[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report]Enamelled cast iron pots with colorful appearance and good heat storage effect are dream pots in many people’s minds! However, when using enameled cast iron pots, there are some details that need to be paid special attention to. If you are not careful, it may damage the pots and affect the safety of use! The Food and Drug Administration invited Chen Jianli, assistant professor of the Department of Food Science of Ocean University, to teach everyone how to use the enameled cast iron pan correctly so that it can be used for a long time and with peace of mind.
Severe temperature differences, collisions, steel brushes, and shovels will not work
In the selection of stoves, enameled cast iron pots can be used in gas stoves, IH stoves, and ovens in general households, but microwave ovens cannot be used. Chen Jianli reminded that the enamel on the surface of the enamel cast iron pot is prone to shrinkage and cracks due to the temperature difference between cold and heat, which in turn exposes the cast iron and rusts.
Chen Jianli said that when using pots and pans, you should use “cold pot, cold oil, and medium-low heat” to heat slowly. in principle. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid directly rinsing the hot pot that has just been used with cold water, or directly heating the pot after taking it out of the refrigerator, directly emptying the pot, etc.
Chen Jianli said that after using the enamel cast iron pot, it must be cooled first and then cleaned as soon as possible. Since the surface of the enamel is not easy to stick to dirt, usually add some warm water and soak it for a short time to remove the oil. In addition, it should be cleaned with a soft sponge, not a steel brush; avoid letting the pot soak in water for a long time; use a neutral detergent to clean if necessary; after cleaning, the pot must be wiped dry. It is worth noting that excessive cleaning and maintenance may actually damage the cookware.
It is rumored that the color part of the enamel pot contains heavy metals, and the heavy metals will dissolve out and contaminate the food when the pot is used. Chen Jianli believes that there is no need to worry too much! Because the colored parts are all on the outside of the pot, they will not come into direct contact with food, and both Taiwan and European and American countries have relevant regulations on the dissolution of heavy metals in pots, so you can use products that meet the regulatory standards.
The Food and Drug Administration advises that when purchasing enameled cast iron pots, you must choose reliable pot manufacturers and products that comply with laws and regulations to reduce the risk of heavy metal pollution. Correct use of enameled cast iron pots can avoid damage to pots and prolong the life of pots, so that you can operate with peace of mind when cooking!
