Why shouldn't you rinse an iron wok with water right after cooking?

Iron woks are a common tool for cooking in the home. Even though all kinds of pots and pans have appeared in our field of vision nowadays, iron woks are still the most popular.

Because iron pots have stronger heat resistance, longer service life, and are rich in iron.

While iron woks are excellent, there are many things to keep in mind when using them. We've noticed that some families maintain their iron woks exceptionally well, keeping them always shiny and lustrous.

However, some families make their iron pots in a terrible state, full of rust and strange smells.

Ms. Bai's family is like this; even though the pot was only a little over six months old, rust appeared on the bottom.

Although she had tried to remove the rust, the dishes she cooked always had a rusty taste, no matter how much seasoning she added. Her husband and children couldn't stand it anymore and told her to get a new pot.

Ms. Bai was puzzled. No matter how expensive or high-quality the iron pot she bought was, it would always develop this problem after a period of use.

One day, when her husband was off work, he saw Ms. Bai rinsing the iron pot with water after cooking at noon. He suddenly realized what was going on and scolded his wife for lacking common sense.

Doctors also remind everyone that there is a major taboo when using iron pots: you should not rinse them immediately after cooking!
