Unlike the energy sources used in the past, such as coal or firewood, the teapot now needs to be boiled to eliminate the earthy smell and kiln smell. Most of the electric kilns used now are relatively clean, so as long as they are real purple sand, they can be used by washing the impurities in the teapot and scalding it with boiling water.
Extended data:
First of all, red sand pottery is resistant to burning.
In winter, the pot should not be explosive when placed on a warm fire. In those days, Su Dongpo made tea with a teapot made of purple sand pottery, and there was a poem that "the bamboo stove relaxed the wind and lifted the pot to meet". This is why people who pay attention to tea drinking at all times and in all countries especially like to use teapots.
Second, the way to open the teapot:
1, preheating
First, wash the newly bought purple teapot inside and outside with boiling water to remove the dust on the surface, then put the teapot in a pot without oil stains, add three times the height of water and soak it for two hours, so that the muddy smell and internal heat of the teapot will be removed.
2. Reduce fires
Put the tofu in the teapot and cook it for 1 hour. Gypsum contained in tofu has the function of reducing fire and can decompose the residual substances in the teapot. It is best to use old tofu.
