Matters needing attention
1. Heat it gradually, and don't burn it suddenly on the fire to avoid bursting.
2. After the dishes are cooked, when the casserole is away from the fire, frame the pot with sawdust, so that the heat can be evenly dissipated and cooled slowly to avoid cracking. You can also make an iron ring according to the size of the casserole. After the casserole is fired, put it on the iron ring, so that its bottom does not directly touch the ground, and naturally cool, which can make the casserole last longer.
3. Don't cook in a casserole. Usually use casserole to cook soup and vegetables, because the oil temperature of cooking is very high. After the oil in the pot is heated, it is suddenly put into cold dishes, and the pot is easy to explode. Therefore, when cooking, you should add water first and then move it to the fire. If the pot is boiled first and then drained, it is easy to explode. When using casserole to make soup and stew meat, you should first put water into the casserole, then put the casserole on the fire, first with slow fire, then with strong fire.
4. When putting the casserole from the top of the fire, put it on a dry wooden board or straw mat, and never put it on a ceramic tile or concrete floor.
5. Don't cook sticky food in casserole.
6. Don't dry burn it, and don't wash it with water when it is still very hot, which is easy to crack.
7. Don't wet the bottom of the pot. Try not to wet the bottom of the pot when washing, and pay attention to confirm whether the bottom of the pot is dry when getting angry. Wipe the water outside the casserole before each use.
8. Casseroles handed down from Chinese medicine should not be used for stews and soups. Similarly, casseroles used for stewing and stewing food should not be used for frying traditional Chinese medicine.
Maintenance skills
1. The casserole just bought needs to be treated, for example, boiled with rice washing water, which can prevent the casserole from bursting in use.
2. When using the casserole for the first time, you need to brush off many small sand grains on the inner wall of the casserole with a small brush to prevent the sand grains from falling into the food.
The newly bought casserole often leaks water because there are many sand holes. When the new pot is used for the first time, it is best to make noodle soup or porridge. Don't brush the pan first after eating, put it on the fire, let the batter in the pan dry, plug the tiny sand holes on the wall of the pan, and then wash it. So that the casserole won't leak.
4. Don't quench when cooking. If water needs to be added, it should also be heated to avoid cold and hot shocks and reduce its service life.
Handle with care, don't "hit hard", after all, it is a local product, and bumping will make it "fall to pieces".
Casseroles are pottery products, which can keep the color, fragrance and taste of food well. Many people like to use it to make soup and stew. However, Zhang Kan, a senior engineer of the National Daily-use Ceramics Quality Inspection Center, believes that the casserole is easy to be damaged and even prone to accidents if used improperly. Therefore, when using casserole, we must pay attention to the following points:
First, the enamel of the casserole contains a small amount of lead, so it is best to soak and boil the newly bought casserole with 4% vinegar water first, which can remove most harmful substances. If the inner wall of the casserole is colored, it is not suitable for storing wine, vinegar, acidic drinks and food.
Second, before using the new casserole, it is best to boil it with rice washing water, so as to block the tiny holes in the casserole, prevent water seepage and prolong its service life. Dry the water outside the casserole before each use. If you find that there is little water when cooking, you should add some warm water in time. Never spill or boil the soup in the pot. Don't cook the casserole in an empty pot, and don't suddenly put the cold pot on a strong fire to avoid the casserole bursting.
Third, casserole is not suitable for stir-frying and cooking sticky food.
Fourthly, the temperature of using casserole is different from that of using other types of pots. Generally, the cooking time of iron pot is big fire-slow fire-big fire, while the cooking of casserole is slow fire first, then big fire, and after the soup is boiled, it is finally cooked with slow fire. After cooking, the casserole should be placed on a dry wooden board or straw mat, never on a ceramic tile or concrete floor, or the casserole will burst when it suddenly gets cold, which will easily burn people.
