VI. Food Safety and Nutrition of Nutritional Hot Pot
During the preparation of a nutritional hot pot, due to the multiple steps involved and the primary cooking methods of boiling and scalding, it is essential to pay attention to hygiene and strictly prevent food poisoning. The following points should be followed:
First, scientifically pair ingredients and be mindful of food incompatibilities to avoid discomfort.
Second, master the art of scalding food, ensuring it is neither undercooked nor overcooked. Undercooked food cannot effectively kill pathogens or eggs carried by the food, making it easy to cause illness. Overcooked food can destroy vitamins and amino acids, and it may also lose its original freshness.
Third, avoid excessive consumption, especially at buffets. Limit the intake of beer and beverages; do not overeat just because it is considered a bargain.
Fourth, do not store soup and dishes in metal hot pots for extended periods, as the surface coating may react with the broth, producing certain compounds that can cause acute poisoning.
Fifth, pay attention to safety to prevent burns from the hot pot and protect the mouth, esophagus, and stomach lining from scalding food.
Sixth, the flavor should not be too strong. Over-spicy food can numb the lips and tongue, making it difficult to taste even if there is flavor. Over-spicy food can also irritate the stomach lining, potentially leading to stomach cancer and other unexplained skin conditions.
Seventh, consume food according to your physical condition, targeting specific needs. For those with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, gout, and gastrointestinal diseases, it is particularly important to opt for low-oil, light flavors, avoiding excessive saltiness, spiciness, or intensity.
