Precautions for using stainless steel cookware
Release time:2025-01-06
Before use:
Before using the pot for the first time, please clean the pot with slightly warmed white vinegar, then rinse it with hot water, and wipe it dry inside and outside before use.
During use:
1. Before cooking, wipe off the moisture or oil inside and outside the pot to prevent the pot surface from turning yellow and black.
2. Avoid cooking with an empty pot for a long time, which may easily cause fire and damage such as deformation, cracking, and falling of the pot.
3. The food capacity should be controlled at 70%-80% of the pot volume.
4. Cook with medium or low heat (medium or low heat means that the flame does not exceed the bottom of the pot). The advantage of using medium or low heat is that it saves energy and the pot is not easy to turn yellow or black.
5. If you want to add salt to the pot, be sure to wait until the water boils before adding it. Adding salt to cold water will cause the pot to discolor, but the discoloration will not affect the performance of the pot.
6. Although stainless steel pots have better resistance to strong acids and alkalis, you should also try to avoid placing strong acid and alkali foods for a long time.
7. Pots with plastic handles cannot be put into the oven for use, while pots with stainless steel handles can be put into the oven for use (except coated pots).
After use:
1. After using the pot, use the residual heat of the pot to clean the pot, which is convenient and economical. Add clean water and a little detergent, and use a sponge or scouring pad to clean the inner and outer walls and the bottom of the pot. After cleaning, wipe the pot body and the bottom with a dry cloth.
2. Avoid directly rinsing high-temperature pots with cold water to avoid causing a lot of water mist, making the pot difficult to clean.
3. For stubborn stains, heat the pot with water for a few minutes before cleaning.
4. If there are white spots on the inner wall of the pot after use, it is because the starch in the water and food is attached to the surface of the pot wall during the heating process. The removal method is simple, just wipe it with a little vinegar or lemon slices.
5. If the pot body appears rainbow-colored, it is caused by overheating of salt and minerals in food. Use white vinegar heating method or stainless steel cleaning agent to clean it.
6. After using the pot, whether you use ordinary detergent or stainless steel cleaner to scrub it, you must rinse the pot with clean water and wipe it dry with a dry cloth. Otherwise, the detergent left in the pot will corrode the surface of the pot when it is wet.
