How to use wok

The wok is easily damaged. Therefore, when using a wok, pay attention to the following seven points:

1. The newly bought wok needs to be brushed with a harder brush; the pot wall has fine pores and water absorption. The pot can be filled with water and placed for 3 to 5 minutes, then washed and dried for later use. But it should be noted that the soaking time should not be too long. Before putting the casserole on the fire, wipe off the water on the outside of the pot. When you use the newly purchased wok for the first time, it is best to use it to cook porridge, or use it to boil thick rice water to block the fine pores of the casserole and prevent water seepage.

2. When using a wok to boil soup and stew, put water in the wok first, and then put the wok on the fire, first use a slow fire, then use a strong fire; when the wok is cooking things, if there is less soup in the pot , You need to add water, do not add cold water, warm water or hot water should be added; at the same time, the soup in the pot should not overflow, to prevent the outside of the pot from being exposed to water and bursting.

3. If you are heating with a coal stove, prevent the bottom of the wok from competing with the coal.

4. The wok is brittle and easy to break, so it should be handled with care.

5. The hot wok that has just been used up is best placed on an iron frame or a dry wooden board or straw mat. Do not put it on wet ground, ceramic tiles or concrete floors, otherwise the temperature will change suddenly and the wok will burst easily.

6. Do not use a wok to boil viscous paste food.

7. If the inner wall of the wok is colored, it is not suitable to store wine, vinegar, acidic beverages and food.

8. The material of the wok is special, so wait until the wok cools before cleaning. Moreover, it should not be soaked with detergent to prevent sewage from penetrating into the pores of the wok. The washed wok must not be put away until the moisture is completely dry, otherwise it may grow black spot mold.
