Everyone says that if you want to make a delicious meal, you must have a good pot.
Although I don't cook a lot, I have all kinds of pots and pans at home.
Nowadays, though, most families prefer to use non-stick pansBecause when you stir-fry in a non-stick pan, it won't stick to the bottom of the pan, and it's particularly lightweight.
Although the iron pot is cheap, it is very heavy, and there will be some inconvenience when stir-frying.
But after I used the non-stick pan for a while, I still changed the non-stick pan handle back to the "iron pan".
Let me share with you my real feelings about replacing a non-stick pan with an iron pan.
Now there are many types of pots and pansI believe that many people don't know how to choose.
The most used pots and pans are non-stick pans and iron pots, so let's talk about the differences between these two pots in detail.
1. Material
Non-stick pan:It is made of lightweight, thermally fast aluminum alloy or stainless steelNon-stick pans are relatively lightweight, so they are suitable for kitchen novices or female friends.
Iron pot:Made of pig or wrought ironWhereas, the iron pot is comparatively heavier and requires some skill and strength to master.
2. Function
Non-stick pan:The biggest feature is that it is non-stick, and the surface has been specially treatedWhen cooking, it will not stick to the surface, and it is usually easy to clean, just rinse it with clean water.
Iron pot:The advantages of iron pans are mainly uniform heat transfer and wear resistanceAnd it is used for a long time, as long as the pot is boiled well, there will be basically no problem of sticking to the pan.
I've always used a non-stick pan, but recently switched to an iron pan.
Mainly because when I used a non-stick pan, I found that there were a lot of drawbacks.
Although the non-stick pan does not stick when stir-frying, it is mainly because the non-stick pan has a coating inside.
This coating has been used for a long timeBasically, it will be worn out, and generally after a year or so, the non-stick pan will stick slightly to the pan.
And after the non-stick pan coating falls off, there will be many hazards.
Some of the chemical ingredients inside the nonstick panWhen stir-frying, it gets into the food, which is also harmful to our health.
The iron pot didn't have so many problems, so I replaced the non-stick pot at home with an iron pot.
However, whether you use an iron pan or a non-stick pan, you will face the problem of cleaning.
If it is not cleaned thoroughly,The non-stick pan coating may fall off, and the iron pan may turn black and yellow.
Therefore, no matter what kind of pot and pan you use, you must clean it regularly.
I just mentioned it,Pots and pans must be cleaned regularly to keep them clean.
I thought it was easy to clean the potsBut I found that many families now use the wrong way to brush pots.
Let's share my usual way of brushing the pot, you can try it.
1. Detergent + sponge rub
Many people use steel wool to brush pots, but it is best not to do this.
Because the steel wool material is relatively hard, brushing the pot with it may cause the coating of the pot to be scratched.
When everyone cleans the pots and pans,You can try the sponge rub, which has strong cleaning power and will not scratch the coating of the stainless steel pot.
When cleaning pots and pansSqueeze an appropriate amount of dish soap into the sponge rub and brush the pot.
This sponge wipe is very soft and cleans very well, no matter how stubborn the oil stain is, it will be wiped off as soon as you wipe it.
It is made of antibacterial material, which is more durable than ordinary sponge wipes, and can be replaced once a month or two.
2. Squeeze brush pot brush
When brushing the potIf you don't want to damage the coating of the pot and don't want to get your hands dirty
You can try this squeeze brush brush.
This squeeze brush has a strong cleaning power and an ingenious design.
The front end is the design of a brush headThe tail is accompanied by a bottle of detergent.
To use, add some detergent to the back end and gently squeeze the bottle.
The detergent will then be pressed on the inside of the panThen simply brush with the brush head to dissolve the dirt inside the pot.
Clean the pots and pans this wayNot only is it clean and hygienic, but you don't have to worry about the pot coating being damaged.
3. Kitchen decontamination wipes
Generally after cookingIf you want to remove the dirt from the inside of the pot, you can also prepare a kitchen decontamination wipes.
This kitchen decontamination wipes are mainly addedDissolves enzymes and cleaning factors that specialize in dissolving all kinds of stubborn dirt.
Take out one and simply wipe the oil stains inside and outside the potIt easily removes stubborn dirt and inhibits the growth of bacteria.
Whether it's a stainless steel pot or an iron pot we useYou can basically wipe it clean with this cleaning wipe.
