Advantages of casserole cooking

First, casserole cooking is convenient for human digestion and absorption. The biggest advantage of casserole is its uniform heat dissipation and long heat preservation time, which is suitable for older foods that need to be simmered, braised and stewed with small fire. Because casseroles are easy to decompose macromolecular nutrients in food into small molecules, such as protein into amino acids, fat into fatty acids, and carbohydrates into dextrin, which are easily digested and absorbed by human body.

Second, when stewing beans and other foods with high dietary fiber content, the casserole can fully soften the ingredients, making them easier to digest, and will not stimulate the stomach.

Thirdly, casserole cooking can better protect the phenolic compounds with health care function in the ingredients. There are a large class of substances with antioxidant and anti-aging health care functions in food, which are collectively called phenolic substances. If you cook with metal pots such as iron pot and stainless steel pot, phenolic compounds will form complexes with metal ions, and the health care function will be greatly reduced. But there are no metal ions in the high-quality casserole, which can avoid this trouble. In addition, because there are no metal ions, casserole cooking can better protect the original color of ingredients. This is why it is better to cook mung bean soup in casserole than in iron pot. This is the embodiment that casserole mung bean soup can retain more health care ingredients.

Casseroles can save fuel and be healthier.

South Korea Xiao, winner of the gold medal of the World Cooking Grand Saite, introduced that casserole can fully highlight the characteristics of ingredients and ensure that the original flavor of dishes is not destroyed. Casserole cooking can also save fuel, whether it is stew or soup; No matter whether it is Chinese cabbage tofu or beef, mutton and pork, only a little oil is used, which ensures health and obtains a rich and delicious taste of soup. However, experts unanimously pointed out that casserole is not suitable for cooking tender ingredients such as green leafy vegetables and fruits that need to be fried for a short time.

Matters needing attention when using casserole

However, the casserole is fragile and easy to crack. What are the precautions in use?
