Stainless steel is able to cook Chinese medicine. 1. Advantage: heating speed is very fast. The nature of the metal in stainless steel is relatively stable, it is not easy to produce chemical reactions with Chinese medicine, and the heat transfer is relatively fast. In the process of high temperature decoction will not lead to the precipitation of metal ions, therefore, stainless steel pots can be used to cook traditional Chinese medicine, in the process of cooking traditional Chinese medicine should be stirred at regular intervals. 2. Disadvantages: Stainless steel is often unevenly heated, usually when boiling Chinese medicine, the bottom of the pot is too hot, which can easily lead to the phenomenon of drug sticking to the pot, especially when the Chinese medicine contains the ingredients of Colla Corii Asini or animal medicines, which may contain more proteins, and the use of stainless steel pots should be avoided as much as possible. Boiling Chinese medicine should be done under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner.
