You must have heard: "The only thing between you and a chef is a good pot."

This is no everyday superstition.

If you want to cook well, a good pot is very important!

A good skill with the pot is the prerequisite for cooking delicious food~ There are so many pots on the market, you must ask: Are those pots on the market that cost thousands of dollars really worth the price?

Xiaojiu can definitely tell you: No!

Sometimes it’s not even as useful as a pot worth hundreds of dollars!

But after all, these pots have their own advantages. Only by understanding them clearly can you make a choice that suits you!

First, let’s take a look at three Internet celebrity pots that can easily cost thousands.

▼Let’s start with the enamel pot, which is responsible for the beauty of the pot world!

I don’t know since when, scrolling through Instagram and looking through the pictures of internet celebrities, you can see enamel pots everywhere.

So, what exactly is an enamel pot?

To put it bluntly, it is actually an enamel pot that is available at home!

The enamel pot has a strong sense of design, and its beautiful appearance alone has captured a large number of fans.

Who doesn’t like a pot that’s so beautiful you can hold it right on the table?

!

Not only that, it stores heat very well and can keep it warm for a long time with the lid on.

At this time, you can cook other dishes calmly without having to rush for time~ A good enamel pot can be used for more than 100 years, and it is a "grandmother's pot" that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, its price is also prohibitive.

but!

Here’s the key point!

Beautiful enamel pot, no!

through!

fall!

Xiaojiu can't count its advantages with ten fingers, but just one of them being easy to scratch and not resistant to falling can make me blacklist it completely!

Cast iron pots are also a great tool for posing for photos~ They are the only ones that can equal the beauty of enamel pots!

Not only that, it is also a great cooking tool and is loved by chefs!

Its advantages are obvious: even heating, good sealing, good heat preservation, and it is multi-purpose in one pot!

It can not only fry, fry, stew, stir-fry, but also grill and bake.

but!

What you may not know is that cast iron pans are really delicate!

From cooking to maintenance, you have to pay attention to everything, because if you are not careful, it will happen!

rust!

Got it!

Every time you use the pot, you must wipe off the water and apply oil. Even if you don't wipe away a little water or forget to apply oil, it will happen!

born!

rust!

Got it!

If the environment is humid, it will also rust!

If you want to clean it with cold water, wait for the pot to cool completely!

Knowing this, at least a sloppy star like Xiao Jiu cannot afford a cast iron pot... Friends who love watching Japanese dramas must have seen the snow flat pot!

As long as it involves cooking and eating, it will always appear frequently.

Yukihira hot pot is a pot commonly used in Japanese households for cooking.

The silver pot body and simple wooden handle conduct heat quickly and can be used on both induction cookers and open flames. It can quickly cook noodles, soup, blanch vegetables, etc.

The surface of the pot body has a concave and convex design, making it difficult for the pot to overflow.

There are two user-friendly spout designs on the edge of the pot. After cooking or washing the food, you can easily pour out the water while ensuring that the food remains completely in the pot.

Its disadvantage is that the wooden handle is easy to burn black. When I think of the expensive Xueping pot, the wooden handle will turn black after cooking a few times... I... Although the Internet celebrity pots are beautiful and photogenic, they all need careful maintenance.

It can't be bumped or rusted. It's not very cost-effective for lazy people.

Besides, aren’t the people of our country like the iron pots that make up the world?

After all, Xiaojiu grew up eating Chinese food that was fried quickly!

Next, let’s take a look at several common household pots~▼The most familiar thing to Chinese people is the iron pot!

It’s perfect for stir-frying Chinese cuisine!

Moreover, due to its stable chemical properties, it is called "the safest pot at present" ~ Some people say: Iron pot can replenish iron.

Xiaojiu wants to say NO to this rumor!

The "iron" dissolved from the iron pot can be absorbed and utilized by the human body very little. It is not as fast as eating pork to replenish iron... Some tips: Iron will rust.

Therefore, we must pay attention: do not hold food overnight, do not use it to make soup, and be sure to wipe off the water after washing.

Stainless steel pot Stainless steel is made of a mixture of iron and other metals. It is more durable than ordinary steel, has good corrosion resistance and high strength.

Therefore, stainless steel pots are also one of the most commonly used pots in modern households.

If you could only buy one pot, Xiaojiu would definitely choose it!

Superficially, I think that as long as it doesn’t rust and can withstand tossing, it’s a good pot!

What’s more, it’s an all-rounder that’s good at frying, roasting, and stewing!

Some people say that stainless steel pots will precipitate heavy metal manganese, causing Parkinson's disease.

Xiaojiu wants to say NO to this rumor!

my country's national standards have strict regulations on the manganese content of stainless steel products.

As long as it is a qualified product, it will not cause health damage, let alone Parkinson's disease.

Some tips: Stainless steel is made of a variety of metals, so we must pay attention: do not use it to cook Chinese medicine, do not use soda and other strong alkaline substances to wash pots, and do not use it to hold soy sauce, salt, vegetable soup for a long time.

wait.

Non-stick pans can be understood as an advanced version of ordinary pans.

Because there is a layer of coating on its inner surface, it plays an insulating role and avoids sticking to the pot to a large extent.

Therefore, it is still very popular among kitchen novices like Xiaojiu!
