That strange smell

A few weeks ago, my mom gave me one of her AMC pot to cook in. Its one of those stainless steel pot that can do amazing stuff if you keep it in good condition. It can cook vege just by putting the said vege in it, sprinkle a few drops of water and close the lid. Put it on top of the fire and watch the indicator reached a certain point and your food is cooked.

So that day, she came over and pass it to me. She tied the lid to the pot with a string to keep it from falling out. I took the pot and put it in the cupboard.

Fast forward to this week. Everytime I opened the cupboard, there is a strange smell coming from it. I searched for the source of the smell but there isn’t any thing inside the cupboard except empty pots and pans, or so I thought.

Just now, I took out the AMC pot to use to steam some sweet potatoes. Imagine to my surprise I found that the pot was not empty. My mom had made some coriander pork inside and she didn’t tell me when she pass it to me.

The cooked pork was in the pot all along for the past few weeks. The thing about the AMC pot is that the lid is quite secure so very little smell leaked out most of the time.

Well, I threw away the few weeks old pork and cleaned the pot. Now its as good as new. The mystery of the strange smell has been solved, I hope.
