Nowadays, the pots we cook at home are basically round bottomed. The versatility of this type of pot is like an oven in foreign households, because foreign cooking is basically baking rice, so an oven is necessary. If we didn't have this round bottomed pot, we wouldn't be able to cook. If we can't cook, we can't eat well. So in China, this round bottomed pot is definitely essential, but abroad, they also have a type of pot, but it's a bit different from ours, their pots are all flat bottomed. So why do people in our country use round pan, while foreigners use flat pan? In fact, there are many things to say here, which positively indicate the gap between Chinese and foreign cuisine, and even indicate the relationship between people.
Let's take a look at the cultural differences between food and drinks. First of all, the round bottom pan we use is deeper than that used by foreigners, so naturally there will be more things inside than the pan. This is all because our round bottomed pot is mainly used to prepare food for most people, so it must be larger. Unlike foreigners' pots, they are only suitable for their own families or a few people.
From our round bottomed pot, it can fully utilize the temperature brought by the open flame to accelerate cooking speed. Moreover, the round bottomed pot can also increase the contact area between food and the bottom of the pot, so that food can naturally be cooked faster. However, this operation also reflects our habit of eating hot and cooked food. In fact, there is a very clear example below where it is necessary when cooking with a round bottomed pot. Food heats up quickly, and round bottomed pots come into contact with more flames than flat bottomed pots, so the temperature rises faster.
In fact, we have many ways to cook food. There are only 27 types of Chinese cuisine, which is the least. However, there are five popular cooking methods abroad. The difference lies in frying, grilling, roasting, boiling, and deep frying. There will be a lot of knowledge here. For Chinese cuisine, we are better at it compared to liquid foods and soft things. In this case, water is not easy to control for foreigners' cooking methods. Let's take a look at the most common food of foreigners, such as some bread, cake, steak, etc. They are basically baked or roasted, so there is little water in their food. So in Chinese cooking, we can see many cooking methods related to water, such as stewing, steaming, boiling, stewing, stewing, etc., which are basically related to water, including most of the food we usually eat is also related to water, such as noodles, dumplings, etc.
So, let's take a look at the foreigners' pots. Obviously, their pots cannot contain water and can only be used for frying, and it is not easy to get together in the pot, so for foreigners, they eat steak. This is very convenient. If all Chinese people use pan, if we want to cook a bowl of noodles, it will be difficult. So for foreigners, there is basically no noodles. Food paired with soup.
So, what do these two different jars think about the relationship between people? In China, when we celebrate holidays, we value reunion, so our pots must contain food that many people eat, otherwise they will come. During the reunion, it's impossible to make something that everyone eats. For foreigners, they only spend a few people at home during the festival, and the sense of belonging is not very strong, so it can be seen from the above. This shows the interpersonal differences between us and foreigners.
