1. When using the iron kettle for the first time, wrap a small cup of tea leaves in a cloth and put it in the iron kettle and add water to steam for about 10 minutes (in addition, lemon slices can be directly put into the iron kettle to remove the peculiar smell). In this way, the tannin contained in the tea and the iron dissolved in the iron pot will form a layer of tannin iron film on the surface of the iron pot, which will make embroideries more uncomfortable. After boiling, pour out the water in the pot and repeat 2-3 times until the water is transparent. It is recommended that the new pot be used every day when it is first started, so that the scale can be quickly paid off.
2. The most suitable heat source for iron pots is charcoal fire. Now electric stoves and gas stoves can be used instead of induction cookers. It is recommended to use moderate energy for heating. Because the characteristic of the iron bottle is to slowly release the iron through the process of gradual heating, thereby increasing the taste of drinking water and helping the body to absorb minerals.
3. For daily use, please fill 8 minutes full of water to avoid overflow after boiling. After the iron kettle is used for about 5 days, scarlet spots will appear on the inner wall, and white scale will appear in about 10 days. This is normal, as long as the water is not turbid, it will not affect drinking. Do not remove it, do not wipe it or wash it because it is rusty. If the situation is really serious, wipe it off gently with a sponge or soft towel.
4. After each use, turn on a small fire to fully evaporate the water in the pot, and then wipe it with a dry soft cloth to keep the pot dry. Before the iron kettle is completely cold, please do not close the lid, and wipe the lid with a dry cloth. This is because if you put the boiled water into a thermos or other container and immediately close the lid, the steam in the pot will become water droplets and flow into the pot as the temperature drops, leading to embroidery.
