grass

Advantages: Heat-resistant glass can be heated in an oven or microwave.

Disadvantages: fragile, heavy, need to avoid contact with large temperature differences

When choosing glass tableware, the most important thing is safety. You must use it carefully and take care of it, or you will say goodbye to it if you are not careful.

In addition to being fragile, the use of glass must also pay attention to the degree of heat resistance. Generally speaking, there are two types of glass: heat-resistant glass and heat-resistant glass. If the utensils are heat-resistant, they should not be used to eat hot food, nor should they be placed in the oven or microwave. In addition, for safety's sake, eco friendly cutlery set of whether it is heat-resistant or not, it is not recommended to let tableware come in contact with utensils with a large temperature difference.

When cleaning, it is best to wash gently with a sponge instead of vigorously with a steel brush or vegetable cloth.

Stainless steel

Advantages: durable, high temperature resistant, affordable

Disadvantages: intolerant to acid, non-microwave, good heat conduction, easy to get hot

According to the different ratios of cadmium and nickel, stainless steel can be divided into 200, 300, 400 series, of which 304 and 316 stainless steel are most suitable for making tableware. 304 stainless steel is commonly known as "white iron" and has good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel is a medical-grade material, because it has more molybdenum (Mo) than 304, it is stronger and more corrosion-resistant, but the price is relatively higher.

In addition, there is 430 stainless steel, which also meets food-grade standards. But its corrosion resistance is worse than the above two kinds of stainless steel, and it is easier to rust in comparison, but the price is relatively low.

You may have doubts about the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, but don't worry, as long as you choose 300 series stainless steel tableware, it is unlikely to dissolve toxic substances under normal conditions.

polymer plastic (melamine)

Melamine resin has the advantages of drop resistance, durability, easy cleaning, etc., so it is favored by the catering industry, and restaurants often use tableware that matches the type of tableware. It is made by the polymerization of melamine and formaldehyde. The name "melamine" is used in the transliteration of the English word melamine.

Advantages: drop resistant, durable, easy to clean

Disadvantages: concerns about dissolved poisons

The heat-resistant temperature of melamine is 110°C-130°C. However, some studies have pointed out that if it comes into contact with high-temperature materials, even if the tableware or container is not deformed, it may still release melamine, so it is best not to touch too high temperature. food. In addition, if there are scratches or scratches on the surface, it is easy to produce poison. Therefore, if you use melamine tableware, avoid prolonged soaking in hot soup or contact with hot food. When washing, be careful not to scratch the tableware. If there are really scars, replace the tableware with new ones!
