2. The raw wok can't be used immediately after being bought. Be sure to use fat meat and pineapple skin, and stir-fry in medium fire oil. Don't pour off the oil after you finish it, and moisten it for a day or two. Don't use it to boil water or steam things for a month or two; After washing the pot every day, be sure to dry the water. Don't scrub the bottom of the pot if you have nothing to do, deliberately let it accumulate some dirt so that it can withstand the experience of fire and oil explosion in the future; Cook often so that the pot won't rust. It is only burned once every ten days and a half months, and even the best iron pot will rust.
3. before using the new iron pot, remove its odor. You can add salt to the pot, fry the salt until yellow, then add water and oil to the pot and bring it to a boil. To remove the fishy smell, you can put a little tea in the pot and add water to boil it. If you want to get rid of the iron smell, you can put some sweet potato skin and cook it.
4. Iron pots rust easily and are not suitable for overnight food. At the same time, try not to use an iron pot to make soup, so as to avoid the oil layer on the surface of the iron pot disappearing and rusting. When you brush the pan, you should also use detergent as little as possible to prevent this "protective layer" of cooking oil from being brushed off. After brushing the pot, try to clean the water in the pot to prevent rust. If there is slight rust, it can be cleaned with vinegar.
5. Myrica rubra, hawthorn, begonia and other acidic fruits should not be cooked in an iron pan. Because these acidic fruits contain fruit acid, they will react with iron and produce low-iron compounds, which may be poisoned after people eat them. Don't use an iron pot when cooking mung beans, because the tannin contained in the bean skin will react with iron to form black iron tannin, which will turn the soup of mung beans black and affect the taste and digestion and absorption of the human body.
6. Rust removal: ① Pour 20g vinegar into a hot iron pan, brush it with a hard brush while burning, then pour out the dirty vinegar and wash it with clear water. (2) Put a little salt in the pot, fry until brown, then wipe the pot, brush it clean, then boil it with water and 1 tablespoon oil, then pour it out and wash it clean.
7. Tea residue is rust-proof. Iron pots are prone to rust spots when they are wet, and it is difficult to remove them. You can wipe the iron pot with a gauze bag filled with tea residue to prevent the iron pot from rusting.
8. Taomi water is rust-proof. If iron cookers such as kitchen knives, scrapers and iron spoons are cleaned and soaked in high-concentration rice washing water, they can be prevented from quickly producing rust spots, because rice washing water will add a protective film to them.
9. Rust spots on the pot are not necessarily of poor quality. The brightness and quality of the pot have little effect. Because the substance that makes the pot shine is graphite. The purpose of graphite in casting is to use it as a refractory coating. After the pot is cast, graphite can objectively prevent the pot from rusting. Pots with rust spots indicate a long storage time. The longer the pot is stored, the better, because the internal structure of the pot can be more stable and it is not easy to crack when it is used for the first time.
