For household pots, there are all kinds of them, and there are various materials.
And many of our friends may just consider its function and style when choosing a pot.
As a result, there are many friends who choose non-stick pans. Because the non-stick pan style is really good-looking, and it can achieve a non-stick effect.
However, for those who really live at home, they will find that non-stick pans are often not so easy to use.
For me, I just had to change the non-stick pan back to the iron pan.
After replacing the non-stick pan that has been used for more than a year with an iron pot, some words are not spit out and unpleasant, and it is uncomfortable.
Do you know why I changed my nonstick pan back to an iron pan?
Why do many people tout non-stick pans?
Non-stick pans have indeed been very popular for a period of time and are sought after by many people.
The non-stick pan here refers to a non-stick pan with Teflon coating on the inside of the pot.
There are indeed many reasons why non-stick pans are popular. Although there are reasons for touting, I have to admit that there are many advantages.
If we compare non-stick pans with traditional iron pans, you will see that the difference between the two is indeed obvious.
In fact, these situations are also important reasons for being touted by many people.
(1) - high appearance
The first reason why non-stick pans are touted by many people is that the appearance is really high.
The appearance of the pot often determines whether many friends buy this kind of pot.
I believe that many friends have this idea, that is, when buying a pot, the first thing to look at is whether the pot looks good or not.
In terms of appearance, we compared the iron pot and the non-stick pan and found that the two are indeed very different:
(1) The appearance of the non-stick pan is obviously higher than that of the non-stick pan. Both the style and the appearance are significantly better than the traditional iron pot.
(2) The appearance of the traditional iron pot is relatively simple. In fact, no matter which brand of pot we compare, you will find that the style and appearance of iron pots are similar.
(2) - Lightweight
The second reason why non-stick pans are touted by many friends is that they are lighter.
When we use pots, we also have to consider one point, that is, whether the pot is good or not.
One of the things is whether the pot is light to serve.
Because for some families, the use of the pot generally requires a spoon, and the pot needs to be served.
At this point, you'll notice that the difference between a non-stick pan and a traditional iron pan is quite big:
(1) Non-stick pans are indeed lighter. For most girls, it may be possible to hold it with one hand, and it is more convenient to use.
(2) The iron pot is relatively heavy. Because the material of the iron pot itself is iron, it is decided that the iron pot is relatively bulky, and it is difficult to hold it with one hand.
(3) - Non-stick bottom
The third reason why the non-stick pan is touted by many friends is the non-stick bottom.
The advantage of non-stick pans is that the bottom of the non-stick pan is also one of the biggest advantages of non-stick pans, and it is also its selling point.
The state that is manifested is that when we stir-fry or boil porridge, we will find that the bottom of the non-stick pan is very clean.
And use a non-stick pan to stir-fry, and it is rare to paste the bottom of the pan.
If you compare this point with a traditional iron pot, the difference is also very obvious:
(1) When stir-frying in a non-stick pan, there will basically be no paste on the bottom of the pan. Therefore, the effect of stir-frying may be relatively better.
(2) For the traditional iron pot, if the heat is not well controlled, it is very easy to paste the bottom of the pot. In particular, the center of the bottom of the pot is particularly mushy.
(4) - Good brush
The fourth reason why the non-stick pan is touted by many friends is that it is really easy to brush.
When we use pots, we generally consider the problem of brushing pots.
In particular, several dishes are fried at home with a pot, and every time you finish frying, you have to brush the pot.
If the pot is particularly good to brush and is very clean with a light flush of water, it is undoubtedly a very good pot.
And in this regard, non-stick pans do have obvious advantages:
(1) The non-stick pan can be washed clean with clean water. For example, when we finish frying a dish and are ready to stir-fry the next dish, just rinse the pot with water.
(2) The oil on the surface of the iron pot adheres and is difficult to rinse with water. I believe that many friends have a deep understanding of this situation, and in fact, it is also the reason why I feel that the iron pot is not easy to use.
Why do you want to change a non-stick pan back to an iron pan?
If the non-stick pan has so many advantages, why did I switch the non-stick pan back to the iron pan?
Actually, it's not just me, there are many friends who have this kind of thought.
The final decision to replace the non-stick pan with an iron pan was due to the following four reasons.
(1) - Do not use an iron spatula
The first reason why I changed the non-stick pan back to the iron pan was that I couldn't use an iron spatula.
In fact, when stir-frying and cooking, many of our friends are used to using iron spatula.
In particular, we use a pan to fry eggs, and if we don't use an iron spatula, the eggs can't be turned up, which is very troublesome.
Due to the coating of the non-stick pan itself, the following problems will occur during use:
(1) There are many scratches on the bottom of the pot. This is also the most common case, after using an iron spatula a few times, you will find scratches everywhere on the bottom of the pot.
(2) It will cause the non-stick pan coating to fall off. This is also a more serious situation, if it falls off, the non-stick pan will not be able to be used, and it will have to be replaced with a new one.
(2) - Peel off the coating
The most important reason that caused me to change the non-stick pan at home back to the iron pan was that the non-stick pan fell off the coating.
In fact, I have been using the non-stick pan at home for more than a year.
Of course, it has a lot to do with my usage habits. Because I used to use an iron spatula, and sometimes I used to use iron to pop.
