How to clean the stainless steel pot when it is scorched and black?A scientific guide for kitchen experts
Stainless steel pans are the right hand man in our kitchen, but once they are charred and blackened, they can be a big headache for us. Don't worry, today we're going to talk about how to clean these "uninvited guests". Let's explore the mysteries of stainless steel pans and give your kitchen a new look!
1. Prepare tools and materials.
Before we start cleaning, we need to prepare some tools and materials. First of all, we need a stainless steel pot and, of course, the common white vinegar, water, scouring pads, sponges, etc. Remember, we need to keep our tools and materials clean to avoid secondary contamination.
Second, scientific cleaning steps.
Cooling the stainless steel pan: First, we need to let the charred and blackened stainless steel pan cool down. Remember, do not rinse a hot pot directly in cold water, as this may cause the pot body to deform. The best way to do this is to wait for the pan to cool naturally.
Soak & Soften: Place the cooled stainless steel pot in a large container and add enough white vinegar to cover the burnt part. White vinegar is an effective cleanser that softens the charred substance. Cover and let the pan soak in white vinegar for about 20 minutes.
Scouring pad and sponge cleaning: Use a scouring pad or sponge to gently wipe the soaked pan. You will notice that the charred black matter begins to fall off. Continue wiping until all the charred matter has been removed.
Rinse & Check: Rinse the stainless steel pot thoroughly with clean water to ensure that there is no residual white vinegar and other impurities. Check that the pot is completely clean, and if necessary, use a scouring pad and water again to clean it.
Polishing: In order to restore the luster of the stainless steel pan, we can use a polishing cloth or polishing agent for polishing. This can not only make the pot body brighter, but also enhance its rust resistance.
3. Tips to prevent re-burning.
Master the heat: Pay attention to the heat when cooking, and avoid overheating or even burning the bottom of the pot due to too much heat.
Use a thermal conductive plate: Using a thermal conductive plate on a gas stove can effectively prevent the bottom of the pot from overheating and avoid burning.
Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the bottom of the stainless steel pot is burned, and find and deal with it in time.
Avoid empty boiling: Try to avoid empty boiling of stainless steel pots, as this will cause the bottom of the pot to overheat or even deform.
Cleaning and maintenance: Cleaning the stainless steel pot regularly to keep the pot body clean and smooth can reduce the risk of burning. At the same time, regular maintenance can also enhance the durability of the pot.
Use the right cooking oil: Using the right amount of cooking oil can prevent food from sticking to the bottom of the pan, which reduces the likelihood of burning.
Pay attention to the order in which cookware is used: When using multiple cookware, be careful about the order of use to avoid excessive concentration of heat that can lead to burning.
Know where the cookware is placed: When using the gas stove, pay attention to the placement of the cookware to ensure air circulation and avoid scorching due to insufficient combustion caused by lack of oxygen.
Pay attention to the cleaning of the gas stove: Clean the gas stove regularly to ensure that it is working properly and avoid scorching due to gas stove failure.
Choose the right cookware: Choosing the right cookware for your cooking needs will not only improve cooking efficiency but also reduce the risk of burning.
Through the above scientific cleaning steps and tips to prevent re-burning, we can make the stainless steel pot look new and return to the stage of the kitchen.
