I just bought a pig iron frying pan. How should I cook it?
The so-called boiling pot, after the new pot is bought, use sandpaper (if there is no sandpaper, it is OK to use a brick) to completely clean up the burr, iron sand and other debris on the wall of the pot until it is smooth. You should also know that you can't directly use the wok for cooking after you buy it, because there will be antirust oil on the wok. There will be a lot of friction between the wok and the spatula. The wok is easy to paste and has rust smell. Therefore, the pot must be boiled to make it durable and not easy to rust.
Iron wok belongs to cooked iron, which is different from cast iron wok. Cast iron pot is pig iron, it is directly melted into water, and then poured into the mold molding. The cooked iron pot is to forge the iron into iron pieces first, and make a complete piece of iron into a arc pot by hammering. We're going to talk about the boiling process of cooked iron. Bring to a boil over high heat, boil for about 10 minutes, and turn off the heat. Wait for the water in the pot to drop to a low temperature, and then wipe the inner wall of the pot evenly with a cleaning pad. Scrub the lid together. Clean the lid and wipe the surface dry with cloth. Pour out the water in the pot and prepare a cleaning cloth. Then wipe the water in the pot with a cloth.
Ordinary iron pot boiling is necessary, boiling can make the pot more non stick and rust proof in the future daily use. I've done a special video before. I'd like to share it with you. I hope it can help you. Wash the new pot with clean water first, then control the water content, put the pot on the fire and burn it until the bottom of the pot turns black. After the bottom of the pot is black, turn the pot to make the edge of the iron pot heated evenly.
Why should we open the pot before using the new iron pot? The first thing is to clean the pot. In order to prevent rust and make the pot have a good appearance, the manufacturers first coat the pot with oil, and then inevitably stick a lot of dust during transportation. Therefore, the important role of opening the pot is to remove rust and impurities. Put it in the furnace and heat it. Let the oil and some waste vegetable leaves stir fry in the pot for a while. The purpose is to make those vegetable leaves absorb the rust smell in the pot. After stir frying, wash the pot once.
