How to deal with the rust of iron pan?

1, white vinegar treatment method

When we use the wok, it is inevitable that the wok will rust. At this time, just put the rusty wok on the fire and burn it, then quickly put 200 ml of vinegar into it, turn off the fire when the wok crackles, then wipe off the rusty things on the wok with a brush or rag, and finally clean it with water. Be careful not to use steel balls when brushing the wok. The washed wok can be dried with a clean rag and kitchen paper.

2, rice cleaning method

Rice washing water has a strong decontamination function. You can soak the iron pot in concentrated rice washing water for 2-3 hours, then boil the rice washing water, wipe off the rust in the iron pot with a rag while burning, let it warm after boiling, and then rinse the iron pot with clear water. It is worth noting that steel balls are not allowed to be used in the wiping process.

Don't use the newly bought wok for cooking. After the pot is heated, pour in the right amount of oil. After the oil is heated, tilt the pan to make the oil flow over the whole pan surface. After the oil flows evenly over the pan surface, let it evaporate and cool, and then pour out the remaining oil.
