Trick Use Terracotta Pot
1. Preparation of new clay pot (Seasoning)
Before putting a new clay pot on fire for the first time, do not apply immediately. You should take the "activate" step to close the perforation and increase strength:
Soaking ✅: Leave the pot and lid in clean water for one night so that the soil will absorb moisture until saturated, reducing heat cracking.
✅ Boiling Boiling Rice: An ancient method that works very well is to boil rice water or oil flour in a clay pot until it boils. The rice rubber is coated to cover the perforations along the soil, making the pot strong and not easy to leak.
2. Lighting technique with terracotta stove
✅ Start with a soft fire: Do not heat the fire immediately. Start with a light fire so that the pot will gradually adapt to the heat. If the ground meat expands too fast, the pot will crack.
✅ Don't let the pot dry: Avoid setting an empty pot on a heated stove. Water or raw materials should always be put first.
3. Precautions during cooking
✅ Water Refill: If the water in the pot is dry and needs more water, only warm water or room temperature water must be used. Do not put cold water in the hot pot, because it will cause the pot to "shock" and break immediately.
✅ Diet: The use of a willow or wood ladle is recommended, to prevent scraping the ground texture inside.
4. After-use care
✅ Pot Break: When descending from the stove, do not place on cold mortar or tile floors, should be placed on a thick wooden or fabric heat shield to gradually reduce the temperature.
✅ Washing: Should wait for the pot to cool down before washing. Should not wash while hot. And should not use dishwashing liquid that smells too strong because the ground meat may absorb the smell (using baking soda or water polish is best)
✅ Storage: Finished washing must be dried completely in a windy shade to prevent the formation of soil porosity mold.
