Abstract: Many people like to make soup, so they buy soup pots. Soup pot is generally used to cook soup and porridge, but some people want to cook with soup pot, so can soup pot cook? Generally speaking, it is best not to cook in a soup pot. On the one hand, the fried food tastes bad, on the other hand, it may cause damage to the pot. How to use the soup pot? Let's have a look. First, can the soup pot be used for cooking?

It is ok to cook with a soup pot, but it will be very inconvenient when cooking. Because soup pots are generally cylindrical, there will be obstacles in putting shovels for cooking, which will hinder the use of shovels. And when cooking in a soup pot, pay attention to the proportion of oil, which is easy to put more oil.

In addition, the main function of the soup pot is to make soup. Its shape and size are designed according to a certain proportion, so the dishes fried in the soup pot will taste bad and may also cause damage to the pot body, so it is best not to use the soup pot for cooking.

Generally speaking, it is best to use an iron pan for cooking, which is pollution-free and evenly heated. Experts from the World Health Organization also recommend the use of wok, which is a traditional kitchen utensil in China. Generally, wok does not contain other chemicals, does not oxidize, and is safe and hygienic.

Second, how to use the soup pot

1, casserole

Casseroles are made of clay and sand at high temperature. The advantages of casserole are that it needs a small fire and takes a long time to work, with good sealing, easy to taste, good internal circulation and good heat preservation, and the soup made is delicious. Can withstand high temperature and stew for a long time, and needs to be stewed slowly, so that the soup is rich and delicious, and the original flavor is maintained without loss of nutrition.

But it is forbidden to use inferior casserole to make soup. The enamel of inferior casserole contains a small amount of lead, which is easy to dissolve when cooking acidic food, which is harmful to health. Note that the newly bought casserole should be soaked in rice washing water for one night, so that starch can penetrate into the pores of the casserole and make its pores closer. Also, the casserole can't be burned empty. Before you put the casserole on the stove, you must first put eight ingredients to be cooked, and at the same time, you must cook it with low heat, and then turn to medium heat after the soup in the pot is boiled. If you need water during cooking, you should add warm water, because the temperature difference between cold water and soup in the pot will cause the casserole to burst. The casserole is good, but the casserole has poor thermal conductivity and is easy to crack when it is hot or cold. Be careful when using it.

2. Old people

Pots are mostly used to make soup in the south. A crock is clay made of seasonable, feldspar, clay and other raw materials that are difficult to transfer heat. Fired at high temperature, it has good air permeability and adhesion, and also has the characteristics of uniform heat transfer and slow heat dissipation. When cooking soup, the crock can transfer the external heat to the internal materials in a balanced and lasting way, making the soup fresher and more mellow and the ingredients more crisp.

However, never put the crock directly on the marble desktop or tile floor, because the temperature difference will cause the crock to burst. Also, the newly used crock needs to be cleaned when the temperature of the pot body is not too hot to avoid cracking.

3. Braised pot

Braised pot is a kind of stainless steel pot. The braised pot is based on the principle of heat preservation. Generally, a braised pot has an inner pot and an outer pot. The inner pot is suitable for holding food and heating, and the outer pot is used for heat preservation. It has many functions such as boiling, stewing, stewing, burning, heat preservation, cold preservation, portability and so on. The taste of braised pot soup is slightly worse than that of casserole, unlike the original feeling of casserole stew, which is lighter. But the inner pot can be burned directly on the gas stove, and the operation is very simple.

Note that before using the new braised pot, you can inject water and appropriate amount of white vinegar into the inner pot, boil it on the gas stove, and then rinse it with water to remove the metallic smell of the new pot; The outer pot only needs to be wiped with a wet rag, and it must not be burned on the fire or washed under the faucet, so as not to destroy its heat preservation function.

4. Ceramic pot

Ceramic pot with white inner wall is also very good at making soup. When cooking soup, ceramic pot can lock the nutrients to prevent loss, and also ensure the delicious soup and constant temperature. Ceramic pot looks more delicious and lighter than casserole, but the stew tastes worse than casserole.

Note that when using ceramic pot, before making soup, it is best to boil the water in another pot, then soak the ceramic pot in hot water, then pour out the water, put the cooked soup on it, and then cook it slowly, so that ceramic pot will not be easily broken.

5. pressure cooker

The pressure cooker can cook the ingredients in the shortest time, and the nutrition will not be destroyed. Suitable for ingredients with high toughness and not easy to boil. In the heating process of pressure cooker, the temperature is higher than that of casserole and the time is shorter. Some delicious and sweet amino acids and oligopeptides can't be released into the soup well, so the taste is poor and the nutrition of the soup is poor. But judging from the raw materials of the whole pot of soup, the nutritional value is similar, because the loss or decomposition of nutrients in food during cooking is related to temperature and time. The higher the cooking temperature, the longer the cooking time and the more nutrients are lost.

Pay attention to the fact that the food added in the pressure cooker should not exceed the highest water level line in the pot, so as to avoid insufficient internal pressure and unable to stew the ingredients quickly.

skill

If you just want to make soup and have enough time, you'd better make soup in a casserole. After all, there are many flavor amino acids in soup, which is also beneficial to absorption. Of course, this does not mean that the nutrition in soup is higher than that in meat. And if time is tight, use a pressure cooker to make soup. After all, we still have to eat meat, and I'm sure you can't throw it away. In fact, the nutritional difference between the two soups is not as great as expected.
