2. You can add more water when stewing the meat, and you will make a lot of radish soup. If you can't finish it, you can use it to cook noodles the next day. The flavor of the radish soup will be absorbed by the noodles, making it especially delicious.
3. Unlike iron pots or stainless steel pots (metal pots such as iron pots or stainless steel pots are not suitable for storing stewed dishes for a long time, because the salt in the dishes will cause some damage to the pot body), the casserole itself has the function of preserving freshness. It is suitable for storing food for a long time, and has the same function as a bowl.
