The difference between a raw wok and a cooked wok Picture the difference between a raw wok and a cooked wok

Cooked iron pot, also called refined iron pot, is forged from wrought iron; Raw iron pot, also called cast iron pot, is made by melting and casting gray iron.

2. Different characteristics

Cooked wok has good ductility, high toughness, fast heat transfer and thin pan. The raw iron pot is fragile, with thick wall and slow heat transfer.

3, the daily maintenance is different

In daily maintenance, the raw wok is relatively easy to keep. As long as the detergent is not abused and cleaned in time after cooking, the raw wok is not easy to rust. Cooked cooking needs to be cleaned, dried or coated with animal oil, otherwise it will rust easily.

4, the degree of durability is different

From the point of view of durability, the cooked iron pot is more durable than the raw iron pot, because the raw iron pot is brittle, and it is easy to be deformed and scrapped when it is accidentally dropped or hit, while the cooked iron pot has better toughness and is not easy to deform.

What is a raw wok?

Raw iron pot, also known as cast iron pot, is mainly gray iron, which is poured into the model after being heated and melted. The bottom of the pot is thick and looks heavy. When cooking, the heat transfer is slow, but the internal heating is relatively uniform. When the fire temperature is very high, because of the particularity of the material, the temperature of the raw iron pot can be controlled at a constant temperature, which is suitable for slow frying.

What is a cooked wok?

Cooked iron pan is forged with black iron sheet or knocked by hand, which has the characteristics of thin pot blank and fast heat transfer. Cooked wok is a traditional Chinese wok, which is thin. The wok weighs only two kilograms, and the spoon is essential! Because it is very thin, it conducts heat quickly and its heat storage performance is relatively low. That is to say, the fire heats up quickly, and it will cool down immediately after turning off the fire, which is very helpful to grasp the temperature. Cooked iron pots are also very durable, and large shovels can be made at will. However, the cooked iron pot can only be used for cooking, and it is a single-function pot.

Rust removing method for iron pan

1, acid-vinegar method

Vinegar can remove rust. Heat the pot first and turn off the fire. Just dip the rag in vinegar to wipe the rust. Ordinary rust will fall off immediately.

2. Lard method

Fat pork in the pot, no need to put oil. When the oil in the pork is boiled, continue to coat the bottom of the pot with lard.

Step 3 soak in white vinegar

The iron pot at home is rusty. If the rust area is not large, you can pour a little white vinegar into the pot, then wipe the rusty part repeatedly with a discarded rag until the rust is clean, and then rinse the iron pot with clear water.
