Very good! The bone soup in this casserole is cooked into a milky white color in one hour on medium-low heat. It took at least two hours to cook with a stainless steel pot before. Not only does it save time, but the soup is also more delicious. The size is also suitable, and one pot of soup is enough for 6 people to drink
