Do you still use stainless steel tableware at home? I only know the reason for this today, so let's find out together.
When it comes to stainless steel tableware, everyone is familiar with it. It is found in almost every household, and it is especially common for people with children at home. Stainless steel cutlery is not only beautiful to look at, but it is also easy to clean and very resistant to falls. No matter how much you fall, it won't break. However, if you have stainless steel tableware at home, there are a few points that need to be paid attention to, otherwise it is not good for health. Why?
The first point is that stainless steel tableware should not be used to store excessively salty or acidic food for a long time. For example, vinegar, salt, soy sauce, vegetable soup, and acidic juices are often stored. If stored for a long time, the electrolyte content in it is high, which will cause electrolyte chemical reactions in stainless steel and other metals, making the tableware easy to rust and corrode. If you need to use it, wash it off promptly.
Second, don't use stainless steel tableware to fry Chinese medicine. Many people directly use stainless steel tableware to cook traditional Chinese medicine for convenience.
However, there are many alkaloids and organic acids in traditional Chinese medicine. During the heating process, chemical reactions inevitably occur, resulting in the ineffectiveness of the drug and even the production of some more toxic substances.
Third, don't burn stainless steel tableware. Because stainless steel cutlery has a low thermal conductivity, the heat transfer time is longer. If it is burned empty, it will cause the chrome plating layer on the surface to deteriorate and fall off.
Finally, be careful not to use strong alkaline or oxidizing chemicals to clean stainless steel tableware when cleaning. Because these substances are electrolytic substances, they will react chemically with stainless steel. If you want to wash frequently, you can use a detergent to wash and dry it with water after washing.
In addition, remind everyone to look for the logo on the stainless steel when buying stainless steel tableware, and do not buy inferior stainless steel tableware. I believe that after the introduction of this article, you have understood how to use stainless steel tableware correctly.
