Tips for purchasing iron pots:

First, "see" whether the pot surface is smooth

See whether the pot surface is smooth, but it cannot be required to be as smooth as a mirror, due to casting Due to the craftsmanship, the iron pots have irregular shallow lines. Defects and small raised parts are generally made of iron and have little impact on the quality of the pot. However, small pits are more harmful to the quality of the pot, so you need to pay attention when purchasing.

Two "listen" to the uniformity of the thickness of the pot

Pots with uneven thickness are not good. When purchasing, you can turn the bottom of the pot upward, use your fingers to hold the concave center of the pot, and use a hard object to tap. The louder the pot sound and the greater the vibration, the better. In addition, a pot with rust spots does not necessarily mean that it is of poor quality. A pot with rust spots indicates that it has been stored for a long time, so that the internal structure of the pot can be more stable and less likely to crack when first used.
