Pay attention to your health
Try not to use detergent when cleaning the wok in the early stage. Every time after cooking, while there is still residual heat in the pot, pour in hot water, cook with fire, and finally rinse with hot water, which can protect the protective layer formed when we open the pot to the greatest extent. In addition, the iron pot can't be washed in the dishwasher, which will destroy the protective layer formed before.
Be careful not to pour cold water into the hot pot. Strong expansion and contraction will affect the protective layer on the surface of the iron pot. After cleaning, turn on a small fire to completely evaporate the water in the pot. Pour in oil and wipe with kitchen paper. Finally, turn off the fire and let it cool.
Development history
Zhangqiu's iron smelting tradition began in the Spring and Autumn Period. By the time of the Western Han Dynasty and the Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, there were 48 iron officials in China and 12 in Shandong, among which Zhangqiu had 1 Dongping Mausoleum.
In the Tang Dynasty, according to Forty-one Years of Tongzhi in Shandong Province, "Zhangqiu was the most prosperous place for ironware in the Tang Dynasty", blacksmiths also became the most concentrated occupation of Zhangqiu craftsmen. It used to be "one person makes a fire and the whole family strikes while the iron is hot;" From generation to generation, children and grandchildren continue. "
Zhangqiu blacksmith not only works locally, but also travels around Jiaodong, Shangji Luxi, Xialuxi and crosses Kanto. The number of people going out accounts for about three-fifths of the number of blacksmiths, so Zhangqiu blacksmiths are all over the world.
As a traditional wrought iron product, the production technology of iron pot has been continuously improved for thousands of years, and it has been very exquisite by the end of Qing Dynasty. It has a history of 100 years and has a profound cultural heritage.
