How to use and choose stainless steel containers correctly?

Stainless steel is made by adding alloying elements to steel. Compared with other metals, stainless steel containers are stronger and more resistant to corrosion, but many consumers have misunderstandings about the use of stainless steel containers.

Today, the editor of Jushu tells you that you should pay attention to the following points when using stainless steel containers correctly:

First, do not store salt, soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable soup, etc. for a long time, because these foods contain a lot of electrolytes. If they are stored for a long time, stainless steel will electrochemically react with these electrolytes like other metals, causing harmful metals Elements are dissolved out.

The second is to avoid using stainless steel pots to cook traditional Chinese medicine, because traditional Chinese medicine contains a variety of alkaloids, organic acids and other ingredients, especially under heating conditions, chemical reactions will occur with them, which will make the medicine ineffective, and even generate some more toxic complexes. compound.

Third, do not wash with strong alkaline or strong oxidizing chemicals, such as baking soda, bleaching powder, sodium hypochlorite, etc., because these substances are strong electrolytes, which will also electrochemically react with stainless steel.

The fourth is not to burn in empty. Compared with iron and aluminum products, Stainless Steel Cookware has lower thermal conductivity and slower heat transfer time, and empty burning will cause the aging and peeling of the chrome-plated layer on the surface of the cookware. Fifth, keep the cooking utensils clean, scrub frequently, especially after storing vinegar, soy sauce and other condiments, wash them in time to keep the cooking utensils dry.

At present, most of the stainless steel products on the market do not explain the content of nickel and chromium. How should consumers identify high-quality and low-quality stainless steel products?

In general, qualified stainless steel tableware will be heavier than unqualified products. Tested with a magnet, the quality of the product that cannot be absorbed by the magnet is high, while the product that can be firmly absorbed is definitely not a good stainless steel, which proves that it contains less nickel. It is better not to buy so-called stainless steel products from stall hawkers. The real stainless steel products are not so cheap, because the price of the products is determined according to the cost of the production materials. That kind of light "stainless steel" is definitely not food-grade stainless steel, so don't be greedy to buy fake and shoddy products. , otherwise it will damage your health.
