Tools: an electric casserole and a washbasin.
1. First put the medicine in a basin and soak it in cold water for 30-60 minutes. The appropriate amount of water for soaking is 3-5 cm.
Put the medicine on the fire and cook it with strong fire. After boiling, keep it slightly boiling with slow fire (small fire), which will slow down the evaporation of water and facilitate the dissolution of effective components. When slow fire is used, the timer is started, and drugs for relieving exterior syndrome (mostly drugs for treating colds) are decocted for about 15-20 minutes, while other drugs are generally decocted for 40-50 minutes.
3. Pour out the liquid medicine decocted for the first time, add a proper amount of hot water for the second time (not too much water, it is advisable to just submerge the medicinal materials for 2-3cm), and the decocting time is about 20-30 minutes.
Selection method of electric casserole:
Check the appearance of the product. In this link, we should pay attention to the integrity of product packaging, the comprehensiveness of product accessories and whether the main engine (including the inner pot) is bumped, cracked and scratched. In addition, it is also necessary to focus on whether the circuit part of the product is intact.
Although the volume of electric casserole can be selected according to your eating habits, it is recommended that you try to buy products with larger volume. For automatic electric casserole, there are two most practical functions: stewing and heat preservation. Among them, the stewing function is best to have two gears of "slow stewing" and "fast stewing" to meet the stewing needs of different types of ingredients.
