What are the taboos for using stainless steel kitchenware?

As we all know, stainless steel is made of iron, chromium, nickel alloy, and then mixed with trace elements such as molybdenum, titanium, cobalt and manganese. Its metal properties are good, and the made utensils are beautiful and durable. This is also an important reason why many people buy stainless steel kitchenware. However, if you use stainless steel kitchenware improperly, it will also endanger your health. Pay attention to the following behaviors.

The use of stainless steel kitchen utensils is taboo:

1. Avoid storing too acidic food

Stainless steel kitchen utensils should not be filled with white vinegar, mature vinegar, acidic liquid and juice, etc. Because the electrolyte in these raw materials can have a complicated "electrochemical reaction" with the metal elements in stainless steel, so that the excessive elements can be dissolved out.

2. Avoid washing with strong alkali and strong oxidizing agents

Such as alkaline water, soda and bleaching powder. Because these strong electrolytes will also "electrochemically react" with certain components in stainless steel, which will corrode stainless steel appliances and cause them to dissolve harmful elements.

3. Avoid boiling and frying Chinese herbal medicine

Because the ingredients of Chinese herbal medicine are complex, most of them contain a variety of alkaloids and organic acids. When heated, it is easy to chemically react with some ingredients in stainless steel, and may even produce some more toxic substances.

4. It is not suitable for empty burning

Because stainless steel has lower thermal conductivity and slower heat conduction than iron and aluminum products, air firing will cause the chrome coating on the surface of the cookware to age and fall off.

Simple cleaning coup:

Principle: The acetic acid in tomato sauce chemically reacts with metal, making the stainless steel pot bright as new.

1. Squeeze the detergent from 1 bottle cap of Coke, add 2 caps of tomato sauce, and add 3 caps of water and mix thoroughly.

2. Apply the adjusted cleaning agent to the stainless steel kitchenware, then scrub the dull areas, and finally rinse with water to become bright as new.
