Not every family has a non-stick pan, and not everyone likes to use it. My family used an ordinary iron pot that my mother bought from the market for 20 yuan ten years ago. I have been using it to cook various dishes for my family for ten years. In fact, as long as the ordinary iron pot is cooked well, pay attention to maintenance and master a few cooking tips, it can also be non-sticky.
First, open the pot and maintain it frequently. Ordinary iron pots can also become "non-stick". Cooking at home all year round, a good pot is very important. But good doesn't mean expensive. In fact, ordinary pots, especially iron pots, can become non-stick as long as they are cooked and maintained, and there is no need to worry about the problem of coating falling off. It's no problem to use a pot for ten or twenty years for tens of dollars. The more you use, the better. It's healthy and affordable.
So how do you cook an ordinary iron pot?
Prepare a piece of pork suet. After buying a pot, wash off the industrial oil film on the surface with detergent and dry it with a soft cloth. Turn the stove down, put the pot on the stove and let it burn completely, then put lard on the pot wall. With heating, the pig's suet will gradually melt into lard, and the pot wall will become oily. Continue heating, and wipe with pig's plate oil for about 10 minute. Turn off the fire and let the lard soak in the pot overnight, and the pot will be fine. After each use, wash the pan body in time, dry it with a soft cloth, or put it on the stove to dry, so as not to stick to the pan when cooking.
If there is no pig suet, you can also use vegetable oil instead. Wash the pan and dry it, then pour in a proper amount of vegetable oil, rotate the pan to saturate the oil on the inner wall of the pan, and keep it on low heat for more than 5 minutes. Then pour out the oil, wash the pot with water again, dry it with a soft cloth, and repeat the above steps for 2-3 times.
Whether it is a new pot or a pot in use, you can use this method to open the pot for maintenance. However, it should be noted that it is not once and for all after boiling, and we need to pay attention to maintenance in the subsequent use process. There are the following points to note.
How to raise pots in daily use;
① After the wok is used up, it must be cleaned with clear water or warm water in time, then put it on the stove to dry, or dry it with a towel. Never leave water in the pot, or the iron pot will rust and stick to the pot.
② Don't wash the pot with cold water immediately after frying. It is best to wait for the temperature of the pot to drop, or wash it directly with warm water.
(3) Don't brush the pot with steel balls, especially the iron pot.
4 Stews, soups, etc. It is best not to use iron pots. Avoid long cooking. If you cook a dish for a long time, such as braised pork, you'd better cook it again to avoid the iron pan becoming sticky.
⑤ When the wok is not used for a long time, it should be thoroughly brushed and inverted after being dried inside and outside the furnace, so that the wok is not easy to rust and become astringent.
In fact, the iron pot will stick to the pot more or less after being used for a period of time. At this time, simply open the pot again.
To sum up, when cooking, the anti-sticking pan has the skills of cooking utensils, food processing and some tips in the cooking process, each of which is very effective, but in fact, in the daily cooking process, these skills are combined with one or more to achieve better results. For example, do a good job of cooking and maintaining the pot on weekdays. Before cooking, heat and cool some ingredients that are easy to stick to the pot, and the pot is very slippery. Pour a little more oil into the pot, then add the ingredients, and turn them over after the bottom of the ingredients is set. This whole process generally doesn't happen.
Therefore, in the daily cooking process, we only need to pay attention to the maintenance of the pot, the handling of ingredients, and the cooking skills of ingredients at the beginning of the pot. Even an ordinary pot, we can cook without sticking to it.
