Don't use the newly bought iron pot directly. Boil after cleaning, so that the iron pot can be used better and the service life of the iron pot can be prolonged.

The first step is to clean the new wok, because there will be some oil stains on the surface of the wok during the production process. Wash with detergent, but be careful not to scrub with steel ball for the first time.

Step 2, the clean wok begins to boil. Heat the wok first, not too big, and dry it with low or medium fire.

Step 3, prepare a piece of fat with skin, put the pigskin down into the pot, heat it slowly with low fire, and wipe the pot surface with pork to ensure that every place in the pot is cleaned. When the lard is boiled, the fat can be taken out.

Step 4, pour the lard out of the pot, then rinse the iron pot with hot water, and repeat the process of step 2 and step 3 for 3-4 times.

Step five, finally wash it, then dry it, then coat it with a layer of cooking oil and leave it overnight.

The above boiling is completed. If the new pot is cooked like this, it should be maintained like this after a long time. Take good care of the iron pot. A good wok can last 10 years, 20 years or even longer.

The principle of boiling:

No matter what material, there is a certain gap, even if we can't see it with the naked eye, it still exists. Boiling is to let the oil invade the gap of the pot and then form an oil film on the surface of the pot.

The oil film can prevent the pan from rusting and sticking. And the oil film is different from the coating. As long as the coating of ordinary non-stick pan is destroyed, it loses the essence of non-stick pan. Nowadays, many non-stick pans are coated, and the essence of coating is actually plastic film. ?
