The Principle Of The Simmering Tank

Principle of heat preservation

The principle of the simmering tank is mainly to use the principle of heat preservation, through the sealing of the tank, the use of the food itself moisture and heat for cooking. A simmering tank usually consists of an inner liner layer, which is used to hold food, and an insulation layer, which is mainly responsible for heat preservation. This design allows the pot to "simmer" the food by reducing the loss of heat, so that the food in the inner layer is kept at a higher temperature for a long time. The insulation material of the simmering pot is better than that of the general insulated pot, which can play a "simmering" effect, that is, the food can maintain the temperature just poured into the bottle for several hours. Although this cooking method is convenient, it may lead to the loss of nutrients in the food, especially in a long-term high temperature environment, the nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in the food are easily destroyed, thus reducing the nutritional value of the food.
