About iron pot: Taking pig iron as raw material, adopting traditional casting technology and hand polishing in the later period, the molded teapot has both health preservation, appreciation and collection value.
Brief overview editing
In order to protect this technology, the iron pot has long been regarded as a traditional handicraft. This kind of work has excellent cast iron and traditional craftsmanship, and its classical iron muscle and simple style are considered to be purely Japanese creations. The discovery of 5 1 iron pot has attracted considerable attention in Japan.

Iron pots, in particular, are representatives of many families and are highly respected; In order to keep up with the changes of the times, we still cast works in line with modern life based on traditional crafts, not only practical kettles, but also artistic handicrafts with decorative functions: such excellent handicrafts can be preserved and used for a long time.
Preferred reason editing
Most people who make tea know that mountain spring water or well water is sweet, so people who are more particular will try to get this water back to make tea.
Some people have analyzed the water quality and found that the iron content in these two kinds of water is high, which exists in the form of divalent iron ions and does not touch the air.
The water boiled in iron pot contains ferrous ions, so it will have a mountain spring effect, which can effectively improve the taste and is very suitable for brewing all kinds of tea.
Manual editing
The material of iron pot has limited influence on the taste of boiled water and the release of ferrous iron. In the process of manual casting, the iron pot in the iron pot has undergone special acidification treatment to eliminate impurities in iron. Because pig iron is used as raw material, through casting and the author's different artistic attainments, the special culture of the old iron pot has been formed. The casting method of old Japanese iron pots is different from that of modern ones. At that time, the old iron pan used dewaxing technology. After each iron pan is cast, it must be broken before being taken out. Moreover, the old iron pot is handmade, so there will never be two identical pots. It has the global uniqueness of appearance, is a rare and precious antique in a hundred years, and is also a water vessel with artistic and practical value. You can use it as a daily boiler to keep healthy, or enjoy it as a work of art, or collect it as an antique.

Scientists have long discovered that iron is a hematopoietic element, and adults need 0.8- 1.5 mg of iron every day. Severe iron deficiency will affect their intellectual development. Experiments show that the iron pot can increase the absorption of iron when drinking water and cooking. Therefore, boiling water in an iron pot to make tea can release iron (ferrous) easily absorbed by the human body. Iron is a hematopoietic element. Proper drinking can not only supplement the iron needed by human body, but also prevent anemia. Japanese people like to cook and make tea with cast iron pots and pans. Pure iron pots will release ferrous ions (ferrous ions, Fe2+) continuously during the heating process, which will be absorbed by the human body when eaten. It is found that families who use iron pots have sufficient hemoglobin supplement for their children's development and blood. On the other hand, in Changshou village, most people still have the habit of using iron pots. Similarly, the data show that most people who use iron pots do not have anemia and iron deficiency. Iron is an important component of heme, myoglobin, important respiratory enzymes (cytochrome) and other enzymes that play an important role in transportation and cell absorption. It mainly exists in human body in the form of Fe2+. It can also be used as a cofactor of enzymes. Man can't directly absorb iron from metals. Generally speaking, iron mainly exists in the form of trivalent iron in food. Gastric acid can react with iron to generate ferrous ions, which are absorbed by the human body, so it is mainly absorbed in the form of ferrous ions in the upper end of duodenum and jejunum.

Editing of brewing characteristics
The boiled water of cast iron teapot is soft water, and its taste is round and sweet. Can be used for brewing drinks, and can effectively improve the taste. Not only can it be brewed, but it can also be heated continuously, with wider functions. Therefore, it is also a good choice for Europeans and Americans to brew flower and fruit tea and black tea, and it is also a good choice to brew Pu 'er tea, because brewing with cast iron pot can effectively remove the odor in tea and improve the taste.
Cast iron pot has strong thermal conductivity and thermal insulation, which is very suitable for brewing all kinds of tea. Iron pot is famous for its cooking method (burning charcoal at 800- 1000℃). Because of the pot burning, the surface of iron will become acidified iron. This thing is called acidified skin film (blue and purple with white). Because the acidified skin film is not directly mixed with iron and water, the boiled water will not have metallic feeling (also has antibacterial effect). However, in this state, iron will not dissolve out. However, in use, it is normal for the weak part of the acidified membrane to produce red scale. If the iron pot is used for a long time, when the red scale in the iron pot increases, white scale will be precipitated. The task of this scale is to prevent the unnecessary diffusion of red scales and purify the water.

