When cooking, we cannot ignore the selection of some kitchen utensils, and the pot is very important. Nowadays, there are pots of various materials, such as iron pots, aluminum pots or stainless steel pots. People can choose different pots according to the cooking method. So, is a stainless steel pot good for cooking? It can be said that various pots have their own advantages when cooking. Let's take a look at them together.

The advantages of stainless steel are that it is clean, easy to wash, and non-corrosive. Since it is stamped with thinner stainless steel, it is lighter in weight. The disadvantage is that the heat transfer/heat absorption/and heat preservation are worse than pig iron.

How to avoid non-stick pan when cooking

Put the stainless steel pot on the stove, heat the pot and add cold oil. When the oil temperature in the pot rises, put the meat, vegetables, etc. in. Do not stir-fry immediately. Cover the pot. After 1 minute, open the lid and stir-fry again. This way the food will not stick to the pot. If you are frying food, first wipe the pan dry and place it on the stove over low heat for about 1 minute. When the pan is hot, drop a few drops of water into it. If the water droplets roll back and forth in the pan, the temperature of the pan has reached the requirement for non-stick frying. At this time, put the meat, fish, or chicken in. If it is lean meat that does not produce oil, just drop a few drops of oil into the pan. This way it won't stick to the pan. If the water droplets in the pot dry up immediately, it proves that the temperature is not high enough and the food will easily stick to the pot.

How to clean a stainless steel pot

After cooking, add a small cup of water to the hot pot, then scrub the bottom of the pot with a scouring pad, and then rinse it with clean water. When cleaning the outside of the pot, add a few drops of range hood cleaner while the pot is hot, and then wipe it with a scouring pad. The cleaning effect is very good. I've had my frying pan for several years and it's still like new. Every time you finish cooking, be sure to use the residual heat of the pot to clean it immediately, which can save a lot of time and effort.

I believe everyone is clear about whether it is good to cook in a stainless steel pot. It can be seen that it is very convenient to clean a stainless steel pot. It will not be as black and difficult to clean as an iron pot. Of course, even so, it is better to use an iron pot when cooking, which will be more beneficial to the human body.
