In Australia, are many friends like cocoa, from a little girl who never does housework suddenly to become a hundred small talent?
So began to care about the family's 1.1 leaks, such as today's topic: how to choose a healthy and easy-to-use pot? Let's introduce several kinds of common pans one by one.
1, pressure cooker & electric pressure cooke
I bought two electric pressure cookers, one for use and the other for preparation. Electric pressure cooker cooking, the flavor of rice waxy will be raised by a level.
When choosing an electric pressure cooker, there are many considerations, first of all, the brand. The editor's electric pressure cooker is brought here from home, and there is no unique love for the brand, but choosing a common market, the company has a certain strength of the well-known brand or necessary, after all, is electronic goods, big brand things, It will be more reassuring in terms of safety. And the inner tank material of the electric pressure cooker is also very important.
I've seen pressure cookers in the Australian market, but I don't like pressure cookers. Used pressure cookers since childhood, not so afraid of safety, but many pressure cookers are aluminum alloy materials, of course, stainless steel now, but very heavy ah! Moreover, the pressure cooker can not choose the pressure size, so in terms of functional practicality, I reject the pressure cooker and choose the electric pressure cooker.
Caution: for friends who have never used a pressure cooker, pay attention to changing the gasket frequently (the electric pressure cooker looks like the washer doesn't need to be replaced, the small one has been in use for two years, it looks like the washer is quite new). When washing the pot, also pay attention to washer to wash clean, do not have the grain of rice and other sundries embedded. Check valve and exhaust port regularly, if clogged, need to be cleaned up in time.
2. Stainless steel soup pot & stainless steel frying pot
The most abundant pot in my family is stainless steel. The advantage of stainless steel is that food is safer and healthier than aluminum pots, clean and maintained when used. The disadvantage is heavy.
More than a decade ago, stainless steel gave the impression of food safety, but now people are more and more aware of stainless steel products, and it is clear that stainless steel is also divided into many kinds. Stainless steel products are not properly selected, there will also be heavy metal spillover, so for food-loaded stainless steel, it is best to choose 304 food-grade stainless steel products. And stainless steel pot should not be long-term contact with acid-base substances, so try not to put food overnight in stainless steel pot.
3. Iron pot & cast iron pot
We grew up with the cooking pot, basically iron pot. The advantage of iron pot is health and safety, disadvantage is ugly, difficult to take care of, heavy, easy to damage.
All the food is not suitable for a long time in the iron pot, because the iron pot is easy to rust.
Compared with stainless steel pot, iron pot is relatively easy to damage, I remember when I was a child used in the home iron pot, basically a few years, the bottom of the pot broke or leakage, need to change a pot. And every change of pot is also very painful, mother will be equipped with a lot of fat meat and vegetable leaves are cooked, but also roast, for half a day, the first day of the dish may still have a little rusty taste.
The traditional iron pot does not contain other special chemicals in the material, so the antioxidant ability is relatively strong, so in the course of cooking, there will be no dissolution that is not suitable for credit. Even if iron ions are dissolved into food, people can also absorb them after eating. Iron can be used in the synthesis of hemoglobin, is an essential element in the process of hematopoiesis, so using iron pot cooking can prevent iron deficiency anemia.
Chinese cooking like heavy oil, fried vegetables, fried and so on, will be used to oil, for such a traditional family, iron pot is the best choice, in the cooking, silently maintain the pot.
There is also a raw hand may ask, iron pot has pig iron pot and refined iron pot, what is the difference?
The iron quality of the pig iron pot is very pure, and generally relatively heavy. When heated, when the temperature of the fire exceeds 200 degrees Celsius, the iron pot generally controls the temperature of about 230 degrees Celsius by emitting a certain amount of heat energy, and the temperature passed to the food is generally controlled at about 230 degrees Celsius. Easier to control the fire, suitable for slow stir-fry.
Precision iron pot is made of black iron sheet forging or manual hammer, after multiple treatment, the pot body is light and thin, the temperature is directly transferred to food, suitable for hot stir-fry.
Tip: iron pot is easy to rust, and rust if inadvertently ingested by the human body, can cause damage to the liver.
4, non-stick pot & coating pot
Many single people, kitchen rookies, lazy people like to use a non-stick pot. The biggest advantage of non-stick pot is non-stick and light, almost no maintenance. The disadvantage is that all non-stick pots are coated, dry burning or fried temperature can easily lead to high pot temperature, coating shedding, both affect the life of the pot and affect your health.
Choose non-stick pot must choose to meet the national quality standards of non-stick pot, with a wooden shovel or silica gel shovel to stir-fry vegetables. Do not use sharp matter, steel ball, etc., to scrape and clean the surface of the pot. After use, wait for its natural cooling, no direct cooling of cold water, too fast heat and cold exchange is easy to affect the service life of the coating.
5, alloy pot
The so-called alloy pot, is basically aluminum alloy products, and a small number of titanium alloy products.
With the development of modern science and technology, alloy pot products are fully oxidized to the surface of the pot, so the safety index can stand the test completely.
In use, the alloy pot can well avoid some shortcomings of stainless steel pot and iron pot, but after all, this is a new commodity, the alloy pot on the market is mixed with good and bad, after all, aluminum products can cause Alzheimer's disease. The psychological shadows are too deep for cocoa to choose any alloy pot. If you think about it, it looks like the inner tank of the electric pressure cooker I bought should be alloy?
6, casserole
Casserole is believed to be very familiar to the Chinese and has a history of thousands of years of use in China.
Advantages of casseroles: heat treatment and uniform heat dissipation; decomposition of macromolecular nutrients into small molecules that are more easily digested and absorbed by the human body; protection of functional phenols in food.
Shortcomings of the casserole: very easy to break, burst, not suitable for stir-fried vegetables and thick food.
When choosing casserole, you should also pay attention to choose good casserole, after all, in this society where there is a possibility of falsifying everything, for the pot accompanied by food, must choose authentic quality goods. Cocoa never pursues a brand, but at least it can't be three-free products. Remember that there have been news reports about fake chemicals made of purple casseroles, thousands of pots, and harmful health. So from this news can be seen, not expensive pot will be safe, but I believe that the choice of large-scale production of this kind of pot perennial regular manufacturers, the security is still relatively high.
7, glass pot
Glass pot is also launched in recent years, now look at all kinds of advertising introduction, basically a good, full of advantages. Cocoa's acceptance of new things is divided, with some thinking that it doesn't affect health. Acceptance is quick, but acceptance is slow for things that are directly related to food. I haven't bought any glass pots at the moment anyway. There are a lot of glass bowls. I didn't choose a glass pot because I just wanted to wait and see, anyway, there are a lot of pots at home, there is no need to increase it for the time being.
See a lot of user experience on the Internet, summed up the glass pot has the following advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages: health, non-toxic, zero expansion coefficient, heat preservation, durable, multi-purpose, simple and easy to use.
Disadvantages: do not use a hard material to scoop or clean the pot to avoid scratches on the surface of the pot; pot pads are required to be placed on the table; hot pots cannot be lifted unarmed and heat-proof gloves are required.
These are cocoa purchase pot some careful, hope can give you some help, if anyone has own opinion, also welcome to reply to inform, everybody study progress together.