Application mode
1. It's the first time to use the wok. First, put 5- 10g tea leaves into an iron pot net, add water and cook for about10min. In this way, tannin contained in tea and iron dissolved in iron pot will form a tannin film on the surface of iron pot, which will be even more unsightly. At the same time, the odor of the new pot can be removed. After boiling, pour out the water in the pot and repeat it for 2-3 times until the water quality is clear. It is suggested that the new pot should be used every day when it is used for the first time, so that it can be weighed quickly.
2. The suitable heat source in the iron pot is charcoal fire. Electric and gas stoves are used now, and induction cookers can be used instead.
3. For daily use, please fill it with water for 8 minutes to avoid water overflowing after boiling. Scarlet spots will appear on the inner wall of the iron pot in about 5 days, and white scales will appear in about 10 days. This is a normal phenomenon, as long as the water is not turbid, it will not affect drinking.
4. After each use, turn on a small fire to make the water in the pot fully evaporate, then dry it with a dry soft cloth to keep the pot dry, and don't let water accumulate in the pot overnight. Prevent the iron pan from rusting and affect its service life.
What should I do if the iron pot rusts?
1. Rust removal with rice washing water: iron pots, shovels, kitchen knives, iron spoons and other cooking utensils are soaked in strong scouring after use.
Rice washing water can not only prevent rust, but also remove rust.
2. Alum derusting: The iron pan can be derusting by the following methods: pour about 1 kg of clean water into the iron pan, add about 50g of alum, boil for10min, and then wipe it repeatedly with a brush or rag.
3. Vinegar rust removal: Vinegar is the most commonly used item for rust removal. When the iron pan is rusty, pour some vinegar into it and add water to boil it.
Brush while burning, rust can be removed quickly.
4. Dip the chopped onion, freshly cut potato chips or radish skin in a little salt, and grind the rusted place hard, so it will be easy to remove.
Except for the rust on the wok.
In fact, don't worry too much about the rust of the iron pot. Because rust in iron pot is not harmful to people's health, but only affects the taste of tea or water. If the rust stain is ugly, when we use the wok again after rust removal, we can smear the wok with cut ginger, or wipe the wok with the remaining tea residue in gauze, and soak the cleaned wok in concentrated rice washing water to dry, which can effectively prevent the wok from rusting.
Iron pot classification
Iron pot is divided into sand film and wax film iron pot.
Sand mold: refers to the mass production of a grinding tool, and a mold can produce hundreds of pots.
Wax mold: refers to a pot and a mold. Wax-mold iron pan has finer workmanship, higher cost, better technology and stronger technology.
Chinese maintenance
Reasons for using wok: ceramics are not easy to break, and the heat conduction speed is fast. The maintenance goal is to keep the wok as new. The sediment in the iron pan needs to be removed.
And rust.
Operation method:
1: Use the pulp of towel gourd and add water to peel off the rust spots in the pot, and repeat for many times until no rust falls off.
2. Tea with low fermentation degree is dominant. For example, put 5- 10g tea leaves in an iron pot and boil them in water.
About 10 minutes. Tannin contained in tea and iron dissolved in iron pot will form a film of tannin and iron on the surface of iron pot, which is even worse.
Embroider with heart; At the same time, the odor of the new pot can be removed. After boiling, pour out the water in the pot, and repeat it 2-3 times a day, about 15 days, until it is full.
Clear, ready to use.
Japan maintenance
Reasons for using iron pots: Although iron pots were introduced to Japan long ago, they have not been widely spread. By the middle of18th century, Japanese tea ceremony began to form a unified system.
In a sense, they found that the riverbed, the best source of tea, contains a lot of iron sand, and boiling water with iron pot can improve the quality of tea taste. because
/kloc-in the 0/8th century, a large number of iron pots in the Tang Dynasty were copied and formed their own style.
Operation method:
1:10g salt mixed with 200g vinegar (white vinegar is preferred), put it in a pot and cook it over low heat, but don't dry it.
2: 5 grams of salt, 200 grams of water, Undaria pinnatifida (or kelp) 15 grams, put in a pot and simmer. Salt promotes the growth of algae
It releases fucoidan and sodium alginate, which can form slurry in flowerpots. Fucoidan is used in modern medicine.
Found to inhibit and prevent the growth of cancer cells)
3: Add 250g of bamboo joints, bamboo roots and bamboo leaves, add water, and cook in a pot for 30 minutes.
4: After drying, you can boil water to make tea next time.
The iron pot will darken and brighten after being used for a long time, and it is easy to clean.
The appearance can often be wiped with a cloth, so that the luster of iron will gradually emerge.
Be sure to keep it dry after use to avoid cold water rushing into the hot pot and falling from a height.
At the same time, be depressed and don't dry-burn.
Because it is made of iron, it may break if it falls from a height and is strongly impacted. Please be careful!

Japanese wok editor
Brief introduction of Japanese style
The old wok originated in the middle period of Edo in Japan (1780' s), but it was more widely spread in Meiji period. Probably all works before and after Showa, that is, around 1925. Iron pots, with a history of about 80 years, are regarded as antiques in Taiwan Province Province, but the definition of so-called antiques in Japan may be pushed before Edo, which is about 1868. So for ordinary Japanese, iron pots are early household appliances. The commonly used material is pig iron, but the lid of the iron pot is mostly copper. Because the iron lid is easy to rust after steam fumigation, copper is used as the lid. Among the pot cover materials, there is a pot cover made of seven kinds of metal casting cars, commonly known as Qibao copper cover.
Historical origin
Japanese wok originated from the Tang and Song boilers in China. Japanese iron pots can be traced back to the edo period in Japan, which has been hundreds of years since. Today, in addition to the southern iron, there is still continuous creation and production. At present, Kyoto ironware, which has attracted much attention, was cut off during the Showa period due to the change of Japanese tea culture and war, and iron pot was very popular in Japan. Almost every household will use iron pots, and beautifully made iron pots are often used among relatives and friends as aristocratic gifts.
