We are all familiar with silicone, but in our impression, it can only be used to make some connecting components or building materials accessories. In fact, silicone itself is very safe and stable, and because it has good flexibility and won't corrode, there are many tableware made of silicone as raw materials on the market, such as silicone spoons, silicone bowls and chopsticks, especially for friends with infants and children at home, Our biggest concern is the health of the material, so silicone tableware has a competitive advantage in this area. Moreover, if a child accidentally knocks the tableware onto the ground, there is no need to worry about product damage.
1、 Is silicone tableware safe
Silicone products are very common in daily life, such as phone cases, drain racks, kitchen utensils, etc. Silicone tableware is also gradually entering public life. Is silicone tableware toxic? It can be confirmed that products that meet relevant national standards are definitely non-toxic unless the manufacturer uses compounds that do not comply with regulations during the production process, resulting in safety issues with the product. Therefore, if you want to purchase silicone tableware, finding a legitimate manufacturer to produce silicone tableware that meets relevant regulations is not a safety issue and is not toxic.
2、 Advantages of silicone tableware:
1. Silicone tableware is molded using food grade silicone material, which is non-toxic, odorless, safe, and environmentally friendly.
2. Silicone tableware can be folded, kneaded, flipped, etc. It does not occupy space and will not adsorb oil stains. It has a drying agent function, so it will not become moldy or deteriorated due to long-term storage.
3. Silicone tableware should be well matched with the temperature of the food. Whether the food is cold or hot, silicone tableware can protect the temperature of the food and reduce temperature loss. Food placed in silicone containers can maintain its original temperature after a period of time and will not transmit the temperature to the user, making it less likely to get hot.
4. Compared with ceramics, silicone tableware has the biggest feature of being resistant to falling and not making any noise when dropped on the ground. The ceramic tableware commonly used by Chinese people is good, but fragile. Although plastic tableware can withstand falling, its hardness is high and it may have cracks and cracks after falling. Silicone tableware can be easily dropped without worrying about damage.
5. Good heat resistance. Silicone has excellent temperature resistance and can withstand high temperatures of 240 degrees Celsius without deformation or deterioration. It also does not harden at 40 degrees Celsius, so you can use it for steaming, boiling, baking, and more.
Silicone tableware is easy to clean. Because silicone does not stick to oil or absorb oil stains, it is easy to clean.
7. Multiple colors and shapes. Many colors can be mixed according to the needs of users, and various shapes of tableware can be shaped.
When it comes to the drawbacks of silicone, it is aimed at Chinese people because they are accustomed to porcelain tableware and feel that the texture of silicone tableware is not good. Most importantly, although silicone tableware has high heat resistance, it can only meet the requirements of Western cuisine. For Chinese cuisine, its heat resistance is still lower than the requirements of Chinese cuisine, for example, the high temperature during high heat frying often makes silicone tableware unrecognizable.
Overall, silicone tableware is not very suitable for traditional Chinese cuisine, but when it comes to Western cuisine or eating cold food, the advantages of silicone such as safety, environmental protection, and foldability are still quite prominent. So silicone, a material that can also be processed into silicone tableware, has the best advantage of being safe and environmentally friendly, healthy without loss, and because silicone has good flexibility, it won't cause wear and tear on the tableware if broken. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for friends with infants and young children at home to use, and everyone can gain good later value and effects.
So as long as silicone tableware is produced by legitimate manufacturers that comply with relevant regulations, they are safe and non-toxic, and you can rest assured to choose and use them.
