"Cooking with pebbles? Could they explode?"
In the kitchen, Zhuang Yizhou and others gathered around the stones, occasionally fiddling with them, their eyes filled with curiosity.
It wasn't that no one had seen food cooked with stones before. The stone-cooked bread common in many Northern regions was made by baking dough on heated pebbles.
There were also sugar-roasted chestnuts, which were cooked by baking them amidst hot pebbles.
Additionally, dishes like stone pot rice and stone-slab grilled meat were also closely related to stones.
But in all these cases, the stones were used as tools or containers, not directly as an ingredient to cook a dish.
Yet, when Head Chef Xie had come earlier, he explicitly said these pebbles would be heated and used for cooking.
What if these heated pebbles shattered?
