What's the difference between kettles made of different materials?

At one time, iron pot was all the rage in the tea industry.

At that time, the price of old iron pots from Japan climbed all the way, which was very hot in the tea circle.

Regardless of popularity, can the performance of the wok itself really improve the water quality?

This has been controversial in the industry.

As we all know, the hardness of water quality is mainly affected by calcium and magnesium ions. The higher their content, the harder the water quality.

Even if the pot made of pig iron has the function of adsorbing calcium and magnesium ions, its function is limited.

At the same time, around the quality of water, it also includes dust and impurities.

On the premise that the water quality itself is not ideal, the improvement effect of boiling water in iron pan is not obvious.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to exaggerate the role of boiling water in iron pots.

In order to improve the quality of tea, the root cause must be solved from the water source.

According to the standards set by Daguan Tea Science, good water suitable for making tea conforms to the characteristics of "clear, light, sweet, bitter and lively".

The biggest advantage of using iron pot to boil water to make tea is that iron has good thermal conductivity and can quickly gather heat.

When boiling water to make tea, you can make a pot of freshly boiled water to achieve the ideal heat preservation effect.

However, in the usual process, boiling water in an iron pan also has disadvantages-inconvenient maintenance.

If you are not careful, the bottom of the pot, the wall of the pot and other places will rust easily.

It not only affects the appearance, but also easily brings out the unpleasant rust smell.

Iron pot should be maintained in time after boiling water to make tea.

Don't soak the pot in water for a long time, try to put it in a dry place to avoid rusting.

Second, stainless steel pot.

An easy-to-use stainless steel kettle is the basic universal companion for making tea.

In modern life, it can be found in every family.

Stainless steel electric kettle is inexpensive, convenient and easy.

Compared with iron pots, copper pots and other pots that need to be heated slowly, it only takes three or two minutes to boil a pot of water with an electric kettle.

Press the switch and boil a pot of water to automatically stop heating.

From the process of "boiling water", the operation is simple and convenient.

Based on the material characteristics, the stainless steel pot can solve the problems that iron pot, copper pot and other metal teapots are easy to rust and troublesome to maintain.

Finally, when choosing stainless steel kettle to boil water, we should pay attention to safety performance.

Otherwise, some low-end and cheap stainless steel pot on the market can easily be mixed with impurities inside the material.

It is more appropriate to choose a brand electric kettle with power up to standard to make tea.

Third, pottery pots

Boiled water is retro and elegant.

Because of the material itself, "pottery" has large pores and better air permeability than metal and porcelain.

Boil water in a simple clay pot, and the heated water will be more moist.

In Chaoshan people's congou tea, it is their daily need to boil water with sand and pot.

In addition, compared with the metal stainless steel, iron pot, copper pot, coarse pottery pot can also act as a generalist.

It can not only boil water, but also make tea.

When I was in Shanghai before, I bought a handful of old white tea boiled in sand in winter.

Coarse sand can make the boiled tea soup taste more supple and have a unique flavor.

But when boiling water to make tea, the water in the clay pot boils slowly.

It will take a little time for the whole pot of water to boil completely after water injection.

At the same time, pottery pots are fragile and easy to crack, and they are afraid of bumping.

In daily use, we should pay more attention and care to avoid breaking the clay pot.

In addition, based on the properties of coarse pottery, it should be used more carefully.

Especially when a pot of water has just boiled and the whole clay pot is at a high temperature, it cannot be directly placed on the ground, marble surface and other places.

In order to avoid the sudden change of temperature at the bottom of the pot, it is easy to cause the bottom of the pot to break.

Fourth, the glass jar.

Glass kettle, do not have a sense of beauty.

In ancient times, glass was once known as "colored glaze".

At that time, glass was a relatively rare material.

Glassware is more tasteful and advanced.

But now, glassware and equipment have been popularized, popularized and universal.

Therefore, when choosing a glass kettle, we should pay attention to its visual shape.

Otherwise, choosing ordinary pot-bellied glass pot directly may not be consistent with the overall style of tea mat.

The advantage of glass kettle lies in its transparency and visibility.

The process of water heating in the pot can be clearly observed.

However, in normal use, transparent glass pots have advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages are chic, beautiful and exquisite.

The disadvantage is that the usual maintenance and cleaning are more troublesome.

Especially when stains and fingerprints are left outside the glass pot, they are particularly conspicuous and should be cleaned and wiped from time to time.

In addition, when heating and boiling water with a glass pot, pay attention to one thing-choose heat-resistant ones!

For example, a kettle made of high borosilicate glass can stand the test of high temperature and is not easy to break and burst.

For the sake of safety, it is recommended to buy water from regular channels when choosing glass jars to boil water.

You can rest assured when you use it in the future!
