How to prevent iron pan from rusting
1, after washing the pot, put the pot on the gas stove to dry, and put the shovels for cooking together. If it is too hot, the shovel will dry, which can effectively prevent the iron pan from rusting.
2. Don't use the pot for a long time, put some oil on the pot, then wash the pot with a soft rag, and hang it in a cool and ventilated place after washing to avoid direct sunlight.
3. Try not to boil water or soup in an iron pot.
In order to avoid the disappearance of the edible oil layer on the surface of the iron pan and protect it from rust. If you must use it, put some oil on it after use. 4. Don't use the spatula too hard, and avoid using hard objects such as steel balls to brush the pot vigorously.
5, iron pots are easy to rust, and it is not appropriate to hold food overnight.
6. Myrica rubra, hawthorn, begonia and other acidic fruits should not be cooked in an iron pan. Acidic fruit contains fruit acid, which will react with iron to produce low-iron compounds, which may be poisoned after people eat it.
What kind of wok is of good quality?
1, the pan surface should be smooth, but not "smooth as a mirror". Because of the casting process, all iron pots have irregular shallow lines, which is not a problem.
2. Check for defects. There are two kinds of defects: small bumps and pits. The raised part of the small bump is generally iron, which has little effect on the quality of the pot. If the bulge is on the concave surface of the pot, it can be removed with a grinding wheel to avoid blocking the spatula. Small pits are complicated and harmful to the quality of bowls.
3, the pot is thick and thin, and the thinner is better. Some iron pots may be thick on one side and thin on the other, which is caused by the dislocation of models. This pot with uneven thickness is not good. When buying, you can turn the bottom of the pot upside down, put your finger against the concave center of the pot and knock it with a hard object. The louder the pot rings, the greater the vibration, the better. This method can also be used to check whether there are cracks in the pot. Cracks usually appear at the edge of the pot.
Because it's the thinnest besides that. Daily iron pot maintenance method
1, many people know that before using a new pot, you should put a little oil to heat it and shake it to ensure that the surface of the pot is free of oil. Then leave it for half a day or even a day before you start cooking. The purpose of this is to form a protective film on the surface of the iron pan to isolate the iron from the air.
Prevent rust. 2. Wash the wok in time after use, and scrub the food residue with a rag. Some burnt starch residue will stick to the wok, which is difficult to clean, so we can soak it in clear water for about 20 minutes before scrubbing it, which will be much easier. The purpose of this is to maintain hygiene and clean food residues without rusting in the iron pot.
3. After washing the iron pan, dry the water stains on the surface of the iron pan with a dry rag or heat it to dry it to ensure the surface of the iron pan is dry. If there is water on the surface of the iron pan, even a little bit will leave a small piece of rust. So it is very important to ensure that the surface of the wok is dry.
4. After the iron pan is washed and dried, it should be hung up or inverted on the stove, so that even if there is water, it will not stay on the surface of the iron pan. If placed along the stove, the wok will be wet by moisture or the water in the kitchen will stay at the bottom of the wok and rust after a few hours.
The last step of iron pan maintenance is to keep the kitchen ventilated, open the kitchen window or ensure that there is a vent, so that water vapor will not stay in the iron pan under the condition of air convection.
It won't rust the wok. A small coup to repair the hole in the iron pot
Many families have woks, but what if there is a hole in the wok? We can't throw it away and buy a new one. That's a waste. Here are some tips for repairing the hole in the iron pan.
1, egg white
If there is a hole in the iron pot, you can find a piece of broken casserole, grind it into fine powder, make it into thick mud with egg white, make it into a sand mud cake slightly larger than the hole in the pot, and then burn it on the fire for about two minutes, and the sand mud will be integrated with the iron pot.
2. lard
Mud the clay with lard and fill up the leak. The more it burns, the more it burns.
3. Straw ash
Put the grass ash on a small piece of cloth, then pour the molten lead on the grass ash, fill the hole in the iron pot, and press a little oil with a cloth ball pot, and it will be successful.
4. Low carbon steel wire
Drill through with a bit slightly larger than the sand hole, and see the thickness of the drilling edge. If it is very thin, drill it through with a bigger drill bit, then put an iron wire with the same diameter, which is about 2-2.5 mm longer than the thickness of the iron pot, into the hole, with both sides of the pot exposed above 1mm, and pad it on a slightly larger hard object, such as a flat-headed iron bar against the iron wire head, and rivet both ends of the iron wire with a hammer. In fact, it is to punch a rivet where there is a sand hole. Pay attention to using rivets to get close to the wok material, and don't use aluminum wires and copper wires, otherwise the galvanic cell phenomenon will be formed and it will soon break down.
5. Pig liver
Slice the pork liver and stick it on the outside of the leaking part of the iron pot. After a fire, it will be very strong. It can be used to steam dry food, make porridge and cook, but it can't be used to make pancakes or stir-fry.
6. Cotton is made by putting edible oil, cotton and fine lime powder together and beating them with a hammer, so that the three raw materials are bonded together. This adhesive is used to stick the cracks and holes in the iron pan and can be used after drying.
