Usually when we enjoy food, are we enjoying its taste or the utensils that carry it? I believe that people who know how to enjoy life know that the real enjoyment is that food and utensils should not be let down. And if you want to create an exquisite gourmet feast, naturally those beautiful and practical bowls are indispensable, Glass product  .

The emergence of tableware such as bowls and plates has added the icing on the cake to the culture of "eating". What we want is not only to eat healthy, but also to eat beautifully. And all kinds of bowls are added, which can be regarded as a beautiful landscape on the table. Therefore, if you want to have a ceremonial meal, you cannot ignore these three methods for choosing bowls.


Bowl material selection

There are many materials used in bowls, such as porcelain bowls, glass bowls and stainless steel bowls, but do they affect our health? So what kind of bowl is good? What kind of bowl is healthier to use? Let me and you all find out together.

1. Porcelain material

Porcelain bowls have a long history, which fully reflects that the use of porcelain bowls in China for 5,000 years is very common. It is usually made of clay and other inorganic metal raw materials, which are processed by molding or sintering. , can be divided into two kinds of underglaze color and overglaze color.

①Underglaze

Underglaze color means that after the semi-finished product is painted with a pattern, it is glazed and fired in a high-temperature kiln. The glaze is bright and artistic, and the heavy metals in the pigment are not easy to seep out, so the material is safe, can withstand high temperature, and has a better thermal insulation effect.

However, because the color painting is applied on the glaze, it is easy to wear and tear, and it is also susceptible to corrosion by acid and alkali.

②Overglaze

Overglaze ceramics are made of pigments to make flower paper on the glaze, or directly painted with pigments on the surface of the product, and then baked at a low temperature. It cannot sink into the glaze. When you touch the glazed ceramics with your hands, you will feel that the flower surface has obvious bumps.

However, the heavy metals in the paint on the on-glaze bowl wall are easy to seep out during use, so there is a big safety hazard.

Selection suggestion: From the point of view of the production process, underglaze colored porcelain is safer to use as bowls, while overglaze colored porcelain bowls are less safe. Therefore, when purchasing, we should try to choose porcelain bowls with fewer patterns.

In addition, when purchasing porcelain bowls, you can carefully observe whether the inner wall of the tableware is smooth and clean, and scrape it with your fingernail. It is likely to be an inferior product with excessive heavy metals.

At the same time, in order to ensure safety, before using the ceramic bowls, boil them in boiling water for 5 minutes, or soak them in vinegar for 2 to 3 hours to dissolve the harmful substances in the ceramic bowls. In addition, white porcelain should be soaked in white vinegar, and colored porcelain should never be heated in a microwave oven.

2. Glass material

Glass is a common material in life. Compared with other bowls, it is more malleable and safe, and it does not contain organic chemicals during the firing process. Therefore, when you eat in glass bowls, you don't have to worry about eating them. Chemicals that affect your health. In addition, it can also be used to serve soups of different temperatures.

Because the surface of the glass bowl is relatively smooth, bacteria and dirt are not easy to breed in the bowl, and it is easy to clean. Its gleaming glass also brings a sense of clarity, making it easy to feel happy and whet your appetite when dining.

Buying guide: Although glass bowls are good, you should also pay attention to whether the materials used are safe. The glass bowls currently on the market are generally made of lead-free tempered glass and lime-silica glass. They are also different in the firing process and safety performance. Let's take a look.

① Lead-free steel glass

A better glass bowl is made of lead-free tempered glass, which contains almost no lead. Compared with ordinary lead-free glass, it is not only transparent, but also not prone to yellowing or blackening even if it is used for a long time. Its sudden temperature difference is 120 degrees Celsius, even if it is suddenly changed by a strong temperature difference, it will not burst, and it is a heat-resistant glass tableware.

Therefore, it can be used in an oven or a microwave oven with high safety.

②Calcium silica glass

The production cost of ordinary calcium silicate glass is relatively low, so the price is relatively cheap, but it should be noted that the content of lead in this glass material is relatively high. It is easy to cause lead poisoning when used.

In addition, the rapid temperature difference of this type of glass is weak, and the short-term alternation of cold and heat can easily cause the bursting of the bowls. Therefore, if you need to use a microwave oven for heating, you should try to avoid lime-silica glass bowls.

Selection suggestion: Compared with ordinary calcium-silicate glass, lead-free tempered glass has a more complex process, better stability, and almost no lead. In terms of fragmentation, the crack of lead-free tempered glass is less sharp, and it is not easy to cut fingers when using it. Therefore, it is recommended to choose bowls made of lead-free tempered glass when choosing.

Tips for picking glass bowls:

① Visual inspection of the surface

The high-quality glass is bright in color, high in refractive index, and has a smooth surface. There will be a crisp metal sound when tapped lightly. The inferior glass has a dull color and poor workmanship. In some places, air bubbles are mixed, and the sound is dull when tapped.

② Observe the color

Colored glass bowls are produced by adding metal compounds to form different colors, and these metal compounds are prone to residues of heavy metals. Therefore, when purchasing, you should try to choose a colorless and transparent glass bowl. If there is color, you should choose the one with less bright color and more even distribution.

③Printing pattern

First of all, the pattern should be printed on the outer wall of the tableware, and it should not be in direct contact with the lips; then, the pattern should be smooth to the touch, and the coating should not fall off by lightly scraping it with a fingernail. This method allows the lead and cadmium in the paint to be "wrapped" by the glaze and not easily dissolved.

3. Stainless steel material

Stainless steel is made of iron-chromium alloy with a small amount of trace elements added, which is durable, easy to clean and environmentally friendly. It is more resistant to corrosion than other metals, and the metal is also very good. The bowls made of it are not only beautiful, but also have a long service life.

However, bowls made of this material are easy to be used improperly, which can release heavy metal substances contained in them, thereby endangering health. Therefore, in addition to serving meals for a short time, stainless steel bowls are not suitable for holding oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for a long time.

Recommendations for selection: household stainless steel bowls can usually be divided into three grades: 18-10, 430 and 304. Among them, food-grade 304 stainless steel is a good choice for household bowls. Even if it is soaked in strong liquid for a long time, it will not affect the health of the human body.

But nowadays many places have been polluted to varying degrees, so the chemical composition in the air will become more and more, so some 304 stainless steels cannot be resisted. If you want to have stronger corrosion resistance, then 18-10 stainless steel will be more suitable.

Bowl color selection

When we see different colors, our perception, memory or feelings will have complex and subtle changes, and this instinctive color response will also directly affect our emotions and behaviors. Therefore, bowls of different colors can unknowingly affect people's appetite.

However, the strong stimulating properties often make people feel less full, which can lead to overeating, so people who are slightly obese should try to avoid contact with bowls of this color. It is worth mentioning that orange bowls are very helpful for concentration and are very suitable for breakfast bowls.

2. Blue bowls

Blue, usually cheerful but also bitter, can not only reduce appetite, but also make food appear unpalatable. Therefore, if you often overeat, it is recommended to change the color of the bowl to blue, which can control your appetite well.

3. Purple bowls

The mild and cool purple is more mysterious and unique, and has the effect of preventing obesity. While making you feel bitter, it also makes you sick of food, and is a color that aids weight loss. When faced with purple bowls, you may slowly start to hate the food on them.

4. Red bowls

Red is a color that can increase appetite, so most restaurants will use red tablecloths. If the body is weak or suffering from anemia, it is better for people with poor hearts to often touch red bowls, but it is best for people who eat well to avoid contact with this color.
