In daily cooking, iron pots are one of the commonly used cooking utensils in our kitchens. Many people may encounter a tricky problem during use - repeated rusting of iron pots. Rust stains are not only aesthetically pleasing, but can also contaminate food and affect health.
So, how to effectively prevent and solve the problem of rust in iron pots? Below, I will share with you a simple and easy way to make your iron pan in your home look new and keep the non-stick pan in a rust-free state for a long time.
First of all, you need to understand the cause of rust in the iron pot. The main ingredient of an iron pot is iron, which undergoes an oxidation reaction to form rust when exposed to moisture and oxygen. Therefore, if the iron pot is not cleaned and dried thoroughly in time after each use, it is easy to cause the iron pot to rust.
In response to this problem, I will teach you the following "1 trick" solution:
Equal emphasis on cleaning and maintenance].
1) Proper cleaning:
After each cooking, do not leave food residues in the pot for a long time, wash the pot body with hot water and a soft cloth or sponge as soon as possible, and try to avoid using hard cleaning tools such as steel wool balls to avoid scratching the pot surface. For stubborn oil stains, you can sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt or use a special iron pot cleaner for gentle staining.
2) Deep rust removal:
If the iron pot has rust, you can heat the pot to lukewarm, then wipe the rust with lemon slices, use the rust removal ability of citric acid, and then rinse it with hot water. It can also be soaked in white vinegar and water mixture for half an hour and then cleaned, which also has a good rust removal effect.
3) Raise the pot to prevent rust:
After washing, the iron pot must be completely dried, and it can be placed on the stove to dry over low heat to ensure that there is no moisture residue. Then evenly coat the inner wall of the pot with cooking oil to form a thin protective film, which can not only prevent the moisture from directly contacting the iron surface to cause oxidation, but also play a preliminary non-stick effect in the next cooking.
4) Regular maintenance:
Every once in a while, according to the above methods, the iron pot is deeply cleaned and maintained, and if it is persisted for a long time, the iron pot can always be kept clean and not easy to rust.
In order to make the iron pot clean as new, non-stick and rust-free, the key lies in scientific and reasonable cleaning methods and regular maintenance measures. As long as you master these skills and implement them consistently, the rusty iron pot of the past will surely glow with new vitality, bringing more convenience and fun to your cooking life.
