As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people." Three meals a day is not only for survival, but also to satisfy the appetite as much as possible. Only by eating delicious food can you feel full of happiness in life.

If you want to make delicious food, you must not only have good ingredients, but also have handy kitchen utensils for cooking. If you add superb cooking skills, it would be even better.

The kitchens in many people’s homes can be described as a dazzling array of pots and pans. There are so many pots and pans, many of which are unused. In fact, you don’t need too many kitchen utensils in the kitchen. These 5 types of pots are enough. The rest are a waste of money and take up space.

Our Chinese cooking habits are frying, deep-frying, and stir-frying. A good wok can not only make cooking easier, but also improve the taste of the food.

Most household woks are made of iron. Because the iron pot body is relatively thin and conducts heat quickly, it is very suitable for stir-frying.

The dishes stir-fried in an iron pot not only taste good, but also lock in nutrients, making cooking more efficient. Moreover, the iron pot has no coating, so there is no need to worry about the coating peeling off and affecting human health.

Iron pots are divided into: wrought iron pots and cast iron pots

Pig iron pots are heavier and more difficult to carry.

For housewives, wrought iron pots are more practical. It is relatively easy to carry, even if you want to shake the spoon, you can do it easily.

Compared with cast iron pots, wrought iron pots have thinner walls, heat up quickly, and have better thermal conductivity. Green vegetables fried in a wrought iron pot are crisper and more refreshing.

The wrought iron pot needs to be "opened"

When the wrought iron pot is used for the first time, it needs to be opened. There is no trouble in opening the pot. After washing it with warm water, place it directly on the gas stove to dry it. However, use lard or pig skin and wipe it repeatedly on the pot. Every corner should be wiped, and it should be wiped three or four times.

After wiping, wait for about 20 minutes and then rinse with clean water. Then put the pot on the gas stove, turn on a low heat, and apply a layer of peanut oil. Don't rush to use it after applying it, leave it overnight.

After "opening" the wrought iron pot, it will be less likely to stick to the pot when cooking.

Compared with rice cookers, many people prefer to use electric pressure cookers for cooking. Since my family bought an electric pressure cooker, the rice cooker and pressure cooker have been "shelved".

The pressure cooker and rice cooker are combined into one, which frees up space for one electrical appliance and effectively improves space utilization. My UFO electric pressure cooker has two inner pots made of different materials, one is specially used for cooking rice, and the other is specially used for stewing soup.

The materials of the two inner pots are different. When used, the materials of the inner pots will be different. When cooking, the machine will automatically identify the inner pot. The heat used for cooking rice and cooking is different.

Use an electric pressure cooker to simmer the rice under slight pressure, giving it a fragrant and soft texture that is memorable. Use the soup function of the pressure cooker to make the soup thicker and not greasy.

Use this electric pressure cooker to make soup. The soup is really thick, tender and delicious. Different from traditional pressure cookers, during the soup making process, you can open the lid with one click, avoiding the situation of stewing in one pot, and making the color and taste of the ingredients more wonderful.

In addition to its powerful functions and good effects, this rice pressure cooker also has a very stylish and elegant appearance. The touch display screen is very technological, fully functional and easy to operate.

With 4L of space, the rice cooked with it has clear grains, which is enough to feed a family of four or five people.

In addition to cooking, you can also steam cakes, braised pork ribs, sauced beef, sauced pig's trotters, etc. It can be done.

As an office worker, it is very difficult to get up every morning and I have no time to get up and make breakfast. Since I got this electric steamer, I can prepare the ingredients in advance every night, put them in the steamer, make a reservation, and have a hot breakfast the next morning.

The steamer is an essential pot in the home. It is usually used to steam steamed buns, steamed fish, steamed eggs, etc. Ordinary steamers can only steam one dish at a time, which really affects efficiency.

The electric steamer my family bought can be stacked up to 3 levels and can steam 3 dishes at the same time. Each floor has a capacity of 4L, and the three floors have a capacity of 12L. Staple food, meat dishes, and vegetarian dishes can be put into the pot together to satisfy different tastes and improve cooking efficiency.

Compared with ordinary steamers, in addition to adding two layers of space, it also has intelligent operations such as dry-burn warning, water-adding prompts, and automatic power-off when the water is dry.

This steamer uses a transparent cover, which not only looks tall, but also allows you to observe the changes in the food inside. Whether it's appearance or functionality, I'm very satisfied.

Casserole is made of clay, which can absorb and store heat during cooking. Cooking in a casserole can keep the temperature in the pot stable and prevent the bottom of the pot from burning. Moreover, it can ensure that the taste of the ingredients is more delicate.

Use a casserole to cook porridge or vegetables. Turn on the heat as low as possible to keep the inside of the casserole boiling slightly. This kind of slow-cooked food will be soft and delicious when eaten.

The price of a casserole is not too expensive, and one casserole can last for several years. So when buying a casserole, don’t be too stingy.

Because poor quality casseroles will dissolve a small amount of lead when cooking acidic food, this substance is harmful to the body.

Moreover, inferior casseroles are relatively fragile. The casserole is in a hot state. Once it comes into contact with cold water, it may crack or even explode. For the sake of your health and safety, don’t be greedy for petty gains.

It is very necessary to have a casserole at home. It can be simmered over low heat, used for soups and dishes, and it tastes great.

In addition to steaming, deep-frying, and stir-frying, we also usually cook fried eggs, fried steak, pancakes, etc. At this time, the small flat-bottomed frying pan comes in handy. The small flat-bottomed frying pan heats up quickly and has a good heat preservation effect.

It is particularly practical when preparing breakfast and is very suitable for families with children at home. Small frying pans with a flat bottom are relatively light and can be easily picked up even by children cooking. Convenient to cook fried eggs and steak by "turning the spoon".

The small flat-bottomed frying pan is very durable, easy to clean, fast in cooking, and takes up little space. It is recommended that you really have one at home.

The space in the kitchen is limited, and it also needs to store various pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Free up space in the kitchen as much as possible and don't buy unnecessary kitchenware. This not only saves money, but also avoids taking up space.

There are 5 essential pots in the kitchen: wrought iron pots, electric pressure cookers, electric steamers, casseroles, and small flat-bottomed frying pans, which can meet various needs such as stir-frying, boiling, steaming, and frying.
