After the iron pot is built, many impurities will be left on the surface of the pot. In order to prevent the pot from contacting with air before use, there will be a thin protective film on the iron pot. Removing impurities and protective film before use is called boiling. If the new pot doesn't open well, it will greatly shorten the service life of the pot. ▽

For an iron pot that rusts after only one use, wash the rusty brush with steel balls first, and then start the pot again. ▽

Take a piece of fat pork the size of a soap bar, put it in a medium-hot pot, and wipe the inner wall of the pot in circles from the inside out so that the grease can be fully and evenly coated on the surface of the pot. ▽

After rubbing a few times, the pork will turn black, indicating that the impurities on the pot have been fully absorbed. ▽

Cut off the discolored layer of pork, repeat the method just now for two or three times, and when the pork no longer discolors, pour out the black oil in the pot. ▽

Finally, coat the pot with a thin layer of vegetable oil to protect the pot, so that the pot is cooked. ▽

Iron pot maintenance

The pot should not only be opened well, but also be carefully raised when using it. Generally, after a long time of use, the protective oil film will fall off, and cooking is easy to paste the pot, so we must take good care of the pot. ▽

Put the pot on the stove, pour a pot of water and boil it to remove the oil and stains on the surface. ▽

After the dirty things are boiled, dry them with paper towels, put them on the stove, brush them with a layer of vegetable oil and heat them for 2-3 minutes. ▽

Usually after washing the pot, dry all the water and put it on the stove, not next to the sink to prevent the iron pot from rusting. ▽

In addition, it is best not to cook vegetable soup in iron pan, so as to avoid oxidation reaction between vegetables and iron pan and make the oil film disappear. ▽

Boiling and maintenance of non-stick pan

The non-stick pan is also boiled with lard, and it only needs to be coated with lard once. It has its own protective film to prevent it from being born, so you don't need to cook the pot with a big fire, just cook it with a medium fire. ▽

Never boil water in a non-stick pan, otherwise it will easily damage the protective film. ▽

When cooking with a non-stick pan, do not use metal kitchen utensils such as shovels, but use wooden shovels to avoid damaging the surface of the non-stick pan; When cleaning the non-stick pan, use a rag and sponge instead of steel balls, which will last for a long time. ▽
