Stainless steel pots can be used for decocting Chinese medicine because the chemical properties of stainless steel are relatively stable and will not cause chemical reactions with the chemical components of Chinese medicine. However, if you have other options, it is best to use a traditional casserole for decocting Chinese medicine. Because the heat transfer is more even and the heat preservation is better, the fire does not change too much during the decoction process. Stainless steel is a new type of metal material, and its heat transfer is very fast. So it is placed on the stove soon after the water can boil, so if the fire is not well controlled, it is easy to decoct the medicine paste, or lead to excessive distribution and loss of some of the active ingredients. So stainless steel pots and traditional casserole compared, or choose the traditional casserole is better.
