Air Dry Upside Down

 

Air Dry Upside Down 🌬️

Proper drying is essential to prevent mold, mildew, and lingering odors in your simmer pot. Air drying upside down ensures that any remaining moisture completely evaporates. Follow these simple steps to do it right:

---

1️⃣ Place on a Drying Rack or Clean Towel 🏡

• After washing, turn the pot upside down on a drying rack or clean kitchen towel.
• This allows water to drain out completely, especially from the rim and bottom.

💡 Tip: If your pot has handles or crevices, tilt it slightly to ensure even airflow.

---

2️⃣ Leave It to Air Dry for at Least 30 Minutes ⏳

• Let the pot sit undisturbed for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
• If your pot is made of porous material (like ceramic or cast iron), leave it for longer to ensure full drying.

💡 Tip: If possible, place it near an open window or fan to speed up drying.

3️⃣ Check for Any Remaining Moisture 🔎

• Before storing, gently touch the inside and outside of the pot.
• If there are damp spots, use a clean, dry towel to pat them dry.

💡 Tip: For pots with tight lids, keep them slightly open to avoid trapped moisture.

4️⃣ Store Only When Fully Dry 🏺

• Once the pot is 100% dry, store it in a cool, dry place.
• Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated to prevent odors.

💡 Tip: If you live in a humid area, place a silica gel packet nearby to absorb excess moisture.
