How should the stainless steel pot be properly maintained?

Stainless steel pot maintenance is really an old story, but how many people really follow these precautions to do it? Today, the editor of Nikko Stainless Steel will talk about some daily maintenance methods in more detail. I hope it will be helpful to you.

1. Daily maintenance methods

1. Wipe dry immediately after washing

This can avoid water stains and water spots. (If there are spots, wipe them with a damp sponge with detergent or baking soda to remove them.)

2. Add salt after the water in the pot is boiling

Add salt before the water boils, there may be some small spots in the pot, which are difficult to brush off.

3. Heat the pan first, then pour the oil, and add food when the oil is hot.

It won't stick to the pot so easily.

4. The ingredients should be thawed, and then poured into the pot

Because stainless steel shrinks when cold, frozen food is more likely to stick to the hot pan. If you want to cook some ingredients from the refrigerator, let them thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Then take a cloth or kitchen paper to dry the moisture on their surface.

5. Don't use high heat to preheat

Good quality stainless steel kitchenware heats up very quickly. Preheating with a high fire is likely to make the pot too hot and scorch the food.

6. Cool down before washing the pot

Soak the hot pot with cold water, it is easy to cause irreversible deformation of the pot.

7. Do not use rough tools such as wire brushes for cleaning, use sponges as much as possible.

A rough tool like a wire brush can easily scratch the stainless steel pot.

2. What should I do if I encounter the following problems?

1. White spots like chalk (such as limescale)

Mix the vinegar and water 1:3, pour it into a pot and boil, wash and dry after cooling.

2. The food sticks to the pan (for example, the frozen food mentioned above is put into the hot pan)

Use a non-rough sponge to wipe off the food residues stuck on the pan, and then add enough water to submerge the stains, add some detergent, and it will be easy to clean after boiling.

3. Discoloration caused by overheating (looks like a rainbow)

You can try to wash the pot with vinegar, or use the pot to cook some acidic foods, such as tomato sauce.

4. Difficult to clean after scorching

Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot to cover the entire surface of the pot, then add a cup of vinegar and bring to a boil. Then remove from the heat and add 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Scrub the stained area vigorously. If you can’t wipe it off, sprinkle a little baking soda and water on the stain, and then scrub again in a few minutes.

5. The outer surface of the pot is dirty.

In addition to cleaning agents, you can also use a kind of magical magic-golden steel sand sponge, wipe it out, 10 pieces only about ten yuan, there are many on the Internet.
