Why do rural dishes cooked with firewood taste better?

Presumably, many people have had such an experience, that is, going back to their hometown in the countryside to eat a firewood meal on holidays, which feels particularly fragrant and delicious, and can also eat a bowl of rice more than in the city. I also have this experience now, because my hometown is still burning firewood. I went back to the National Day holiday a few days ago and ate the dishes cooked with firewood for a few days. The object also said yesterday that the chicken I cooked was not as delicious as the one I cooked in my hometown during the New Year. Why is this? Is the food cooked with firewood really better? In fact, it is reasonable to say that food cooked with firewood tastes better, but it is not entirely correct. Next, I will talk about why the food cooked by firewood can make people feel better.

First of all, the flame temperature of firewood is lower than that of gas and natural gas, but why do fried dishes taste better? That's because the flame of firewood is softer, not as strong as that of gas and natural gas, and the instantaneous temperature is lower. In many stewed, braised, stewed and boiled dishes, soft flame is more suitable, which can gradually release the fragrance and essence of food, while strong flame is easy to volatilize and lose the essence.

Followed by firewood stoves, firewood stoves and round-bottomed iron pots are used together. The pot is very deep, and 80% is around the stove. Therefore, the firewood stove can make the heated area of food larger and wider, instead of heating the bottom of the pot like a gas stove. The large heating area makes the food heated more evenly, so the fried food tastes better. The third is that firewood actually has a certain smell. Different firewood tastes different, and the smell of firewood will diffuse or even penetrate into the dish during the burning process, so when you eat it, you will feel the smell of firewood, which is not only fragrant, but also a childhood memory, awakening the familiar smell in your mind.

Although cooking with firewood is delicious, it doesn't mean that it is 100% delicious. Moreover, the firewood stove has some shortcomings, that is, it can't control the temperature as accurately as the gas stove. For some dishes that need to be fried quickly, the gas stove will actually be better. Finally, whether the dishes are fried well or not depends on personal skills. You see, chefs in other restaurants don't use firewood to cook, but they are still delicious.
