Tips:

1. After preheating, cast iron pots are higher in temperature than regular pots. The ingredients are seared, and juices are sealed in immediately once it hits the pot. That’s why the skin is especially crispy while the soup made with it is especially rich in taste. You can fry the ingredients and make the soup in the same cast iron pot, saving you the trouble of cleaning more cookware.
