The newly bought iron pot is easy to rust if it is not washed well for the first time. Don't wash it with water for the first time. Heat the pot first, pour some cooking oil (preferably vegetable oil) into the pot, then put some vegetables into the pot, and then wipe it evenly around the pot with a spatula. Later, pour some boiling water into the greasy pot and boil the tea. The pot brushed in this way is not easy to rust.
