Brilio.net - It turns out that clay pots are still the favorite in many people's kitchens. Although there are many modern pots, this one still doesn't want to lose its popularity. Some people still faithfully use clay pots for cooking. One of the main reasons for using this type of pot is the taste it produces.
They say that food cooked using clay pots tastes different, more savory and has a more kicking aroma. This is because clay pots have the ability to store heat longer and distribute heat evenly.
So, the spices can penetrate deeper into the food. Apart from that, clay pots can also make the texture of food more stable, especially for dishes that need to be boiled for a long time, such as curry.
However, sometimes there are those who are too lazy to use a clay pot because the smell of the earth makes them uncomfortable. If not removed immediately, the aroma of clay can contaminate food and drinks cooked in the clay pot.
Well, a netizen on Instagram named @keluargabapakarsoono shared a powerful trick to make a clay pot free from odor using 1 kitchen ingredient. After investigating, it turns out the woman in the video only used tea.
"Because yesterday I just bought a clay pot, so we have to do a ritual first before using it for cooking," he said as quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @keluargabapakarsoono, Monday (12/8).

The next step is to turn on the stove. Then put the pan on the stove. Next, fill it with water until full and then add the brewed tea. Boil and let it boil for a few minutes.
