What are the methods for removing grease from aluminum pots

In our daily life, when we cook food, we will definitely need some cooking utensils. Many cooking utensils are made of aluminum, which is also quite common. Many people prefer aluminum cookware because aluminum is lighter, easier to hold, and conducts heat faster, saving time when making dishes. However, aluminum cookware can cause some harm to the body when used.

How to remove grease from aluminum pans

1. After purchasing a new aluminum pot, you can first stew some fat-rich food, such as meat, and then use it for other purposes. In this way, the grease can cover the tiny pores in the aluminum pot, effectively preventing the aluminum pot from turning black or having black stains, and also has a certain anti-corrosion ability.

2. Use the residual heat to remove black stains.

After using the aluminum pot, take a soft cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of detergent powder and wipe it while it is still warm. Black stains can be easily removed.

3. Boil fruit peels in water to remove stains.

Every once in a while, use an aluminum pot to boil some water containing fruit peels (such as banana peels, apple peels, grape peels, etc.). After using it for a period of time, most of the black stains can be removed.

4. Use vinegar to remove black marks from aluminum pots:

For an aluminum pot that is blackened by smoke, just apply vinegar on the smoke stains, wait for 30 minutes and then rinse to remove them.

Precautions for using aluminum pots

Precautions for using aluminum pots

1. Do not use aluminum products to hold acidic or alkaline foods

Such as juice, wine, soy sauce, vinegar and so on.

2. Avoid stirring eggs in aluminum products.

When egg white touches aluminum, it will turn grayish white. It is best to use porcelain products to stir eggs.

3. Avoid using aluminum products to store flour for a long time

The starch in flour will produce organic acids after fermentation, which are corrosive to aluminum. If stored for too long, it will produce carbon dioxide gas when it reacts with moisture in the air. The protective aluminum oxide film on the surface of the aluminum will be destroyed by the erosion of organic acids, water and carbon dioxide gas, causing rust.

4. Avoid using aluminum pots to store food for a long time.

Aluminum has poor corrosion resistance. Alkali, acid, and salt can all react chemically with aluminum. If people eat food stored in an aluminum pot for a long time, it will cause harm to their health.

5. Avoid using aluminum products to decoct medicine.

Using aluminum products to decoct medicine will make the medicine ineffective and may also produce toxic substances that are harmful to the human body.

6. Avoid mixing iron and aluminum cookware.

It is very common to mix iron and aluminum cookware, but such usage is extremely harmful to health. After iron collides and rubs against aluminum, the softer aluminum will drop many powdery particles. These particles enter the human body along with food, causing the amount of aluminum in the body to increase rapidly, forming a chronic accumulation. When it accumulates to a certain amount, it will cause harm to the human blood and brain function.

7. Avoid using new aluminum products to boil water.

Boiling water with new aluminum utensils will turn the aluminum utensils black. Therefore, rice or meat should be cooked with new aluminum utensils first.
