Sliced meat is an indispensable raw material when you rinse hot pot. Whether it's mutton or fat beef, the fresher the sliced meat used to rinse meat, the better. When choosing fresh meat slices, try to cut them as thin as possible, because if the meat slices are thick, it is not easy to kill parasite eggs when washing the pot, which will cause bacteria and parasite eggs hidden in food to be swallowed into the gastrointestinal tract with food, thus leading to diseases. Generally speaking, thin slices of meat are scalded in a boiling pot for about 1 minute, and the color of the meat changes from bright red to gray before eating.
★ Hair products: easy to cause ulcers and cancer.
According to the inspection of the relevant departments, some hotels' hot pot dishes such as blinds, yellow throats and magnolia slices look very white because they are foamed with toxic substances such as industrial alkali, hydrogen peroxide and formalin, which are explicitly prohibited by the state. Food experts point out that hydrogen peroxide will corrode the gastrointestinal tract and cause ulcers; Formalin may cause cancer. Therefore, when you rinse hot pot, you must pay attention to distinguish the good from the bad. Don't eat the blind and yellow throat.

This is the main reason why people who drink before sitting around hot pot are prone to gout. Hotpot is fragrant and interesting
