Bowls are an essential tableware in our daily lives. However, did you know that some bowls on the market look beautiful, but they are actually very unsafe and can even endanger our health?
In this issue of [Home Furnishing Topic], I will summarize the real feedback of many fans, which bowls are on the market, "it is not recommended to buy". For the safety of our home life, we might as well take two or three minutes to take a look!
1. Bowl with gold edge
Bowls with gold rim look very high-end and have a lot of texture, and many people like to buy them to decorate the dining table or give them to relatives and friends. However, this kind of bowl actually adds a layer of coating to the edge of the bowl, and this layer of coating is easy to fall off during use, and there are two disadvantages:
(1) Affecting the appearance, the edge of the bowl becomes uneven, not smooth, not bright, it looks like a tattered goods, which makes people lose their appetite;
(2) Unsafe, the coating is composed of chemical elements, and even some contain heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc., which are harmful substances to the human body, and if they enter our body, they will lead to poisoning, nerve damage, liver and kidney dysfunction and other serious consequences. Therefore, don't buy bowls with gold edges, don't use them, and don't give them away.
2. Bowls with glaze color technology
The bowl with glaze color process is a very common ceramic bowl, which is characterized by coating the surface (glaze) of the bowl with various colors of paint, and then firing it at high temperatures, which looks like a beautiful picture has been painted, and it is very artistic. However, this kind of bowl also has big pitfalls:
(1) Intolerance
Because the paint is fired above the glaze, it is easy to be scratched by cutlery such as knives and forks, spoons, etc., causing the paint to fall off, affecting the beauty and service life of the bowl.
(2) In-high temperature resistance
Because the paint is fired above the glaze, so its melting point is lower than the glaze, if the bowl is put into a microwave oven with a high fire, if the time is too long, the paint will be heated to expand, decompose, cause the paint to crack, or even burst, affecting the integrity and safety of the bowl.
(3) Unsafe
Because coatings are composed of chemical elements, and many coatings are of uneven quality, there are some low-quality glaze color bowl paints containing heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc., these are harmful substances to the human body, if the paint falls off, it will come into contact with food, enter our body, and seriously affect our health.
3. Too cheap stainless steel bowls
The advantages of stainless steel bowls are that they are durable, resistant to high temperatures, not easy to break, not easy to rust, and not easy to stain, and many people like to use it to hold hot soup, hot rice and other foods. But the price of some stainless steel bowls on the market is very cheap, even cheaper than ceramic bowls, this kind of low-cost stainless steel bowls, really can't buy!
There is no good goods at a low price, and a stainless steel bowl that is too cheap at least shows that its raw materials are poor.
That is, no food-grade stainless steel is used, but industrial-grade stainless steel, which has a low price, but it is also doped with a lot of heavy metals, such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, etc., which are harmful substances to the human body, and if used for a long time, it will lead to serious consequences such as cancer, allergies, and decreased immunity.
4. Bowls without "bowl holders" at the bottom
A bowl without a "saucer" at the bottom is a very common bowl, and it is characterized by the fact that the bottom of the bowl and the edge of the bowl are flush, without a small bulge, so that it looks like a perfect circle, which is very beautiful. But this bowl also has big drawbacks:
(1) It is easy to burn hands. Because the bottom of the bowl is flush with the edge of the bowl, the bottom of the bowl will also be hot when the bowl is filled with hot soup, hot rice, etc., and if we hold the bowl directly with our hands (without wearing insulated gloves), it will feel very hot.
(2) Easy to break. The bottom of the bowl does not have a small bulge, this small bulge is actually a very important design, it can make the bowl on the tabletop, there is a small support point, increase the stability of the bowl, prevent the bowl from sliding, if the bowl does not have this small bulge, it will be easy to slide, causing the bowl to break.
Say in the end:
The 4 types of bowls introduced to you above are undeniably that they do have their own advantages, but the disadvantages are more obvious. So here I also advise everyone, it is better not to invest. In particular, "glaze color bowls" and stainless steel bowls that are too cheap are really unsafe!
