What should I do if the wheat rice stone pot sticks to the pot after being used for a long time

After prolonged use, the sticking of the wheat rice stone pot can be improved by reopening the pot, controlling the oil temperature, selecting suitable cooking utensils, avoiding empty burning, and regular maintenance. Sticky pots are usually related to factors such as coating wear, high oil temperature, and improper use.

1. Reopen the pot

After using the rice stone pot for a period of time, the natural mineral coating on the surface may become thinner due to high temperature or scratching, resulting in a decrease in anti sticking performance. The pot can be washed and dried, evenly coated with a small amount of cooking oil, heated over low heat until an oil film is formed, and then wiped off excess oil after cooling. This method can help repair micro pores and enhance the anti sticking effect.

2. Control oil temperature

The rice stone pot is suitable for medium and low temperature cooking, and an oil temperature exceeding 200 degrees Celsius may accelerate coating aging. Hot pot and cold oil are ideal operating methods. When the pot is slightly hot, pour in cooking oil and then add the ingredients. When frying food, you can first use kitchen paper to absorb the surface moisture and reduce the drastic fluctuations in oil temperature.

3. Choose appropriate cookware

Avoid using hard tools such as metal shovels or steel wire balls, and recommend using silicone shovels or wooden shovels to flip ingredients. When cleaning, use a soft sponge combined with neutral detergent. Stubborn stains can be softened by boiling water. When storing, be careful to avoid stacking and causing coating wear.

4. Avoid air burning

Long term dry burning can cause uneven heating of the vermiculite substrate, and local high temperatures may cause the anti sticking layer to crack. Before cooking, ensure that the ingredients are ready. If you need to adjust the heat midway, you can temporarily move the pot or add a small amount of water to adjust the temperature.

5. Regular maintenance

You can boil baking soda with water every month to disinfect and remove deep oil stains. Clean and dry thoroughly after daily use, and apply a thin layer of edible oil protective coating when not in use for a long time. When obvious scratches or large areas of sticking to the pot are found, it is recommended to replace the pot with a new one to ensure cooking safety.

When using a rice stone pot in daily life, it is recommended to pair it with high smoke point oils such as olive oil and tea seed oil, and avoid using oils such as butter that are prone to burning. Ensure that the ingredients are completely thawed before cooking, as putting frozen food directly into the pot can cause excessive temperature differences in certain areas. Acidic foods such as tomatoes and lemons should not be stewed for a long time as they may affect the stability of the coating. Regularly check if the bottom of the pot is deformed, as uneven heating of the deformed pot body can exacerbate the sticking phenomenon. If the problem of sticking to the pot persists, it is necessary to consider whether the coating has been severely damaged. If necessary, replacing the pot with a new one would be more beneficial for a healthy diet.
