How to open a non stick pot made of wheat rice stone

Before the first use of the non stick rice stone pot, it is necessary to boil it correctly to improve the durability of the coating. The main steps include cleaning, drying, oiling, heating, and cooling.

1. Cleaning

The surface of the new pot may have residual industrial grease or dust, which needs to be thoroughly cleaned with neutral detergent and soft sponge. Avoid using steel wire balls or hard cleaning tools to prevent scratching the coating of the vermiculite. After rinsing, dry off the water to ensure that there is no residue of cleaning agent in the pot.

2. Drying

Place the cleaned cookware on the stove and dry it over low heat, with the temperature controlled at around 100 degrees Celsius. continuously heating until the pot is completely dry helps to remove moisture from the metal pores. Be careful to avoid burning for too long, which may cause local overheating.

3. Apply oil

When the pot has cooled to around 60 degrees Celsius, dip a small amount of cooking oil in kitchen paper and evenly apply it to the inner wall. It is recommended to choose plant oils with high smoke points, such as peanut oil or sunflower seed oil, with a suitable oil film thickness that does not drip. The connection between the coating edge and the handle also needs to be covered.

4. Heat

After applying oil, turn on low heat and heat again for 3-5 minutes to gradually allow the oil to penetrate into the micro pores of the coating. When slight smoking is observed on the surface of the pot, immediately turn off the heat, at which point the oil has completed the polymerization reaction. Pay attention to maintaining ventilation to prevent harmful substances from being produced by oil overheating.

5. Cool

Cool naturally to room temperature and rinse with warm water to complete the boiling process. It is recommended to cook starchy foods such as rice or noodles for the first time, which can help further stabilize the oil film. During subsequent use, rapid cooling and heating should be avoided to extend the service life of the coating.

It is recommended to choose silicone or wooden kitchen utensils when using a rice stone pot in daily life to avoid scratching with metal shovels. When cleaning, wait for the pot to cool down before rinsing with warm water. Stubborn stains can be treated by soaking them in baking soda solution. When not in use for a long time, it should be kept dry and regularly coated with thin oil for maintenance. Reasonable cooking and maintenance can maintain the anti sticking effect of the vermiculite coating for a longer period of time, while reducing the release of harmful substances during high-temperature cooking.