Over time, the non-stick pan in my house has the following situation:
(1) There are a lot of scratches in the non-stick pan. And the coating on the surface of these scratches has fallen off, revealing the body of the pot inside.
(2) The coating on the center of the non-stick pan begins to fall off in pieces. After more than a year, a large area fell off, revealing the metal inside the pot.
(3) - uneven thermal conduction
Another reason that caused me to change the non-stick pan back to the iron pan is that the heat conduction of the non-stick pan is not very even.
For this point, many friends may not have a particularly deep experience.
However, for a friend like me who is not very good at cooking, the experience is particularly deep.
Because every time we use a non-stick pan to stir-fry and compare it with a traditional iron pan stir-fry, we find that the difference is indeed obvious.
The specific differences are reflected in the following two aspects:
(1) If the stir-fry is not timely, you will find that the dishes in some places are fully cooked, and the dishes in some places are still raw. In fact, this is the table of uneven heat conduction.
(2) If you use a non-stick pan to fry eggs, you will find that the part near the center of the pan is particularly easy to paste, and the eggs around the part are raw. In fact, it also leads to unevenness.
(4) - Paste the bottom of the pot
Another important reason that caused me to change the non-stick pan back to the iron pan was that it was easy to paste the bottom of the pan.
In fact, the important reason for pasting the bottom of the pan is also caused by the uneven heat conduction of the non-stick pan.
Because there is a coating on the inside of the non-stick pan, after all, it will affect the heat dissipation of the pan.
And the presence of these coatings can indeed lead to the bottom of the pan being muddled:
(1) In the process of stir-frying, if we do not control the time and do not stir-fry in time, then you will find that the dishes in the center will be pasty and even stick to the bottom of the pot.
(2) If you use a non-stick pan to fry some foods, such as fried eggs and fried chicken cutlets, the parts near the center are particularly easy to fry and need to be stir-fried in time.
How did you feel after switching back to the iron pot?
Now that the non-stick pan has been replaced with an iron pan, how does it feel to use it?
Perhaps, this is also a very important issue that many friends are concerned about.
I've been using an iron pot for more than half a year now.
In the more than half a year of using the iron pot, the feeling is still relatively deep, and I will share it with you as follows.
(1) - easy to use
The first very good feeling is that the iron pot is better to use.
Easy to use, in fact, is determined by our daily usage habits.
Because for most of our friends, the use of iron pots is the following habits:
(1) Stir-fry more freely. Whether we use an iron spatula or a wooden spatula, we don't have to worry about scratching the bottom of the pot and causing the coating to peel off.
(2) Stir-fry is also more even. This point, in fact, everyone has experienced, the iron pot stir-fry is particularly free, and the taste of the fried dishes will be better.
(2) - Heating evenly
After replacing the non-stick pan with an iron pan, the second very obvious feeling is that the iron pan is heated more evenly.
In fact, no matter what kind of pot we use, we hope that the pot will be better to use and heat more evenly, because the fried dishes will be better this way.
After I changed the non-stick pan at home to an iron pan, I felt very deeply in this regard.
Among them, you can learn about the following feelings:
(1) Don't stir-fry so often. That is to say, when stir-frying, you can stir-fry regularly, unlike a non-stick pan, which should be stir-fried all the time. Moreover, the iron pot stir-fry, the dishes are cooked more evenly.
(2) It is rare to paste the bottom of the pot. For friends who love fried eggs, in fact, you should experience this, and you will find that the effect of the iron pot will be better.
(3) - Durable
After replacing the non-stick pan with an iron pan, it is obvious that the iron pan is more durable.
In fact, for the iron pot, many friends may be worried about the problem of rust, and there are almost no other problems.
So, in general, iron pots are more durable than some other pots and pans.
For iron pots, it has the following characteristics:
(1) There will be no peeling off of the coating. Unlike non-stick pans, after a year or two of use, the coating comes off and it can't be used. Iron pots, on the other hand, don't, and the more you use them, the better they get.
(2) There is a layer of oil on the surface of the iron pot, which forms a good protection for the inside of the pot. So as long as you brush the pot clean and dry it every time, the pot will hardly rust.
How to buy a pot for home use?
(1) - Pig iron pot
In fact, the cast iron pot is a more traditional iron pot. In the past, most of the iron pots used on the big stoves at home were cast iron pots.
There is a defect in the pig iron pot, that is, it is afraid of bumping, and if it is bumped, it may be broken.
However, the pig iron pan is indeed very suitable for household use. If you use it every day and rub it often, you will find that the brighter you use, the brighter you use, the better it will be.
(2) - wrought iron pot
Wrought iron pot is a popular iron pot at present, not a traditional iron pot.
One of the disadvantages of wrought iron pot is that it is relatively bulky, so you must try it when you choose.
However, with our use, the inside of the wrought iron pot will become brighter and brighter, and the more we use it, the easier it will be, and it is also very durable.
Written at the end of the article
For all kinds of pots, we can't pursue appearance, but consider which one we are used to using and which one is more durable.
In fact, for most of our families, it is recommended that you try to choose a traditional iron pot. If you get used to it, you will find that the more you use it, the better it will be.
