkali, and aluminum ions can be detected from the soup with pH 1 ~ 2 or PH 10, which is easy to cause some diseases in human body.

Casserole, crock, enamel

It is inconvenient to decoct medicine.

Advantages: uniform heat conduction and low price;

Disadvantages: Casseroles and jars are easy to dry and crack, and slag is easy to stick during cooking. Generally, it needs to be stirred, so there must be someone to watch it, otherwise it will easily overflow, burn and crack if you are not careful.

At the same time, the surface of casserole, crock and enamel is coated with glaze, which generally contains lead. Because traditional Chinese medicine is weakly acidic or alkaline, lead in glaze is easy to precipitate.

Red porcelain

It is an ideal decocting container.

Advantages: good thermal conductivity, stable chemical properties, strong air permeability, smooth and unglazed surface. At the same time, the far infrared function of the material itself can fully extract the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, which has health care function and ensures the best medicinal properties of the decoction.

In the process of boiling the traditional utensils, we found that it is necessary to guard them, otherwise they are easy to dry. If it is burnt, the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine will change and it can't be eaten any more. In addition, it is time-consuming and laborious to decoct traditional Chinese medicine by traditional methods, and it is difficult to control the quality and residual dose of decoction. Therefore, the emergence of automatic decocting equipment has saved people from these troubles.

Large decocting machine

Large-scale decocting equipment is mostly used in hospitals and pharmacies. It is made of stainless steel and has automatic control equipment. It can be decocted for a week or two at a time and packed in plastic bags one by one.

Advantages: it is worry-free and labor-saving, and can be eaten after reheating;

Insufficient: From the material of stainless steel itself, the chemical properties are relatively stable. However, the heating plate made of this material is easy to attach to the drug molecules and change color, and because it is a metal product, it may have some chemical reactions in direct contact with the drug molecules. In addition, the medicine fried by the decocting machine is relatively lighter than their own, so many patients will not only worry that the medicine is not fried thoroughly, but also worry that they have eaten other people's medicine by mistake. At the same time, the high-pressure decocting method adopted by the decocting machine may make some medicine components change under extraordinary pressure, which can't meet the requirements of frying first and then decocting, and can't achieve the efficacy of the original medicine. It also breaks the traditional habit of decocting the medicine on the same day and is questioned by some people.

Externally heated domestic decocting device

Household external heating automatic decocting pot, that is, split heating. The general pot body is purple sand and porcelain, and the electric heating device is designed outside the inner container.

Advantages: Split design, easy to clean;

Insufficient: The poor thermal conductivity of ceramic products is due to a large number of pores. When using an external thermal power supply, the speed of heat transfer to the kettle is slow, so the power of the power supply is generally below 250W, otherwise the power supply will easily burn out by itself due to a large amount of heat accumulation. Due to the above reasons, the speed of external heating decocting device is very slow, generally more than 2 hours, which will have adverse effects on many Chinese medicines. Especially for traditional Chinese medicines that need to be boiled for tens of minutes, the external heating automatic boiling device does not meet the requirements of boiling.

Internal heating type domestic decocting device

The pot body of the internal-heating domestic automatic decocting device is made of purple sand, stoneware and porcelain, and its heater is placed at the bottom of the pot, so the heating speed is faster than that of the external-heating device.

Advantages: Due to the thermal insulation performance of ceramics, the internally heated medicine decocting device has less heat loss and high thermal efficiency, and can use a high-power heater, and the decocting speed can be controlled as required;
