Iron pots are better than raw iron pots in terms of heat transfer and durability.

Cooked iron pots, after a period of use and cooking, will form a natural non-stick coating, which makes it less likely for food to stick to the bottom of the pot and reduces sticking and burning of food during cooking. This makes cooked iron pots more suitable for frying, stir-frying, deep-frying and other high-temperature cooking methods. Secondly, cooked iron pots and pans can slowly accumulate grease and form a rusty film during use, which helps to maintain the pot and prevent rust. Raw iron pans, on the other hand, require frequent maintenance and seasonal oven baking to prevent rusting.

Cooked iron pans last longer. Since cooked iron pans form a natural non-stick coating, they are relatively more durable as they avoid scratches and damage during use. However, cooked iron pans also have some shortcomings. Due to its heavier body, it can be more laborious to use; and cooked iron pots are relatively more expensive, usually more expensive than raw iron pots. Overall, iron pots are better than raw iron pots in terms of heat transfer and durability.

Put the iron pot into the preheated to 200 degrees Celsius in the oven, keep 30 minutes, to cool down and wipe off the excess oil, this can increase the durability of the iron pot.

2. Iron skillet transfers heat quickly and retains heat for a longer period of time. When cooking food, lower the fire appropriately to avoid food paste or overcooking. You can preheat the iron skillet when stir-frying and add cooking oil before adding ingredients, which can effectively prevent food from sticking to the pan.

3, the iron pot is easily eroded by acidic food, so try to avoid using acidic ingredients, such as lemon, tomato, etc.. If you need to use acidic ingredients, you should apply a thin layer of cooking oil inside the iron pot to reduce the corrosion of the iron pot.
