The most common mistake that spoils dishes

You probably have a favorite skillet or saucepan that you cook in the most. Steel, non-stick or cast iron - it doesn't matter. You use it day after day and gradually it wears out. This process will happen much faster if the dishes are improperly handled.

After some time, you will notice that the bottom is deformed, and the surface warms up unevenly.

This happens if you remove hot dishes from the stove and immediately fill them with cold water.

Many people make this mistake because it's easier afterwards. wash the dishes from fat and burnt food particles. They simply do not have time to dry out. But the harm from such a habit can outweigh the benefits.

A sudden change in temperature on the surface of a frying pan or saucepan will seriously deform the bottom. Such dishes are not only unstable on the stove - they conduct heat unevenly, which means that you get not completely fried meat, half browned pancakes and half-baked half-burnt vegetables.

The solution to the problem is very simple. Let the dishes cool to room temperature before pouring water into them. As you know, when heated, the metal expands, and when it cools, it contracts. When cooled slowly, the material will shrink gradually and the probability of deformation will be reduced to a minimum.
