The beauty and cleanliness of stainless steel cookware is attractive, but the two big problems of cleaning and maintenance are a headache. How to clean and maintain stainless steel cookware? Today, Shifubang Home Doctor will introduce a little trick to you, use a rag + baking soda + a little Wipe with hot water, this method is mainly not to hurt the pot, but also has the effect of cleaning.
method/step
1. Baking soda solution is weakly alkaline, its particles are soft crystals, and the hardness is similar to that of human nails or gold. After wetting with water, the edges and corners of the crystals can be melted. Therefore, as a friction agent, it can not only remove the surface of the appliance The dirt will not cause damage to the pot, which is much milder than toothpaste and salt.
2. It must not be brushed with a steel brush. It is not recommended to use large-sized crystals such as decontamination powder and salt. The friction force is relatively large, especially stainless steel pots with high polishing and glossy surfaces. After wiping it once, you will find that the pot is It was clean, but the polished surface was not shiny.
3. After each use, the doctor of Shifubang Home Furnishing recommends that it is best not to wash with cold water immediately, which will produce water mist and make the pots and pans difficult to clean. You can use warm water to clean them.
4. Wipe the surface with a sponge cloth, so that the surface of the pot will not be scratched.
5. Do not clean with strong alkali or strong oxidizing chemicals, such as bleaching powder.
Precautions when using stainless steel pans:
1. Do not store acidic or alkaline foods for a long time.
2. Due to the small thermal conductivity of stainless steel, the heat dissipation at the bottom is slow, and the temperature is easy to concentrate, so when using stainless steel cookware, the firepower should not be too large, and the heating surface of the bottom should be as wide and uniform as possible, which can not only save fuel but also avoid the burning of the food at the bottom of the pot.
3. After a period of use, a layer of fog will form on the surface of the stainless steel, making the surface of the kitchen tableware dark. At this time, it can be wiped off with a soft cloth dipped in stain remover powder or dishwashing liquid to restore the brightness. This method can also be used if the outer surface is blackened by smoke.
4. When using a stainless steel pot, do not let water stains on the bottom of the pot. Especially when used in a briquettes furnace, since the briquettes contain sulfur, sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide will be produced when burning, which will generate sulfurous acid and sulfuric acid when it encounters water, which will corrode the bottom of the pot.
How to deal with blackened stainless steel pot:
1. After the stainless steel pot is burnt, there will be some burnt food adhering to the pot, which is difficult to remove. We can soak it in water for a period of time to soften it and then it will be easy to remove.
2. Remove the tomatoes from the bottom of the pot, cook them in the pot with a few not-so-good tomato squares, and they will fall off naturally.
3. Go to the bottom of the pot with beer and white wine. If you accidentally burn the pot while cooking, there will be crumbs on the bottom of the pot. If it is not easy to brush off, the doctor of Shifubang Home Furnishing suggests that you can pour a little white wine and beer with a small amount of water (the ratio is 2:2 :1) Mix it up and let it sit for 5 minutes, then it's easy to scrub clean.
4. Stainless steel cleaning paste
The current kitchen utensils, including pots, etc., are basically made of stainless steel. When they were just bought, they were very transparent and shiny, but after a long time of smoky fire, the bottom of the pot and the surrounding became dark, very ugly. Some people try their best to remove it, such as repeated friction with steel balls, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has no effect, and there are many traces on the surface of the pot.
If you want the bottom of the pot to be as clean as new, you might as well try the stainless steel cleaning paste. After use, the black pot will remove black and rust, restore the original luster, and use it without worrying about hurting your hands, which is reassuring!
