How to remove rust from a pot

Everyone knows that pots will rust after being used for a long time, and if they are not handled for a long time, they will stick to the pot, layer upon layer, making it more difficult to handle. When we find that the pot is rusted, we must deal with it in time. We can use vinegar or potato peels to effectively remove rust. It is easier to prevent rust than to remove it. Therefore, we should take preventive measures when using it. After brushing the pot, let it dry and put it away. Don't brush it too clean after use. Leaving some oil can also prevent rust.

Removal method:

① Pour 20 grams of vinegar into a hot iron pan, scrub it with a hard brush while it is burning, pour out the dirty vinegar and rinse with clean water.

② Put a little salt in the pot, rub the pot after frying until it turns yellow, then brush the pot clean, then add clean water and 1 tablespoon of oil, bring to a boil, pour out and wash the pot.

③Don’t wash it too clean after each use, leave some oil to prevent rust. You can first heat the iron pan, then pour in a little oil, spread it evenly with a spatula, then turn off the heat, and rinse it with clean water when you use it the next day.

④Tips for removing and preventing rust: Remove rust with radish and potato peels. If the iron pan or kitchen knife is rusted, you can dip the cut potato or radish peels in a little fine sand and rub the iron pan and knife vigorously to easily remove the rust.

⑤Tea leaves can prevent rust. Iron pans are prone to rust when exposed to moisture, which is difficult to remove. You can wipe the iron pan with a gauze bag filled with tea leaves to prevent it from rusting.

⑥ Rice washing water can prevent rust. If you clean iron cooking utensils such as kitchen knives, spatulas, and iron spoons and then soak them in rice washing water with a higher concentration, you can prevent them from rusting quickly because the rice washing water will add a layer of protective film for them.
