It's very important to keep a pot! I have a deep understanding of this. We always use casseroles at home. We have used countless casseroles. I don't know how my mother used to maintain them. Some are good, some are expensive but not durable. But I only have a few yuan here. If I can use it for such a long time, I will rely on the maintenance!

The pot bought first can't be used in a hurry. We should deal with it first. We can choose the following methods

1. The whole pot must be soaked in water for one day first, so that the new dry pot can absorb sufficient water, and then boiled with rice washing water, so that the starch in the water will fill the seam of the pot, so as to prevent the pot from cracking due to uneven heating. (this feeling is more troublesome) 2. First use a new casserole to cook porridge. The principle is the same as above. 3. Soak rice in water for at least one night. The principle is the same as above.

4. At least fill it with water for a night (that's what my pot did, because there was no rice washing water at that time)

5. In addition, oil can also be used to nourish the newly purchased casserole. Before the first use of the casserole, brush a layer of oil in the casserole, let the pores suck in, and then use a small fire to let the oil completely suck in. After the fire is turned off, cool the casserole and clean it.

Normal use and maintenance

Casserole can endure long time cooking, but it can't be fast

The used casserole must be placed at its temperature before cleaning. After cleaning, it should be thoroughly air dried or wiped dry.

Clay casserole hardness is lower than metal, do not brush with metal brush or too hard cucumber cloth, otherwise it is easy to scratch the surface and reduce the life of casserole.

Quality appraisal method of casserole

① The shape of the casserole shall be round and straight without burr. ② After knocking, the sound is clear and has an aftertone. ③ No leakage of water.

Leakproof method of casserole

Before using the new casserole, wash and brush it with rice washing water several times, then put rice soup on the fire and bake it for half an hour, the casserole will not leak water.

Casserole maintenance method

① Do not burn in the air. If the water is dry and the casserole is not broken, leave the fire immediately and let the casserole cool naturally. ② Do not let the soup out of the pot. ③ Only water can be heated during the cooking process.

④ The casserole just out of the fire shall not be directly placed on the tile or cement floor, but on the dry board or straw mat and other heat insulation materials.

Casserole

(1) Features

The casserole is suitable for stewing meat, boiling soup and decocting traditional Chinese medicine. However, there is a small amount of lead in the enamel of the casserole, which is easy to dissolve when cooking acid food and harmful to health. Therefore, the casserole with natural color on the inner wall is selected. If there is color on the inner wall of the casserole, it is not suitable to store wine, vinegar, acid drinks and food. The newly bought casserole can be first soaked and boiled with 4% vinegar water, so that most harmful substances can be removed. (2) Select

① Look at the pan noodles. The surface of the pot is smooth, but it is not required to be smooth as a mirror. It is normal to have irregular light lines on the surface, but if the lines are too dense, it is a defective product.

2. "Small protrusion" can be removed by grinding wheel, and "small pit" is of poor quality. Some pot sellers often use graphite to fill the "eye", which is difficult to find out. Only a few strokes with a small brush can make it exposed.

③ Check the bottom of the pot. The smaller the bottom of the pot, the faster the fire spread, saving fuel and time.

④ Check the thickness. The pot can be divided into thin and thick ones. It is better to use thin ones. When identifying, you can point the bottom of the pot to the sky, hold the concave center with your fingers, and knock with hard objects. The louder the pot is, the better the greater the vibration of your fingers.

Tips for choosing and using casseroles:

Because the casserole is made of clay, whether there are bubbles in the wall of the casserole becomes the key problem of the quality of the casserole.

Due to the difference of manufacturing process, some casseroles, when artisans use the mud Nirvana casserole, the soil is not evenly stirred, there are bubbles in it, and then the casserole is made. When it is used, after being heated, the gas expands, generating a lot of pressure, resulting in the change of internal stress of the casserole, which will burst.

The tips for choosing a casserole are as follows:

1: Appearance: round, uniform, complete and crack free

2: Tap the lid or coins on the body of the pot, and listen to the sound - clear, bright and crisp. 3: rotate the lid - when using the casserole closely with the body, pay attention to the following points:

1: Before heating, the outer surface of the casserole must be dried. If there is water, the casserole is easy to crack

2: The casserole shall not be cold or hot. When heating, it is necessary to turn on a small fire first. When turning on a large fire, it is not allowed to burn directly with a large fire. 3: When the casserole is burning, pay attention not to add a lot of water in it. When boiling, a small amount of water will splash out, which will also damage the casserole. 4: Most of the food cooked in casserole has soup. Be careful not to dry it.

5: Hot casserole, to let it cool naturally, can't use cold towel to apply up, will explode.

6: The casserole should be placed on the table mat when serving. Pay special attention not to put it directly on the cold marble table top

Finally, the maintenance of the casserole: after cleaning the bought casserole, remember to handle it first and then cook it formally, so as to reduce the cracking probability of the pot after heating and extend the service life of the pot by 30%.

1: Add a whole pot of cold water, boil for 20 minutes in a small fire, turn off the fire, and let the water temperature cool completely naturally. 2: Cook a pot of porridge. (use its starch to fill the gap of the pot and make the texture more compact)

3: If you have a large oven, you can use paper towels first
