How to clean a newly bought cooking pot

Now that living conditions are better, many things are bought new. Many people in life buy a new cooking pot but don’t know how to clean it. If they use too much force, they will worry that it will damage the paint of the cooking pot. However, if they don’t wash the new pot, they are worried that it will threaten their health. This often makes some people who buy new pots really in a dilemma. So how should they clean the newly bought cooking pot?

Don't rush to use the iron pan you just bought. Because iron pans are treated with anti-rust treatment before leaving the factory, there will be a layer of substance in the pan that looks shiny and feels greasy, and sometimes is accompanied by some special smell. Therefore, before cooking, be sure to clean the iron pan first, otherwise it will be bad for your health.

If you want to prevent your iron pan from rusting, you must pay attention to maintenance from the first time you use the pan.

1. Pork skin method

(1) Heat the iron pan and add the fat with skin.

(2) Turn to low heat and use chopsticks to rub the fat on the wall of the pot until the fat turns black.

(3) Take out the meat and rinse the pot with warm water. Repeat this process several times. But please note that you do not need to clean the pot after applying oil for the last time. Just wash the pot with clean water before cooking the next day.

Super verbose:

(1) This method not only removes the iron smell and residue in the iron pan, but the lard can also form a protective layer on the inner wall of the pan to prevent the iron pan from rusting.

(2) When cleaning, be sure not to use detergent or other cleaning agents, as this will wash away the oil in the pan. The iron pan will not be able to absorb the oil and will rust.

2. Salt method

(1) After heating the iron pan, add a tablespoon of salt (either table salt or coarse salt) into the pan and turn to low heat, stirring constantly.

(2) When frying, you need to keep turning the iron pan to ensure that the salt can contact every part of the inner wall of the pan.

(3) When the salt turns yellow, turn off the heat, pour out the salt, and clean the iron pan with warm water.

Super verbose:

It is best to wipe the iron pan clean with kitchen paper after cleaning, or use fire to dry the water in the pan and then leave it alone, otherwise it will easily rust.

3. Ginger method

(1) After the iron pan is heated, put the ginger slices into the pan, turn to low heat, use chopsticks to hold the ginger slices and evenly spread them on the inner wall of the pan.

(2) Apply for 3-5 minutes.
